I was referred to Walter by our real estate agent and had a great experience working with him. We had several different scenarios in mind for our loan needs and Walter helped us understand how our monthly payments might look in each case. The process to get prequalified was pretty easy and really helped us to know what budget we should set in our home search. I would recommend Walter for your mortgage lending needs!
We were recommended to Walter through a friend & if you're thinking about purchasing a home, please do yourself a favor and start with him! From our first conversation, we knew we were in excellent hands. As first time home buyers, we had A TON of questions, and Walter was extremely patient while answering every single one of them. He really took great care of us through the entire process & kept us informed through every step of the way; there were absolutely no surprises.
He guided us through the pre-approval process & once we actually started finding homes we were interested in, even helped strengthen our offers by getting us pre-approved all the way through one of his team's underwriters.
We changed real estate agents midway through the process & Walter made time to meet with them to ensure that the transition was a smooth one. He was so responsive & also managed to get us locked in at an excellent rate (during a time where rates were definitely getting worse).
I can't recommend him/his team highly enough & really appreciate everything he's done for us. And, as a final note, we picked up the keys to our new home this weekend! WOOO!

Thank you for your kind words. Congrats on your new home. It was truly a pleasure working with you both. Send us pic of you all at the new home when you're all settled in.
Walter is the best to work with. He was able to walk us through getting a heloc at the best rate and the entire process was really quick and easy.
Response from Owner
Thanks for your support and feedback about our FINtech HELOC. We're glad that you were able to secure and lock into our fixed rate heloc program before today's rate hike.
Walter was great to work with. He was quick to respond to my questions and guided us through the whole process.

It was a pleasure working with you Alan. We're so happy you were able to take advantage of the lower rates. We'll be sure to stay in touch and update you when the next refinance opportunity is here.
Walter is a quintessential professional. I could not have asked to work with a better loan officer. Buying a home is an unfamiliar process to me and Walter was extremely supportive in answering my questions. The process unfolded smoothly and with great communication from his end. I would work with him again without question.
A friend referred us to Walter and his team. I'm so happy we got a pre-approval from him. He and his team were so helpful and on top of everything. He was able to get a super competitive rate and closed on our house in a very fast time period of only 2 weeks. I would highly recommend Walter and his team to everyone. We were stressing out but they helped us through everything and explained it in a way we could understand as first time home buyers. Thank you Walter, James, Jasmine, and anyone else I may have forgotten.
Walter has come through yet again! We purchased a residence recently and Walter and his team delivered as they have done in the past!
-Effective communication- Kept us updated every step of the process. Any questions were immediately answered.
-Great rates- As good as any we saw out there.
-Punctuality - Action items quickly resolved and communicated quickly.
-Documents- Were clearly laid out for signature and all items explained.
Great team with consistently great performance!
Walter was informative, patient and available, and our refinance closed much faster than I though it would (less than a month, I believe!). I also love how they use technology for signing all the initial disclosures (so super easy to initial and sign documents) and the Notary Public they sent to our house for in-person signing of papers was great. Thank you, Walter and team!
He and hist team are very professional and very reliable. Whenever you ask questions, you can expect them to be answered promptly and throughly. I have done business with him three times already and I'm very happy with how all of them went throughout the whole process.

We're always ready to serve your mortgage needs. Thanks for the great review and continued support over the years.
Walter is super efficient and a great communicator - he and his team were very easy to work with and got me an excellent rate on a first-time home mortgage.
I have worked with Walter to refinance my mortgage a couple of times. He and his team give great rates, are responsive and easy to work with through the mortgage process. All terms are clearly articulated up front and they explain the process and documentation requirements really well too.
Most importantly, Walter keeps his client’s interests foremost. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a refinance.
Walter was extremely knowledgeable, responsive, and communicative. He made sure our refinance went through successfully, personally calling to follow up at major milestones and making himself available when we needed to call in with a question during signing. Hard to imagine anything else we would have wanted out of the process or experience.
Walter and his team at Guaranteed Rate were consummate professionals and got us the best rate and very low closing costs. Their customer service was impeccable and I was able to get instantly connected with them to answer my questions. Walter and his team made the whole process very smooth and uncomplicated and it was a pleasure working with Guaranteed Rate. Highly recommended!

Thank you for trusting us with your mortgage. We enjoyed working with you and let us know if you have any questions on your mortgage.
Walter and team are friendly, professional, and really good at what they do. They made the process from application through closing quick and easy. Walter was very responsive to questions and was always available to help. This was my first mortgage and homebuying experience and they made it low stress and straightforward.

