“If you want a mortgage advisor who acts as a true long-term financial partner, Aaron is the absolute best in the business.”

I cannot recommend Aaron Parks and his team at OriginPoint highly enough. I have worked with Aaron multiple times now, both for refinancing previous mortgages and most recently for securing the loan on our new home, and he delivers a flawless experience every single time. Throughout the entire process, Aaron was incredibly responsive and communicative. He was always there to answer our many questions and did an amazing job laying out different loan terms and options to ensure we got the best fit for our situation. Aaron is professional, incredibly communicative, and keeps everyone, including our real estate agent and escrow team, perfectly aligned throughout the entire timeline. If you want a mortgage advisor who acts as a true long-term financial partner, Aaron is the absolute best in the business.

Response from Owner

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me and my team over the years. It means a lot that we've been able to help with both your refinances and now the purchase of your new home. I'm glad we could find the right loan strategy for your goals, and I appreciate you recognizing the communication throughout the process. Congratulations again on your new home, and thank you for taking the time to share your experience!

“He made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless, strategic, and well-managed from start to finish.”

We had an outstanding experience working with Aaron Parks on the financing for our new investment property in Oceanside, CA. Aaron came highly recommended, and he absolutely lived up to the recommendation. From the very beginning, Aaron was proactive, responsive, and incredibly organized. He got us preapproved quickly, which helped make us competitive in the bidding process and gave the seller confidence in our ability to close. Once our offer was accepted, Aaron and his team moved fast and were able to close our loan in just 17 days — a huge advantage in a competitive market. Throughout the process, Aaron and Kim were on top of every detail, provided excellent guidance, and kept us informed every step of the way. His follow-up and communication were exceptional, and we always felt supported and confident that everything was being handled smoothly. Another factor that sets Aaron apart is that his service doesn’t stop at closing. He continues to stay in touch afterward, helping us think through next steps, outlining a refinance strategy for when rates improve, and even offering support if we ever run into servicing issues. That level of care, follow-through, and long-term partnership is rare. We highly recommend Aaron Parks and his team to anyone looking to finance a home or investment property. He made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless, strategic, and well-managed from start to finish. Molly + Katie G.

Response from Owner

Thank you both so much for the thoughtful review Molly and Katie! It was a pleasure helping you purchase your Oceanside investment property. I'm glad we were able to move quickly and make the process as smooth as possible. I truly appreciate your trust and look forward to helping you with this property—and whatever comes next. Congratulations again!

“Aaron and his team get the job done when my brother and I were looking for a house. They got the underwritten approval within the day in time for the deadline on making an offer.”

Aaron and his team get the job done when my brother and I were looking for a house. They got the underwritten approval within the day in time for the deadline on making an offer. Compared to Chase Bank when it took them a week. Aaron and his team respond fast, get paperwork done and give great advice and charts to compare the numbers. He listens well to our needs and budgets and helps set expectations and what to look out for. He explained the hidden costs of points and rate buydowns. I highly recommend him and his team.

“I highly recommend working with Aaron and his team. Flawless process!”

I recently worked with Aaron on securing a mortgage for a second home. I received multiple rates from different brokers and he was by far the most competitive. He kept me edcuated through the process and up to speed every day. We had a quick close but he made everything work out. I highly recommend working with Aaron and his team. Flawless process!

“He sprung into action and assisted me with all my questions and even gave me great advice on certain things I was unfamiliar with as a first time homebuyer.”

Aaron was referred by my relator, Cheryl. The moment we were introduced he sprung into action and assisted me with all my questions and even gave me great advice on certain things I was unfamiliar with as a first time homebuyer. I'd highly recommend Aaron to anyone who is a first time homebuyer and unsure of how the home buying process works. He's there for you and nothing more. I am happy to report that I found my dream home and it was an absolute pleasure working with him.

“Aaron was my lender for a home purchase and he was absolutely fantastic every step of the way. I would highly recommend using him.”

Aaron was my lender for a home purchase and he was absolutely fantastic every step of the way. From the ease with which he made the application process to the education he gave me on different options, Aaron made the process seamless and productive at the same time. More importantly, Aaron played a big role in helping me actually secure the home in a multiple offer situation by personally preparing materials and speaking with the sellers' agent to demonstrate my attractiveness as a buyer. And then once the sale was complete, he checked back in with me to ensure I had all the information I needed to be set up going forward. I would highly recommend using him.

Response from Owner
