Mike was available nights and weekends. He was a great resource to our first time home buyer; taking the time to explain in detail loan options and advising our client on how to reduce expenses to afford a larger home. He was confident in shortening loan contingencies and close of escrow when submitting offers and his team was able to close on time without issues.

Working with you and Andrew has been a pleasure. We appreciate your swift responses to all our questions, and your immediate availability every time we needed your help. We couldn't be happier throughout the entire process, from the start until now. We won't call this the end, and as you correctly mentioned, we will continue working with you in the future. We will proudly share our story and experience with our friends and advertise the honesty, promptness, and ultimate care you provided to us. You are truly amazing! With our outmost regards and our great appreciation for everything you did for us to make our dream come true!

It was a pleasure working with Mike and Andrew. They were professional and met all deadlines while communicating clearly the whole way. As a first time homebuyer we had a lot of questions and uncertainties but Mike was patient with us and made sure the loan process went smoothly so we could focus on the other aspects of the home purchase process. We will definitely call Mike next time we need his services.

We are so grateful for all the help you provided in our purchase of our first home. You and your team were always so responsive and helped address all issues and concerns as they arose. We so appreciate it.

Mike and Andrew were amazing! Very communicative throughout the process and always willing to jump on a call to answer any questions. They both know their stuff and are very helpful navigating the craziness of going through the mortgage process especially for the first time. I would highly recommend Mike and Andrew to anyone!

Mike is very responsive and there to answer all of your questions and mortgage insurance needs.

Mike and I just got our first-time homebuyer into a house in Berkeley that had multiple offers. Our client was pretty set on not spending over a certain amount. I called MIke and asked him to run the numbers and figure out how we could get a higher loan amount so she could get the property of her dreams In Berkeley. Mike was great, he figured it out and she was able to write the winning bid. Mike returned my phone calls immediately and responded in a very helpful way I would highly recommend him.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mike Koran to anyone in search of a mortgage lender. His professionalism, dedication and commitment to client satisfaction sets him apart from all the other ‘big bank’ and other lenders that are only transactional and don’t always have their clients best interest in mind. If you want a stress-free mortgage experience with a team that genuinely cares about your financial well-being, look no further! Mike does everything residential from purchase loans to Refinancing. Give him a call, you will not be disappointed!

Purchasing a home 3,000 miles away is certainly a daunting task but Michael Koran, Andrew Karcher, and the entire team at PRM made the entire transaction very smooth and they kept me very well informed at every step of the way. As a surprise to everyone, we were able to keep our ambitious 3-week closing schedule, (while living across the country) and this is largely thanks to Michael and his team. The swift action and prompt responses at every step of the way were next to none. Michael took the time to carefully explain to me every part of the process and even though we had a few hiccups along the way, Michael ensured that I felt heard and supported at every step of the transaction. Throughout the home-buying process there are always stressful moments, and especially in the 11th hour leading up to closing, but Michael and Andrew were always happy to take the time and they managed this interaction phenomenally. I would highly recommend Michael, Andrew and the entire PRM team to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Bay Area. I will certainly be using this team for all future real estate transactions and I could not recommend the experience more highly to anyone in my own network or anyone else in the market for lender or home-purchase.

Michael was incredibly helpful and responsive while we worked together with a client on an FHA purchase loan. No bump along the way was too much, every issue that arose was immediately resolved. I highly recommend his and PRMI's services! Incredible!

I worked with Michael on a few transactions in the last twelve months (not as a borrower but as a real estate agent sharing mutual clients). I engaged in multiple three-way conversations with him and our mutual clients. I can say that my clients so far have said only good things about him to me and I also only have good things to say about Michael. He's experienced, caring, confident, friendly, thoughtful, responsive, etc. Michael is also a great listener and knows what to say and when to say it. I really like that Michael is an excellent communicator. He is an ideal partner and I highly recommend him.

We encountered a highly intricate situation involving multiple loans, which made our case quite challenging. However, Mike and Andrew went the extra mile to assist us and ensure that purchasing our desired house was a realistic possibility. Their remarkable dedication, patience, and availability throughout the process were noteworthy. Above all, we truly felt their unwavering support as they represented us during negotiations with the sellers. Highly recommend!!

This is our 3 time using Mike and its again been a seamless experience. Our transaction was a difficult one and Mike and team led us through it with a calm and orderly manner.

If you’re in the market for a mortgage lender, look no further than Mike Koran at Primary Residential Mortgage. I recently worked with him on a home purchase for one of my clients and he was a rockstar from start to finish. Mike had great communication, keeping me and my client in the loop at all times. He was easy to reach, super friendly and most importantly, he got the job done. He made the home buying process a breeze and was a pleasure to work with.

There is a reason for these good reviews. There is only so much due diligence you can do when you are a first time homebuyer. It makes all the difference when you have someone that you can truly TRUST in your corner. After the first 30 minute consultation, I knew Mike was going to be the lender for us. There is no one size fits all situation especially when it comes to home buying, but Mike knew how to handle our situation naturally. I was hesitant about pretty much everything. Every conversation we had that followed, was broken down to our understanding. Our conversations from beginning to end Mike made sure I was a priority. He never rushed our conversations, and moved appointments around to make sure his explanations were clear. He even made time for us on a Saturday afternoon. This is important especially if you are trying to make a bid on your dream home. We finally found a property to place a bid on, but we did not want to move forward based on inspections. Mike advised us and told us to not give up. It took a lot of effort/frustration, but because of his advice of staying persistent, we were able to get the house we wanted. I mean above and BEYOND customer service!! He worked with another person on his team by the name of Andrew, and he was just as helpful, kind, and patient. If it wasn’t for Mike, we were going to take a big break on the home buying process. Mike and Andrew are wonderful and I’m very grateful we found you through yelp. There are not enough stars or thanks to express our gratitude!
