Laurence & I would like to thank you for all your support & hand holding in helping us to get our mortgage for our new home. Without your help I don’t think we could have done it! (And I guess in today’s market we may not have.)
You made the seemingly impossible possible, and for that I am grateful! All the best to you!
~Laura Gates & Laurence Polikoff
Thank you so much for making our refinance process such an enjoyable and painless event. You and your team are truly professional in both your approach and service aspect of handling everything. I look forward to working with you again when we are ready to refinance in the future.
Thanks again for everything,
~Laurie Krashanoff
We wholeheartedly recommend Richard Redmond. As first time home-buyers, we were hesitant and a little intimidated by the process of not only finding the right home, but of the purchasing process itself. As a young couple with a teacher and field biologist’s income, we were even more nervous about financing and being able to afford a home in Marin County.
Richard’s calm persona and diligence made, what started out as a stressful, ambiguous process, efficient and hassle-free. Richard is one of the calmest, most serene professionals I have ever met in the real estate business. Additionally, his ability to get a stellar loan on a home that banks had already turned down is a testament to his work ethic and professional connections.
In short, Richard made us feel lucky and honored to know that he was looking out for our best interests at all times.

As a first-time home buyer in 2003, I had many questions and concerns about the entire mortgage process. Colette answered all of my questions thoroughly and patiently, helping me to feel knowledgeable and confident. I've since refinanced my home several times and wouldn't dream of working with anyone but Colette; she is responsive, thoughtful, intelligent, and very easy to work with. Even better, I always feel that she is looking out for my best interests.

Although Richard expertly guided us through two purchases, it was during the deal we didn’t do that he really shined. Just a few days before we were set to close on a new home my wife got a great job offer in another state. Richard was not only gracious about losing a loan that he had spent a lot of time on, but he also stepped in–our real estate agent was out of the country–and helped us through the difficult process of dealing with the developer to get back our deposit money. We couldn’t recommend anyone more highly.

Richard came highly recommended to us—not by just one person but by two. He exceeded even those high recommendations.
These days, there are many new types of loan offerings and they can be difficult to compare. Richard looked at our financial situation carefully, selected those offerings that made sense for us, and explained them very clearly and patiently. When it came time to make a decision, all our doubts had been erased, and our decision was easy.
Richard is extremely knowledgeable about mortgages and how best to navigate the complicated financial landscape. He’s creative and his approach is aggressive without being risky. We’ve worked with other mortgage brokers in the past, and Richard is way more than a cut above. We will be thrilled to recommend Richard to anyone who asks.

Our situation was not a simple one. Richard not only painstakingly scoured the marketplace for what I consider to be the best deal that he could put together for us, he also took the time to communicate effectively the ramifications of alternatives and the intricate details. It is a pleasure to work with somebody who enjoys his work as much as Richard does.
~Allan Grosh
We weren’t quite sure what we needed, but ten minutes with Richard made it clear. (Richard is not only quick with a calculator, he tells you up front what you can afford and how it compares to what you have.)
What impressed me most were how quickly our loan expedited and our questions answered, and the warmth with which it was done. And maybe most important, we always felt we were dealing with an honest broker.
I’d recommend the SFMortgage team without hesitation.
