Omar is the best and most dynamic mortgage broker in San Diego. He is highly knowledgeable, honest, and responsive. He truly always keeps his client's best interest in mind and continues to advocate for them throughout the process. After 18 months of looking for a refinance with > 4 different brokerage firms, Omar was the one to finally get the job done. He was able to use his network of banks to find the right match for me to refinance my mortgage despite the HOA having outstanding repairs necessary to balconies, which had been blocking me and anyone in my community from refinancing for the past 1.5 years. He is very personable and goes above and beyond, often answering outside of typical work hours which was never expected but appreciated. We secured a great loan for myself that almost sounded too good to be true, but with no catches. When interest rates drop 1% whether it is in 1 year or 10 years, Omar will be the first person I contact!

Omar is one of the nicest men I have ever encountered. He is very respectful and is always there for me, even on weekends he will return my calls. I know I should not call him during the weekends, but he always makes everything easier on me when I am in a panic for whatever situation I am in. He makes everything 100% better. When I first got my reverse mortgage, Omar was on top of each and every detail and solved all my requests and concerns. He definitely knows how to sooth one's mind while in a panic. He always does for me. I highly recommend Omar as an advisor. Thank you, Omar you are, the best indeed. Fondly, Diane F.

We had a great experience working with Omar to purchase our first home. As first-time homebuyers, we appreciated his knowledge of the market, current rates, and the entire mortgage process. He was always available to answer our many questions, explain each step clearly, and put us at ease throughout the experience. We would recommend Omar to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and honest mortgage broker!

This was my second time working with Omar, and once again, he exceeded my expectations. I chose to work with him again because of the excellent experience I had the first time, and he continued to deliver outstanding service. From start to finish, Omar was incredibly responsive, professional, and easy to work with. Whenever I had a question, he replied quickly and always took the time to make sure I fully understood the answer. What really sets Omar apart is how well he guides his clients through the mortgage process. He clearly explained each step, kept me informed about what to expect next, and made sure I always knew where we were in the process. Buying or refinancing a home can be overwhelming, but Omar made everything feel smooth, organized, and stress-free. He was also very efficient and kept everything moving forward without unnecessary delays. I truly appreciated his patience, attention to detail, and commitment to providing exceptional customer service. It’s rare to find someone who is not only knowledgeable and efficient but also genuinely cares about making the experience as easy as possible for their clients. That’s why I came back to Omar a second time, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsive, and dedicated mortgage broker. Thank you again, Omar, for another outstanding experience!

We had an excellent experience working with Omar for our HELOAN to secure the down payment on our second home. From start to finish, he demonstrated incredible knowledge and experience in navigating the lending process. He took the time to explain every detail clearly, answered all of our questions, and made sure we fully understood our options. What truly stood out was how committed he was to acting in our best interest as borrowers. He carefully evaluated different scenarios to ensure we were making the smartest financial decision for our family. We never felt rushed or pressured — just genuinely supported. On top of his professionalism, he is friendly, approachable, and easy to communicate with, which made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We are so grateful for his guidance and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy mortgage professional!

It’s hard to describe the experience my wife and I just had with Omar. In contrast to previous accounts with “professionals“ he shined bright. The communication, consistency and patience he had for us in our situation, was an absolute breath of fresh air in a cut throat and unforgiving industry. If I could give him 10 stars I would.

Omar is an exceptional broker who truly goes above and beyond. My sister and I were previously stuck in an unfair loan and felt discouraged, thinking we wouldn’t qualify for anything better given our financial situation. Omar took the time to carefully research our options and quickly found a solution that put us in a much better position. He made the entire process clear and stress-free, walking us through every question and detail. Even after closing, he continues to check in and guide us toward our future goals. We’re extremely grateful for his support and expertise!

Working with Omar to purchase my first investment property was an absolute pleasure. The entire process was quick and painless, thanks to his professionalism and proactive approach. Omar asked for everything he needed upfront, which eliminated the usual back-and-forth and made the experience incredibly smooth. He kept us informed with timely updates and was always available to answer questions. One standout moment was when Omar flagged a property that was underinsured—his advice helped us avoid potential issues that could have surfaced down the line. That level of diligence and care truly sets him apart. If you're looking for a mortgage broker who is thorough, communicative, and genuinely invested in your success, Omar is the one. Highly recommended!

Omar was referred to me from multiple friends as a top mortgage broker, and from our first conversation, I could see why. He listened to me patiently, asked insightful questions, and took the time to explain every detail in plain language. What really impressed me was how knowledgeable he is—not just about mortgages, but the broader financial landscape. Omar’s approach is proactive, thorough, and refreshingly human as he’s genuinely invested in helping his clients succeed. I’m grateful for his guidance and would wholeheartedly recommend Omar!

Omar Michel is an amazing mortgage loan officer. When I purchased my townhome as a first time buyer, the process was smooth from start to finish, and he was always available to answer all of my many questions without hesitation. Omar took the time to walk me through my options, offering great flexibility that made the experience stress-free. He worked hard to help me secure low rates, and I genuinely felt like I was in good hands the entire time. We still keep in contact, and I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dependable mortgage professional.

I have been working with Omar since I bought my first home in 2009. He helped answer all my new homeowner questions. He was patient and responsive throughout the whole process. The reason I keep going through Omar for refinancing and new mortgages are his low rate options. He always has great advice and locks in the rate when you are comfortable. Thank you for helping me through all the years and transactions.

Working with Omar was an incredible experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was both nervous and admittedly a bit needy throughout the process. Omar and his team were patient, understanding, and incredibly supportive every step of the way. He provided me with plenty of options tailored to my needs, offering the flexibility to choose what worked best for me. His availability to answer all my questions (and there were a lot!) and his ability to find me low rates made the entire journey much less stressful. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide through the mortgage process. I’m so happy to see him running his own brokerage now, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again. Five stars all the way! This version highlights your personal experience and makes the review feel more genuine. What do you think?
