It was great working with Brian. He helped me so much and was able to answer all my questions. And I had a LOT of questions. He never made it seem like a bother. He's very knowledgeable and always took the time to keep me informed and updated at every stage of our home buying experience. I'm sure there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes and he made sure that we had all the paperwork and everything we needed ahead of time to make our purchase go through without a hitch.
Brian & his entire team are absolutely unbelievable! There wasn't any stress or anxiety on my part due to their consistent communications. The entire team made a commitment to have me close within a certain timeframe and they exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend this team!
Brian was incredibly helpful throughout the loan process, and he always made time to thoroughly answer all questions. We are first-time homebuyers, and Brian (and team) made it seem a lot less daunting. Thank you!

Your team was very responsive, attentive, professional and above all very helpful in making sure the transaction closed smoothly. Team were always there to Assist and address any questions or concerns we had and that made the whole process less stressful for us. Thank you!
We were referred to Bay Equity because we were on a tight timeline, and the company was 'partnered with Redfin'. Brian was attentive and answered our questions promptly on many occasions. However, we rated our experience three stars because after the purchase, we didn't receive any emails about setting up our first month's payment. Given that Bay Equity had ALL our personal information for the loan approval and then some, we were surprised to have to 1. set up an account in the portal, 2. link our bank details, and go through multi-step verification. This seemed redundant, as our previous loan company had everything set up and ready for payments.

Brian was very communicative to work with as we went through our pre-approval and application process for our loan. His team answered any questions we had, returned phones in a timely fashion, and they made the whole experience go smoothly.
Brian was supportive every step of the way in our home purchase process and even spent time with the sellers agent to confirm our financial position. I believe that call made a difference with the seller. We are grateful for Brian and team and their assistance through the process.

Brian was wonderful through my whole process. Every step of the way he made it possible. If I had to do it again I would definitely pick Brian and his team.
It was a wonderful experience having Brian and his team working for and with us every step of the way through our home buying quest. Everything was thoroughly explained and we felt comfortable contacting them at any time with questions. The care and attention to every detail was appreciated as was their anticipation to our needs.
Brain and Bay Equity were amazing through the home buying experience. They made the process seamless and organized eliminating stress in what can be a stressful time. I would 100 percent return as a a customer and refer Brian to anyone looking for a home loan.
Brian was always available for assistance in spite of him having family emergency he was ready to help me in all terms.
That makes him great mortgage officer who will not let down any of his clients.
I was working with Mr. Brian Nevins for a real estate purchase. He was quick to answer, extremely knowledgeable, meticulous for the details, and timely.
Mr. Nevins handled my case very well. He went above and beyond and saved me a lot in the deal. Also, he ensured that I understood every detail about the process and what is coming in the future. He was extremely knowledgeable about the expenses down the road and what might happen at the closing in terms of the costs. He is someone you can trust and learn from his wise advice. He is definitely someone you wish to have on your side for a purchase.
The whole process was a breeze thanks to his involvement. I was fortunate to have him, and I definitely will reach out to him for my future needs.
Brian is an excellent lender who is very knowledgeable! He was wonderful to work with and explains to you the process. I felt very comfortable and happy working with Brian as he goes out of his way for his clients. He is the best
My financial picture is very complex, and Brian handled the entire process from start to finish with ease! Made my life very easy, got a great rate, another satisfied customer!
We started our search with a preapproval from another lender and later decided that it just made sense to go with Redfin. Now that we have closed, I think, Redfin got it done for less at the best possible rate. Absolutely thrilled with our Redfin experience.
Although I did not deal directly with Brian T. Nevins, the team that did handle our loan at Redfin Mortgage was and easy to work with and on our side. Thank you for your expertise and making it possible to close within 36 days. Well done.

I wished they had use basic vocabulary to explain the entire loan process.
Brian was great and made the process easy. I wish Redfin would not sell the the mortgage so quickly. A little confusing/annoying to immediately deal with a new servicer :(

They were e,cellent!! Seamless, trouble-free, professional service.
Brian was easy to work with and very helpful while explaining the complicated process of securing our first home loan. He and his team were easy to reach and always prompt with their replies to our many questions. Highly recommend his support.
Working with Brian and his team was so easy. They did my loan in less than 21 days and that was their promise. The CTC estimate and the final were just a few $ difference, that's how accurate they are. Great team work.
Brian was awesome. I honestly never thought I would use that sentence with a mortgage broker. But he was right there helping us meet our super tight closing deadlines. He also offered excellent advice to aid us in closing even faster then we thought possible. Excellent job Brian!
