The real estate indusrty has change dramatically over the last 18 months, and finding home mortgage financing is not easy....The rules have changed.

Michael is the best mortgage lender in Northern CA! He understands whats going on and can give you your best chance at putting in place a loan that is not only priced competitively, but fits your needs.
I would highly recommend talking with Mike before you make any decisions about financing. In the last 10 years Mike and his team have worked on 10-12 loans for me...

ALL of the loans were closed on time, without hassles, and I was kept up-to-date with the process. I have always been very happy with the service, the communication, and the pricing... but the best part is the speed. He can close things more quickly than any large bank and makes the entire process easy.

Michael and his team are the best at what they do and I would not hesitate to send anyone to them for their own financing needs.

Michael takes so much pride in his work that it shows from the moment of the first contact to the final closing of the home purchase. As first time home buyers, we looked at the usual commercial banks, a few mortgage brokers and luckily, landed with Michael.

Michael knows his business so well, he enjoys helping his clients to find the best loan to fit their circumstances, he is honest, and is truly a pleasure to have by your side through the oftentimes stressful process of buying a home. Michael is straightforward and clearly explains every aspect of the loan - there are no surprises! - and we knew he always held our best interest at heart.

There is no bureaucratic red tape to wade through, no unreturned phone calls or emails. Michael is simply a genuine, caring person who is also exemplary in his field. We have and will continue to refer our friends and co-workers to Michael. And when we need a loan or refinance in the future, Michael will be our first call.

I have known Michael for some time now, through my affiliation with the San Mateo County Assoc. of Realtors, and I have been very impressed, not only with his professionalism and wide breadth of knowledge in his field, by by his geniune interest in helping other people. He is truly a good person, and if you combine that with a high degree of professionalism, you have someone you want to work with! I am lucky to have him as a cleint, coworker and friend!

The Michael Haigh Team is outstanding. He has assisted me and my family with multiple purchases and refinancing. They are quick and honest. All facts are laid out from the beginning.

Time was very important to me and my family. Rather than bother us with nonsense they cut to the chase. But when I didn't understand something, they are quick to explain. And explained in plain English.

Their fees are also very reasonable and they can really give other lenders a run for their money. But even if they were neck and neck with major banks, just the fact that they can do everything so quickly and so thorough is worth going to them. If time is important to you, you should definitely give them a call or email.

I have known Mike for 30 years, we grew up together as neighbors in San Francisco. He is genuinely kind and caring and super sharp - even back in the day he was incredibly quick mentally, especially when it came to numbers.

So I was delighted when he recently did my sister's loan for her first condo - a bit daunting with so many rules and regulations but he explained things in a way we could understand, and always put us at ease. As her realtor told us 'Mike jumped through hoops for you.'

I think what impressed me most was how protective he was of her not being put at risk in any way. That was more important to him then closing a deal. I recommend him without hesitation! Mike is just awesome.

“Michael stepped in and saved a deal that was falling apart after the first lender dropped the ball. He did everything he said he would, when he said he would do it, which in this business is EVERYTHING. He was proactive, heading off problems before they became catastrophes. He worked well with my very emotional, rather difficult first-time homebuyer, and kept great communication going between all parties to the transaction, all the way to the end. I do not hesitate to give Michael my highest recommendation, and I would happily work with him again.”

“Mike and his team simply do great work. He's fast, and prompt, and has the expertise and knowledge of the industry that you'd want when looking for the best deal on a home mortgage. I'll certainly go with Mike again when I buy my second home.”

Michael offered a competitive loan with low fees and closed on our loan quickly. He took the time to explain all of our options and has a great team that makes sure the loan process goes smoothly.

Michael P. (LinkedIn)

Utilized Michael for our refinance. He offered competitive rates, provided excellent communication throughout the process, and was very reliable. And because of his tight linkage with both the underwriters and the title agency, the process closed quickly and smoothly.

We signed the final title documents in our home on a Saturday with the title company coming to us, which was service beyond what we expected for a refinance.

Strongly recommended.

Christopher G. (LinkedIn)

Michael has provided us with a couple loans for our home. More importantly, he has recommended against certain loans or refinances. Even though it was for personal home lending, I can see he is great at evaluating risk for his clients... with a personal touch. He's a very personable guy with a great team.

Good mortgage professionals are hard to find. Michael Haigh is one of those rare individuals who takes the stress out of the loan process and handles the various elements of loan approval, puts them together, amd makes sure everything is done when and how it's supposed to be done. Michael is dedicated to his chosen profession, and more importantly he is totally dedicated to his clients.

My wife and I were in the process of selling our main and vacation homes while at the same time purchasing a new home. Our FICO score was not where it needed to be to get an ideal mortgage rate. Michael worked with each of our creditors to ultimately get our FICO score where it needed to be and we ended up with a phenomenal rate for our loan. I truly do not believe any other loan officer could have provided this type of service for us.
