Mike was fantastic to work with. He and his team worked with us over a holiday weekend to make sure everythig was in place for the offer we were putting in on our first home . He knew we had a very short time window to get into a house and I was 100% confident in Mike's ability to ensure our financing was secure . I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to finance a home .

It is helpful when the loan team keeps escrow updated throughout the sale process. Mike made sure to do this with both the buyers and escrow. Sale closed smoothly due in large part to Mike's efforts. Thank you so much!

I I had the pleasure of working with Mike Koran (and his associate Andrew) during a recent transaction, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! As a real estate broker in the Bay Area for the past 10 years, I’ve worked with many lenders, but Mike truly stands out for his expertise, thoroughness, and attentive client service. We just closed a deal for a buyer who is one of my dear friends who is a first-time buyer - Mike & his team made the entire process seamless and stress-free for our mutual client. From our first initial phone conversation to closing day, Mike was always available to answer questions, provide timely updates, and offer valuable lending insight. His intimate knowledge of the market is impressive, and he worked diligently to find the best financing options for our client. What I appreciated the most was Mike's genuine care for his clients. He took the time to ensure that my friend's needs were fully met and that all of his questions were answered. It is evident that Mike is passionate about helping people achieve their homeownership dreams - especially in the competitive San Francisco Bay Area real estate market. Thank you, Mike & Andrew for your outstanding service, dedication, and support!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike Koran from Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. on a duplex loan, and I am glad to share my exceptional experience. From the beginning, Mike demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that is truly commendable. He took on a loan for a challenging property that had been vacant for decades. Throughout the process, Mike went above and beyond to ensure that the funding was secured promptly and efficiently. His deep understanding of the lending landscape and ability to navigate complex financial scenarios was evident, providing me and the listing agent with confidence. What truly sets Mike apart is his proactive communication and personalized approach. He took the time to understand my client's needs and was patient enough to work at the borrower's pace. Mike was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making the process seamless. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike Koran and Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. to anyone needing a reliable and exceptional lending partner, especially for properties that do not qualify for traditional financing. His expertise and commitment to client success make them stand out in the industry.
