Rick's Reviews
We survey everyone who has submitted a loan application with this lender, whether the loan closed or not.
Rick did an excellent job of being personal and tailoring the loan process to me as an individual. I appreciate how he made sure I understood all parts of the loan and had the information I needed to make decisions that made sense for me.
Rick at Axia was the perfect partner for our mortgage process. We interviewed several loan officers including credit unions and local banks, ultimately deciding Rick was the best choice for us. He spent a ton of time educating us about the mortgage process (as first time buyers) and walking through scenarios on every offer we needed to consider a variety of scenarios with. He and his team were diligent about keeping everyone involved in the transaction informed of progress every step of the way and making sure we were providing all of the needed documentation. Plus he managed to close our loan (technically 2 loans) EARLY! We had the keys to our house less than 30 days after mutual acceptance, which is insane given how busy the market is and that we were dealing with two loans. We can't thank Rick enough for all of his help and partnership throughout this process.
Rick was excellent to work with. He helped explain the mortgage documents every step of the way so I could make an informed decision on my mortgage. He was extremely responsive, friendly and helped move my closing date forward.
Rick was fantastic to work with and I would recommend him to anyone! Prior to working with Rick, I was nearly closed on a condo that I was financing through a credit union and a week before getting the keys they backed out. When I got back into the search, Rick was recommended to me as an alternative to going through the "big banks" and I am SO happy with the outcome. Working with Rick and his team was extremely painless, he gave me several options to see different ways I could set up my mortgage and how the different structures would affect me immediately, as well as in the short term and long term. Once I got an offer accepted, Rick was in touch every step of the way and made sure to answer any questions I had and continued to put me at ease. I never once felt worried or unsure about the process and looked forward to calls or emails from Rick and his team. I would recommend Rick to anybody looking to finance a home. I can't imagine the process being any easier than it was with his team. Professional, great communicators and so friendly! THANK YOU RICK!
Rick helped us navigate what ended up being an unusual purchase (ended up taking 522 days to close). He was clear and communicative the whole way, thoroughly explaining every step along the way. The interface he used to gather and complete documentation was very user friendly and helped us keep organized
Rick was extremely thorough, and super knowledgable on all matters! We ended up with a good loan at a great rate!! His team was super professional as well. Thank you Rick!!
Rich was great to work with. He was patient in making sure we understood everything and used creative means (a video of him explaining the product and numbers) to help when we could not meet in person. He really went to bat for us to get us the best deal.
Rick and his team made the loan process easy and provided us with great customer service in the entire process. We knew they were happy for us to find our new home.

Rick and his team was amazing. We found him through a Redfin mortgage class and felt he would be a great fit for us being first time home buyers. We had a lot of newbie questions and Rick always had an answer at a level we could understand. Mortgage loans and purchasing a home are such a complex process and we didn't want to feel like we were rushed through anything without fully understanding what it meant. He was always available by phone or email and everything from paperwork to checking in with our agent was very prompt! We loved working with Rick and would highly recommend him!
We genuinely felt that Rick had our best interests at heart - in particular, the time and effort Rick put into putting together different mortgage options, including recording video messages describing the different options, was much appreciated. Rick - and his team's approach - is to perform as much document collection and submission as early as possible, to prevent surprises later - this really pays off with a smooth finance process. Rick kept us informed through the entire process, and even attended the document signing appointment, making himself available to answer any last minute questions we may have had.
Rick was amazing to work with and I couldn't imagine working with anyone better. Was always available and very willing to answer questions. He has a great support staff and I would highly recommend his service if you are thinking about buying a home.
Rick was great to work with. He provided information and guidance along the entire process which was super valuable being a 1st time home buyer. The selling agent for this home proved to be rather difficult to work with but Rick and his staff worked hard to make sure we still closed on time.

Rick and his assistant Steve Santi worked seamlessly as a team to lead us through the process. My least favorite thing about buying a home is the amount of information is required at the last minute by underwriters and others. Thanks to Rick and Steve these last minute surprises were not significant. Oh, I should also mention that we signed final documents 4 days ahead of their original projection. Thanks Rick and Steve
I can't say enough good things about Rick. He was the glue that held this whole deal together. Very knowledgeable, top notch professionalism and communication was second to none. I would recommend Rick to anyone looking to finance a home.
Rick was awesome to work with. He provided incredible direction for each step of the purchasing and finance process of buying this home. He also took the time to make sure we understood each step and gave valuable feedback when asked his opinion. He is respectful and professional and I would definitely recommend him to a friend.
Rick is very professional and helpful. He guided us through the whole pre-approval and buying process. We are first time home buyers, and just started our first job in U.S. with very short credit history. Rick was very patient and explained everything clearly. I definitely recommend to work with him!
