Chris knew the answers to all of my questions…
For something that can be a stressful process I would have never wanted to do it with anyone else. Chris is a rock star and is an expert in his field. This was my second time purchasing a home and his patience, guidance and recommendations where what made something that I find stressful relatively painless.
He’s a pro and I can’t recommend him more highly.

Best House Buying Experience Ever
This was our second time buying a house and working with Chris a breath of fresh air. He made the process simple to understand, walked us along the whole process, and was absolutely the friendliest human I’ve ever met. His knowledge was incredible and he was more than professional. We were able to close on our house in 21 days, which really gave us an edge in this competitive housing market. We cannot recommend him highly enough! THANK YOU CHRIS!

Expert Lender
Can’t emphasize enough how EXCELLENT Chris was throughout the process. I have used other lenders over the years, but Chris stands out easily. He asks for exactly what he needs and does so in a timely way. In my other experiences, I’ve been asked to supply information ASAP – like by the close of day! But, with Chris, it is clear he knows the system well. So, no surprise requests; he anticipates what is needed early on; and, he provided very competitive rates. All of this is perfect for a busy professional like myself. Best of all, he is funny and a joy to interact with. Couldn’t recommend him more.

Fast, Easy, Informative, Exceptional
Thanks to Chris Crandall my husband and I were able to buy our first house and close in just 21 DAYS!!!!! As first time buyers aka clueless I can’t be more grateful to Chris! His help started even before the offer process. He got us quickly pre-qualified and easily navigated our extremely complex history due to being contractor’s (self employed) much of our last few years. Once we put our offer in he was again so informative and made the process so understandable and easy. This was invaluable to us. We even had what we thought be a game ending hiccup but Chris in the matter of a day was able to iron it out and allow us to continue seamlessly to close. Even after close he still checks in and I am very confident knowing he is a partner in our loan. I cannot recommend him enough. Amazing communication, education and performance. Couldn’t be more impressed!!!

Awesome!
Christian was amazing throughout my entire loan and escrow process. I am a first time buyer and he patiently answered every question I had. Additionally, if I needed to go over documents I was signing, he was willing to go over every word of them with me in real time if needed. He basically walked me through every step of the way leaving no room for misunderstanding. He worked to get me the best interest rate possible and gave me different financing options. He was professional and pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful. I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a home loan.

A Pleasure To Work With
The home loan process can be a daunting proposition, as there are a multitude of loan and lender options. I conducted a thorough review of financial institution offerings and decided to engage Chris Crandall to help guide our family thru what can be a time-consuming, complicated and, potentially, frustrating refinance process. Chris was the consummate professional, clearly and carefully explaining various loan scenarios and the advantages/disadvantages of each until we decided on the package that made the most sense for our specific needs. Throughout the entire process, he stayed in constant communication to keep us informed of the progress and ensured proper timeline expectations were set. He displayed a keen understanding of the market dynamics and uncanny ability to simplify seemingly complicated concepts. I can’t thank Chris enough for his patience and diligence and highly recommend him to anyone who’s exploring home loan options. He represents his company in an exemplary manner and definitely treats his clients with the utmost respect

I am happy to endorse Chris Crandall as a loan officer. I have worked in the mortgage banking industry and have done many loans. I would hire Chris again before even considering anybody else. Chris is very knowledgable and has a great grasp of the loan industry. My loan was complex and yet Chris was always upbeat and very supportive.

Chris is a true professional! He was honest, thoughtful, responsive, knowledgeable and dedicated to making this process as seamless as possible for my wife and I. This process can be very overwhelming and daunting for first time home owners but with the help from Chris, there was never one moment where I did not think he had the best interest for my wife and I first and foremost. Any time and I mean any time I had a question or concern he would have that answer or put me at ease within 10 minutes if not right away. To make things even sweeter he was able to pool his resources together and get us an 1/8 of a point discount. He made my dreams possible and I will always be grateful.

He was absolutely amazing!
Our family had the pleasure of working with Chris on our first ever home purchase. He was absolutely amazing! Chris is very experienced in his field and went above and beyond to fully explain the loan application process for us. Other big bank loan officers never did or could’ve done what Chris did for us. His rates were competitive, he was professional and friendly, and was very quick in his responses. I would definitely work with him again and would recommend him to everyone I know. Trust me, he’ll make any escrow process 100 times better and easier.

