"I had the pleasure of working with Mark Dankman's team for a listing of mine in Dublin, CA. Mark assisted the buyer with their financing and did a phenomenal job. His communication and speed at which he returned calls and emails was fantastic. I would highly recommend and work with Mark and team again. Top notch service."

"Your search for a mortgage broker is over. Look no further than Mark Dankman. We recently purchased a home in Rocklin and a friend referred us to Mark. He was outstanding from day one. Courteous and professional, we enjoyed a terrific experience throughout. It was a pressure packed 21-day escrow and Mark made sure we met all commitments and deadlines. He was our advocate throughout and handled our project with enthusiasm and discretion. This guy knows his business and he is absolutely someone that we were grateful to have on our team. Thank you Mark. We appreciate you and recommend you at the highest level. Absolutely fantastic service!"

"I recently bought my home through the California Dream For All program, and I'm really appreciative of the effort Mark put into helping me navigate the process. Even with the tight deadlines and extra steps involved, Mark showed professionalism and care. He worked closely with my real estate agent to ensure we stayed on track. I was first introduced to Mark by my real estate agent, and when I won the grant, I decided to continue working with him. He was sincere, positive, and always focused on helping me succeed, which gave me confidence throughout the process. While there were some challenges along the way, I appreciate Mark's commitment to getting me to the finish line. Thanks, Mark, for everything you did to help me close on my home!"

"Mark is a dream to work with! He communicates clearly, kindly and consistently. I am the listing agent on a home purchase that he was able to close in just a little over two weeks for his clients. I am so impressed at how smooth the entire transaction was, and how professional and easy to work with Mark was throughout. Any good Realtor will tell you that a reliable lender is a crucial component in a home purchase. I highly recommend Mark Dankman to anyone looking for a great mortgage lender!"

"Mark was excellent throughout the entire escrow process. As the listing agent, it was very important to me to have communication on the buyers loan status, and Mark contacted me frequently to make sure I was updated and had all the information my client and I needed for a smooth and successful close of escrow. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mark and will definitely recommend him to other Realtors."

"As a real estate professional I work with mortgage lenders everyday. Mark exceeded my expectations in all areas of service.

"Mark has been extremely helpful with getting my financing taken care of over the years. This is the second time Mark has helped me and will not hesitate in using him in the future if warranted. He's excellent with his customer service and makes sure everything gets done on time, and makes it as quick as possible for you. He makes the whole process worry-free and easy. Mark's advice is always straightforward and very helpful. Highly recommended if you need financing to work with Mark."

"We had an excellent experience working with Mark as first time home buyers. Throughout the process he took the time to explain everything to us, in a patient, professional manner and we appreciated his expertise for documents and terms that went over our heads. He made sure to get us the best rate and went above and beyond in not only building a relationship with us, but also our realtor. We needed to close fairly quick, and he worked around the clock to find us a notary, and to communicate quickly over text or phone call, whatever it took to get it done."

"Mark has helped me refinance my home twice. The first time, I was not at all familiar with the process so had a lot of questions. He laid out all the options, walked me through the pros and cons of each and made sure we locked my choice just before rates went up. He provided a clear list and secure portal for all the necessary paperwork and remained readily available to answer my questions until the process was complete. When rates dropped again down the road, he reached out to let me know and we had another smooth round, somehow squeezing the signing into my busy schedule."

"Mark has extreme knowledge about the loan process and has amazing rates. His rates by far were lower than any bank. He is amazingly fast with the entire process from start to finish. Mark will also guide you through every step of the process. I highly recommend Mark for any of your mortgage needs."

"I just finished working again with Mark and his team on my client's purchase. Mark worked overtime to get this deal closed on time. He always comes in with great rates and his communication is simply the best. As a Realtor I have worked with many different lenders and Mark is at the top of my list. He is so helpful and can navigate his way around all the bumps that seem to come up during the process making it less stressful and easier for my clients. I will be recommending Mark to all of my clients."

"Mark is the best of the best! No need to look anywhere else. Mark listens, explains, re-explains, being a first time buyer I had a lot of questions. He is patient and deserves to be recognized for his amazing work. Mark is positive and will do anything he can to get things done. Mark is organized and kept the home buying process simple and very efficient. People say they stress when buying a home and I did not experience that at all! It was a wonderful and rewarding experience. Give him a call, you will not be disappointed."

"It is rare that I take the time to review a lender with whom I have worked on a deal but in this case, Mark definitely deserves it as his attention to detail and professional support throughout my client's escrow was nothing short of extraordinary. His communication was tops, his attitude was always positive, and his willingness to work long and late hours to make it happen was what made the difference and impressed not only me but our clients and the listing agent as well. Without question I highly recommend Mark for your lending needs."

"Mark and Elaine are exceptional. I highly recommend his team at Resource Home Loan. Excellent communication, follow-up and overall professionalism. We closed from start to finish in 14 days, day 1 being the initial loan app. I really appreciated the personal touches like the hand written congratulatory gift card, as well. That is so rare nowadays! Rates were very competitive, as well. Thank you Mark."

"I contacted Mark through Resource Home Loan after trying another company who could not assist me. Mark was professional and went to work immediately at helping me refinance a property I was handling for an elderly relative. Mark's expertise enabled me to take some of the home's equity out in order to pay for her extended care. If you want a person who will work hard with utmost professionalism, genuine concern, and expediency I highly recommend Mark Dankman. My aunt is now living comfortably in assisted living and I'm able to afford the care because of the time and effort you put into funding the loan. I'm forever grateful!"