Thank you for your business and support! We're glad you felt the experience was quick and easy. It's our mission to give you the best possible loan experience!
Patience is a virtue, and boy did Walter have patience in spades! I reached out to Walter back in 2019 to consider starting the refinance process, and over the course of home updates, a tumultuous presidential election cycle, and of course, the pandemic and subsequent lockdown in 2020, we didn't actually get around to enlisting Walter's services until 17 months later! During this entire time, Walter was in contact with us, keeping us apprised of the market and where mortgage rates were trending. When we finally got the application going, he was able to get us an amazing lock period at a tremendous rate.
Walter's exceptional service, responsiveness, attention to detail and ability to simplify a complicated process were truly remarkable. He is a terrific mortgage professional and an all-around great person, and his team is top notch as well. I feel like a broken record, but I would no doubt enlist his services again if the opportunity arose and would highly recommend him to anyone going down this mortgage journey!
Walter was straightforward to work with and guided us every step of the way. He and everyone else were very responsive and knowledgeable on all the paperwork required to get through the strenuous process of buying a house. As a first-time homebuyer, it was so easy to get overwhelmed, but with them, we were able to go through it one step and a time, and now we have a new home! We highly recommend! Thank you so much!
Walter Tang is awesome. SO prompt and quick with all communication. We will continue to come to him for all related services. Highly recommend to anyone who values professional, prompt, precise, and quality lender services. His team is also amazing-- Jazmin Larmier and Amy Brevick. Thank you so much to you all!
Walter and his team helped my husband and I get our mortgage during the COVID-19 pandemic. He gave us good advice when we were trying to get pre-approved, and gave great advice when trying to navigate through the pandemic. We got pre-approved early this year and made an offer right before the Bay Area shut down and it felt like a rollercoaster ride, but he and his team worked hard and we were able to buy our home! Everything was done online, and the only time we had to face anyone was during the signing with a notary. With the whole COVID mess we were able to close in a matter of 34 days and we locked in a great rate! Walter was referred to us by a family member and I would also refer Walter to anyone who is looking for a mortgage.
Walter provides an excellent and lightning fast experience. I originally financed a housing mortgage with Walter 3 years ago and recently he proactively emailed me about a refinance option that will significantly lower my current rate. I agreed and started the process. Everything moved along very quickly (under 2 weeks) and Walter responded to all of my questions and concerns within the hour via email. Overall, the whole experience was completely frictionless and I highly recommend Walter to anyone.

Thank You Jye. It was great working with you once again.
Walter was recommended to us by our real estate agent a couple years ago. He was very helpful and responsive, and his rates were great. We wound up going with the builder's lender due to very large credit Walter couldn't match. But now a few years later Walter was there for us to get us the best refinance rate we could find. Process was very easy due to GR's mostly online forms. Some documents needed to be signed with the notary in person, but signing process was much easier than our original loan. In summary, anything home finance related is a pain in the butt, but Walter helped make the process as painless as possible.
Response from Owner
Thank you for keeping us mind on the refinance. We're glad it all worked out for you. I do remember we were fortunate to have an appraisal waiver for your refinance, so no appraisal was needed during the pandemic.
Walter Tang has always been a pleasure to work with. Him and his team provide exceptional customer service, excellent communication and quick turnarounds along with the best rates.
Response from Owner
Hey Louis - Always a pleasure and thanks for your support!
I've financed two loans with Walter - first for my very first purchase of a home and second to refinance. Both times, Walter has been the pinnacle of professionalism and customer service. I cannot recommend him enough. Buying a home or a refinance can be stressful but it certainly makes a world of difference when you have a true partner handling your loan that you can trust and rely on.
I'm a curious detail oriented individual and sprung MANY questions on Walter and he was always VERY quick on the response and is good about explaining details regarding the loan process in a very clear and concise manner. He's also very friendly and pleasant to deal with. This makes a huge difference.
Thanks, Walter for your amazing service! I'll definitely be coming to you with future business.
Response from Owner
Thank you for your feedback. We look forward to working with you again during your next home search journey.
It was an immense pleasure working with Walter for our home loan refinance process. He was referred to me by a family member, and I am very glad we decided to work with Walter! From start to finish, he and his team were nothing but professional, providing extremely fast and thorough responses for all the questions we had during the process, and ensuring that things were clear and completed in a timely manner. Walter provided excellent guidance regarding our refinancing options, and we ultimately settled on a loan package and rate that fit our needs. Walter was with us every step of the way, and I can't say enough about his excellent customer service and ability to get our loan closed, helping us to take advantage of lower rates and reduce our monthly payments by a substantial amount. I highly recommend Walter for your mortgage financing needs. He and his team have demonstrated that they will get things done! Thank you Walter and team!