Chris is incredible. I can’t recommend him enough. He is so quick to respond to your inquiries and he was really helpful throughout the process. When we got an accepted offer, we posed a difficult challenge for him – 21 day escrow with my wife travelling to Europe for work and co-signers travelling to Europe – and he delivered! Chris and his team at New American Funding worked tirelessly and were able to navigate us through and make it happen. They were very clear as to what they needed from us and when they needed it by. I can’t stress enough how important quick response time is from a lender in this home buying market, and Chris is very quick and thorough.I greatly enjoyed my experience with Chris. I truly feel that he was pivotal in us being able to purchase a home successfully.

There aren’t enough positive comments to describe Chris and our experience working with him to purchase our new home. He was efficient, quick to respond, and extremely knowledgeable in all areas regarding the home loan and overall purchase. He was professional, friendly, and easy to work with. We would highly recommend him to our friends and family, and not hesitate to use him in any future purchase.

I have been looking into refinancing over the past few years to take advantage of reduced interest rates, with no success. Chris was able to help me out, making the process painless and quick. He responded to my many questions almost immediately, even after 8:00 upon occasion. He worked with us to establish our goals, and then got us a loan that fit exactly what we were looking for. I highly recommend Chris and his staff!

I cannot express enough how fortunate that I had Chris Crandall on my side for the recent purchase of a house in Santa Clarita Valley. From the initial call to post-closing, he was thorough, detail oriented, professional, and at the same time honest and friendly. Although it wasn’t my first purchase of house, I was new in CA, and he explained all of my questions with a heart of teacher. You need someone like him to build your solid team to go through one of the biggest purchases of your life. Whether you are a first-time home buyer or not, just pick up a phone and call this guy.

Chris was great! We did a purchase and a refi with Chris. He is very responsive and got us a loan when know one else could!We have great credit etc… but own 2 rental properties which made it difficult to qualify for a new home. Chris was able to get us a 30 year fixed at a great rate. I would highly recommend him!

I don’t know what else I can say besides that Chris was wonderful! His attention to detail and command of his business was phenomenal. When I read that Ben Bernanke couldn’t get a home loan I stepped into this process somewhat fearful. Chris collected our information, set realistic expectations, and proceeded to methodically guide us smoothly through the process. I recommend him highly and plan to use him for other real estate transactions.

Chris is honest and realistic.
5 stars all around!! Chris is our hero! He made our ” difficult situations” as stated by another lender, actually not so difficult at all. Chris is honest and realistic. If it is able to get done he will tell you and get it done in an extremely timely manner. A pleasure to work with and highly reccomend to all! Dr. & Mrs. Silver

My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to work with Chris on our recent home purchase. He was very professional yet very attentive to our specific needs and always seemed to be one step ahead of the process. Our loan experience was much more enjoyable than we remembered it being in the past and owe all the stress-free days in escrow to Chris.We would highly recommend him over and over again to friends, family and strangers… and can’t say enough great things about how he helped take great care of us during our recent home buying experience!

Through his efforts our quality of life has improved 10-fold.
When a big bank refused to help us achieve our dream of owning our perfect home, Christian stepped in and made it happen. Through his efforts our quality of life has improved 10-fold. He actually deserves 10 stars in all the categories above. Buying a home can be one of the most stressful experiences one endures in life, but Christian actually made it very easy. His sense of humor and easy way about him helped us surmount the challenges with ease, made the mundane aspects of getting a loan enjoyable and the easy stuff even more of a breeze. He was sympathetic to our frustrations, celebrated with us in our victories and was an amazing sounding board throughout the entire process. I recommend Christian 100%!

WOW! First of all Chris is just a friend. The minute you start working with him he gives his 100% attention to you and your case. He guides you through every step. Even teaches you about terms and gives you all options so you decide based on education and not guess or luck.
He is honest and he simply the best loan officer we have worked with that can close in a LIGHTNING SPEED.
We are so happy working with Chris and hope to have him and his services utilized in future purchases.

My last 2 loans were anything but straightforward and smooth.
I’ve closed 2 loans with Chris! He is the type of loan officer you want. Lightning fast response and patient enough to walk you through almost anything! But what I am most impressed with is his ability to solve problems. My last 2 loans were anything but straightforward and smooth. Chris has come through for both of them. He doesn’t sit back and wait for others to call him back. He actively asserts himself to resolve any issues. I highly recommend Chris!

Five stars in every category. Chris was there for me all the way. I’m a single woman who wanted to re-fi. Chris had done my initial mortgage a few years ago and I called him back for this. I wouldn’t use anyone else!
