Extremely satisfied with mr. Hooks service in finding a finance solution for this odd/unique property. Steve and finance team was able to meet my goal with a refinance with creativity and great customer service. He made me feel comfortable through the entire process. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Steve again.
Wow Steve was amazing. He got us multiple loan options and his response time was excellent. Fast forward we sold the property and needed some help with the lender. Steven jumped in again, without hesitation, and we were able to work out the lender issue and close the escrow. Steve is a great resource and he is always happy to offer input and advice.
My situation was a challenging one but Steven's attention to detail and ability to respond to clients promptly made it a joy to work with him. He organizational skills made it hard to miss a beat. Every interaction with him made me feel like I was his only client. Thanks to him, I am officially a homeowner!
Attentive, effective, and achieves superior results. Great reputation with lenders and borrowers alike.
Steven Hook is aces! My husband and I cannot say more about his assistance and services. Steven supported us and held our hand through the whole process of acquiring a loan to upgrade our family home. Without him we would’ve been lost.

We appreciate him very much and would recommend his services highly to anybody looking for a quality loan assistance

My partner and I had the best experience with Steve Hook with our recent purchase of the house we are currently living. It was a twisty curvy road and Steve found the coolest opportunity for our loan with no W-2s needed. This was going to be the only way we, as artists, would be able to purchase a home in California! We are so grateful we found Steve and recommend him to all of our friends and family! He truly is one of the best in the real estate business!!!
Steven Hook was great at walking us through every part of getting us our loan to buy out my past partner and add a new one. A unique situation but he made it work for all of us. Very happy with Steven’s results. Highly recommended.
Steven went above and beyond to help me achieve my dream ! He did a great job finding the right fit for me and I could not be happier with the result. I will definitely call upon Steven for any future mortgage needs and I highly recommend him because of his dependability. Most importantly, I could always reach him with any questions I had and he constantly kept me advised of what was happening with my mortgage loan. Great job, Steven!

Absolutely the best broker with such a vast array of loan options you can't go wrong. Steven will "Hook" you up!
Steven and his team are thorough and thoughtful... my wife and I have worked with him on home purchase and refinancing projects and have always been happy with both the outcome as well as the process. We would work with him again, no question.
Steven is fantastic. He is highly attentive and very personable. Always having time for his clients and you never feel like your taking up his time. Cannot recommend enough!
Steven was very prompt and fair in brokering a commercial loan for my rental properties in the East Bay. I would not hesitate in seeking out his expertise and services the next time around.
Steven (aka The Hook) Is the best mortgage broker I’ve ever worked with. He’s extremely responsive, patient and explains everything. He has always gotten me the best rates and made the process seamless. He possesses extensive knowledge on mortgages and refinancing and he works well with both first time and experienced buyers. I would highly recommend Steven for any mortgage transactions or refinancing.
Steve found the best offer for us out of all my different quotes. I had quotes from quicken loans, redwood credit union, sofi, and better. Steve topped them all. This speaks volumes to his knowledge of the business and commitment to serving his customers. He was super fast to respond, always available, and super responsible. Really appreciate his help buying our first home in the Bay Area.
We were in an extremely competitive home buying situation, and Steve was instrumental in both getting our offer accepted (via reputation and connections in the biz) and getting us through to closing -- one of the most nerve-racking experience my husband and I have ever had! We cannot imagine going through that process without a mortgage broker, and we could not have asked for a better broker than Steve. He was incredibly responsive -- available to talk on the phone when needed and answering all of our email questions with care and detail, typically within minutes or hours. He's a real pro and a super nice guy to boot! We are grateful for Steve's expertise and guidance and would highly recommend him to guide you through the process of securing a home loan that suits your situation and needs.
Steven Hook went above and beyond the call of duty as my broker, as a First Time Home Buyer. He was always available, even evenings and weekends, and very responsive with time sensitive, detailed and accurate information. Both Steve and his team delivered top notch service and representation, which I am forever thankful for, assisting me in navigating the complicated and sometimes overwhelming process of purchasing a home. He ensured that I got the best and lowest loan rate locked in and an amazing down payment assistance program, that all in the business said it was the best they had ever seen.
I was the first time home buyer and in need of an approval letter and a lowest interest loan. I contacted Steve and provided all required docs. Thanks to Steve and his team who are so experienced and very on top of everything. They got all the paperwork done for me very quickly.
Steve is great to work with! Amazing knowledge of his job, and very personable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Steve Hook helped my wife and I buy a condo in Oakland in early 2013. Prior to engaging Steve we’d spoken with some other brokers who were not excited about our application. We’d recently moved to the U.S., and with one modest income, and pretty minimal work experience, we were not ideal candidates. Nevertheless, the loan process was incredibly smooth. Steve was the first person we called for recommendations when we started looking in NYC.
