I was not impressed. Andrew was unable to navigate to closure on my home buyer's mortgage, which a different broker closed for us a few weeks after we switched. Worse than that, until the last week or so of the process, he was very difficult to reach and did not provide us with timely updates. In fact, until late in the process he refused to even give us his cell phone number. My realtor and I found him extremely frustrating to deal with.
Description of Work: Andrew Soss was chosen by the buyer of my home to process his mortgage, for which the buyer was amply qualified.

Response from Stewart & Soss Mortgage
Obviously, there are two sides to every story, especially in a complicated Real Estate transaction. That being said, I dropped the ball on this one by not communicating with the seller of the home (the above reviewer) about the status of the loan transaction for my client (even though she was not my client, I should have kept her agent in the loop). This is not indicative of my overall practice as I have numerous favorable reviews on many other sites (google, yelp, zillow, redfin). If you do enough business, no matter how careful you are, sometimes things can and will happen, and that's what happened on this transaction unfortunately.

Andrew Soss and his team at Stewart and Soss bent over backward to make sure that our difficult closing proceeded without any delays. We had a short sale that turned into a last-minute, very short-term closing, and we would not have been able to close if not for Andrew, Karla, Nikki, and the rest of the Sand S staff. Additionally, I felt comfortable dealing with Andrew, as he was the only lender we spoke to (out of five) who didn't try to sell us on his company like a used car salesman. Andrew gave us the facts, both good and bad, about the loans he offered, always answered my "first-time homebuyer" questions even before we were his customers, and even once steered me away from jumping ship with my first lender (we ended up jumping ship for another reason). It was refreshing to deal with someone in this business with integrity.Finally, despite other "big bank" lenders continually telling us that "everyone gets their rate sheets from the same place," Stewart and Soss had the lowest rate (usually by 1/8 of a percent) on every single day that I inquired and compared.Thanks Stewart and Soss!
Description of Work: Stewart & Soss sold us the mortgage for our first home in San Jose, CA. They kept with us through a difficult short sale with long waits followed by quick deadlines.
