I recently had the pleasure of working with Jessie Yeung as my mortgage broker, and I must say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. What truly stood out to me was Jessie's exceptional ability to simplify the complex mortgage process into easy-to-understand terms without any unnecessary jargon. Her communication skills were top-notch, making it effortless for me to grasp every step of the way. Jessie's efficiency and professionalism were remarkable. She was always on top of things, ensuring that everything progressed smoothly and on schedule. Her promptness and attention to detail instilled confidence in me throughout the entire process. Thanks to her dedication and expertise, we were able to close without any issues or delays. One aspect that truly set Jessie apart was her warm and friendly approach. Working with her felt more like collaborating with a trusted friend rather than engaging in a typical business transaction. Her personable nature made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. It was evident that she genuinely cared about helping me secure the best possible mortgage solution tailored to my needs. I cannot recommend Jessie Yeung enough for anyone in search of a mortgage broker who not only simplifies the complexities of the process but also delivers results efficiently and effectively. From her clear communication to her personalized touch, Jessie exceeded my expectations in every way. If you are looking for a seamless and pleasant mortgage experience, Jessie Yeung is undoubtedly the go-to professional.

Looooong overdue review! I cannot praise Jessie at Mortgage Connection enough for her help in securing our 1st home for our family. Jessie was a wealth of information and she helped educate me and my family along the way. I think we spoke daily for almost 3 to 4 months (time taken to find a new home) it was like making a new friend but then comes the day you close : ( I am very thankful for Jessie's professional, responsive and honest assistance with the whole mortgage process from beginning to end. Jessie made herself available to me via any method of my choice - email, business phone or cell phone, which I appreciated. I am grateful for all of jessie's hard work and dedication sounds cliche I know but it really is appreciated. Thank you! Soooooooo much! Means a lot!

Working with Jessie Yeung as our mortgage broker was a fantastic experience. What really impressed us was her knack for breaking down the mortgage process into plain language, no complicated stuff. Jessie was amazing and she was on it to ensure things got done smoothly and on time. She's fast and efficient, and we closed without a hitch. What made it even better was that it didn't feel like a typical business deal. Jessie's approach is warm and friendly, like working with a trusted friend. And to top it off, she got us a fantastic rate. So, if you're looking for a mortgage broker who simplifies things, works efficiently, and ensures a timely closing, Jessie Yeung is your go-to. Highly recommended!

A great experience working with Jessie. Shopped a couple other loan officers and she was the most transparent and quick to the point. Also had the best customer service which is key. Closed in less than 14 days. I had a few other friends who were satisfied with her assistance which tells you a lot about how she does business. Definitely will be buying more homes from you! Thanks again Jessie.

It was a great experience working with Jessie at Mortgage Connection. She got me the pre-approval in less than 24 hours and we closed the loan in about 10 days. It was very efficient and she was very clear on the list of documents required, communicated timely and late in the evenings / night to make sure the close is done on time. She walked me through the loan terms / cost / documents in a detailed manner and provided very clear explanations. She gave the best rate, much better than some of the other mortgage brokers / leading banks that I checked with. All in all, it was a very good experience working with Jessie.

Mortgage Connection has been my families go to mortgage solutions center for over 18+ years. They maintain a family friendly environment that has not changed in all these years. The company is by far the most honest and professional company I have ever dealt with in the mortgage industry. They are open and transparent about the available mortgages that were suitable for our situation and they never pushed us into a product that was not in our best interest. Derek Yeung has over 25 years of experience in this field and should be commended for this consistent level of professional service. Bottom line, he wants the best product for his customers. I have witnessed this first hand and I am true believer that he is in the Top 1% in the field of refinancement and loan acquisition that can get you the most amazing product. No matter what the economy is doing, no matter the ups and downs in the real estate industry, with Mortgage Connection you will always have the best available product in the industry. Always. Without Derek's involvement in the early years, I would not have obtained my dream home. It is because of his dedicated team and professionalism, and quality loan products that got us to where we are today. Thank You Derek! and everyone at Mortgage Connection!!

I want to say a big thank you for your help in the last mortgage application process. This is definitely not the first time you help me out but I will say it was the most difficult one to get through for various reasons. And I think that is what differentiate a ordinary loan agent and a best one. The fact that you understand deeply how the lenders look at applications and you prepare in advance many documents to facilitate the process really makes the whole thing feel simple. I know you did a lot more behind the scene while I am just easily click through the docusign. Thank you very much for guiding me through this. I know I can rely on you and I am glad I did.

Pretty special situation here. I was buying a condo as an investment property in an HOA that has an owner occupancy ratio LESS than the ratio required by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. In other words, I would not be able to get a loan from your "conventional" lenders like BoA, Union Bank, etc. To most folks out there, this would've been a lost case already. However, Derek, who was leading my case, was able leverage his contacts and experience gained in the past couple decades and work out a loan at a very good interest rate. Anything is possible!
