“Wow what a difference a lender makes. In these times you need someone that cares about facilitating your dreams. Getting a loan has and always will be a challenge. At least with Janice Nugent at Bank of Commerce Mortgage, you know what to expect. Her response time to all of our questions was unprecedented . Most of all I appreciated her integrity. I will never call another lender again.”
Michael K., Walnut Creek, California

”I have known Rick for close to 18 years. He is not only a close family friend , but he is a huge part of my business. I refer only Rick out to all of my clients and have never been disappointed. I have been selling real estate in the greater bay area for over 35 years. In that time I have never met or worked with a lender with such a great sense of understanding the situation at hand. He has and always will be my #1 choice for a mortgage professional. “

“I closed on a house last week with the help of Faramarz. I can't emphasize enough how helpful and critical he was to my home buying process. 

I found Faramarz less then a week before offers were due on a home I was interested in. We started the processing of loan documents immediately and in just under a week, he was able to give me loan approval (not pre-approval, full approval) - so I could remove the loan contingency from my offer and better my chances. 

As it turned out, there were five other offers on the same house - but the seller chose us, in large part due to the quick close we offered by having no loan contingency. 
I am one of those people with a ton of annoying questions, and probably was overly involved in the process - but Faramarz was 100% patient with me, always light hearted with a good sense of humor, and always available to explain anything I was confused about.
 The home buying process will never be anxiety free, but having a  great loan agent eased the stress level as much as was possible throughout the process.”

“Rick and I have worked together for 10 years. I have and always will refinance my own house through Rick. He has always put my clients’ best interests first and will always be my #1 lender.”

“The entire team at Bank of Commerce Mortgage was helpful, knowledgeable and extremely professional. Given how complicated the process has become, on a scale of 1-10, you’re a 10+.”
Jeff Y., Boulder, Colorado

“My initial discussion with Jim Bonner gave me a great sense of comfort and understanding. We had a difficult situation and other companies had shown little interest in helping us. Jim offered a variety of solutions and answered any and all questions to help us make the right decision.”
Rebecca B., Parker, Colorado “I was in a make or break situation. The loan officer I was working with at another company had run out of options, and then my Realtor told me to check with Rick Olson at Bank of Commerce Mortgage. Low and behold our transaction closed in two weeks , and my family’s dream had come true. Thanks to Rick I am now the proud owner of a beautiful home.”
Frank B., San Francisco, California

“Great customer service. I was wowed when our closing papers were ready a day early. The title company only had praise for BOCM, too.”
Rachel G., San Ramon, California

“The level of communication was perfect. I never felt ‘out of the loop’ or that I was just another file. Your team followed up with me every step of the way. I’ll be back again in the future.”
Sean P., San Francisco, California

“Of course my most important factor in seeking to refinance was to get a great rate. I never expected to receive such personal service. Who knew getting a mortgage loan today could be a pleasurable experience, and I’m saving money every month too.” 
Sheryl Z., Hayward, California 

“I work at one of the big banks and choose them to handle my transaction. After 60 days of getting no where one of my friends told me to try Rick. He not only closed our deal in 21 days, he got us a better rate than I could get at the bank I actually worked for. He was a pleasure to work with.”
Diana S., Walnut Creek, California

“The first time I met with Eric Rotner to learn about buying a home, our meeting was essentially a crash course in Home Mortgage 101. Eric took the time to explain the whole process and that’s why whenever I need real estate financing, I go back to Eric at Bank of Commerce Mortgage.”
Jan C., Alamo, California

"Rick Olson is very knowledgeable and takes the time to share his expertise, reviewing all the details from start to finish. The staff at BOCM is great."
Walter M., Walnut Creek, California

“We chose to work with Margaret O’Reilly at Bank of Commerce Mortgage after getting several referrals to work with her. The customer care was exceptional. And best of all, there were no surprises and we closed escrow on time and were able to move in over Memorial Day Weekend.”
