Hi Mr. Blake,

Charles and I are thrilled with our new condo. It's just perfect for our needs.

We want to thank you for getting the loan for us, especially considering how difficult it was. Despte the $500,000 lawsuit that was filed against the condo complex last July, you found a way to work around it so the loan could be completed.

You also found a way to get my employment history accepted, which was truly amazing! Even though I only had 2 part time jobs for 1 year each at Vons as a bakery department clerk, and at the Kuma Sushi and Seafood Buffet as a hostess, before I took a full time customer service job at an import/export company just a month prior to the loan closing, you were able to get my income accepted for loan qualifying purposes.

Your advice to us about how to increase my FICO score was exactly right. By following it, my score increased 25 points in about 5 weeks to over 740, which lowered the cost of our loan significantly.

In addition, the 12 letters of explanation you wrote for us that the lender required, all of which were accepted, explaining so many different things, were quite fabulous. How you thought up the letter convincing the lender that my Vons and Kuma jobs were similar enough to my new job so that the income from it could be used to qualify for the loan, with only 1 month on the job, Charles and I are still amazed about!

Thank you so much again, Mr. Blake, for making our dream of home ownership come true. We don't believe anyone else could have done it, especially in less than 30 days from when the interest rate was locked.

In fact, 3 lenders told us the loan couldn't be done without even trying, causing us to almost give up. Then we met you and you said you would find a way to do it, which you did.

I will be happy to share my experience with you with other home buying clients you may have. Just have them give me a call 510-953-5102.
