If you're a first time home buyer and are feeling hesitant about taking a more modern approach to buying a home, rest assured that with Tim Paris you are in good hands. I began working with Tim Paris in the Spring of 2019. I was put in touch with Tim by searching for mortgage rates and filling out a form for quotes on Zillow, where I came across HomePlus Mortgage.
There were several occasions where my fiance and I had toured a home and found ourselves interested in exploring it further as an option but needed to get an honest assessment of whether it would work financially. During these times Tim made himself available for multiple lengthy in-depth phone conversations to discuss the possible loan options available to me, the pros & cons, and what realistically would fit in my budget. When we finally narrowed it down the 'the one', Tim was indispensable in navigating the buying process – it was a unique custom property, in need of some TLC, thorough inspections, and with a seller based abroad. This meant added complexity in communication, logistics, and planning. Throughout it all Tim Paris showed real expertise in keeping the ball moving and getting the deal done. We even switched lenders at one point and Tim made sure to minimize the delay and any complications.
He was great about working my with Redfin real estate agent, the folks at Escrow, and my State Farm insurance agent. Throughout the process Tim was quick to respond via txt, email, and phone calls. He even return a call over the weekend from one of his kid's sports games. He also maintained a good attitude and friendly demeanor despite the process dragging on longer than any of us had anticipated (factors outside of our control!), and put up with my many many questions as a first time home buyer. Finally in August 2019 I closed on my wonderful new home in Calabasas. I am grateful for Tim's help in making that happen, and I encourage you to put Tim and HomePlus Mortgage at the top of your list if you are considering purchasing a property.
