Testimonials



Thank you Rick.  This was the most painless refinancing I’ve ever experienced. Many thanks to you and Channa for the excellent customer service.
     Eleanor Brewer, Homeowner, Orange


Rick is authentic in his approach to helping clients with their mortgage needs. I value and trust his opinion.
     Cheryl L. Lee, Realtor, Wailea, Hawaii


I am signing my escrow papers for the refinance Rick helped us secure on our property.  Again, he and his team have made the process easy and transparent.  We have a great rate and couldn't be happier with our experiences with RTC Mortgage.  
     Nicole Anderson, Esq. Anderson Law Group, Inc, Laguna Beach




Rick Cirelli handled the refinance on our home and came up with a creative option for us, which resulted in cutting our mortgage payments by one-third.
     Kelly & Michelle Boyd, former Mayor and Councilman of Laguna Beach




Rick Cirelli is exceptional in his knowledge and ability to meet his customers financing needs, whether buying a new house or refinancing. As Realtors, my wife and I have been fortunate to have Rick take care of the loans on many transactions, always with great results and happy clients. 

However, this time it was our turn… We recently found our “dream home” in another state, but would prefer to also keep our current home in coastal OC. Rick came up with an amazing lender with a financing package that afforded us the opportunity to make it all happen. Simply amazing!!!

****Credit should also be given to Channa Lee. She does all the loan transaction processing better than anyone I’ve seen in the last 35 years in the real estate business. She works amazingly well with lenders, underwriters, prepares all the paperwork, disclosures and keeps it all running smoothly.

We highly recommend them. They are seasoned financial professionals with connections to great lenders and loan programs at the best interest rates available, that you will not find elsewhere.

     Andy Alison, Laguna Beach Realtor & Homeowner




My experience with Rick Cirelli has always been at the highest levels of professionalism and integrity. Clients that I have referred have been very satisfied with the service and my own personal interactions with him have always exceeded expectations.

     Jeff Redeker, Laguna Beach Homeowner





Rick has been in the lending industry for decades and is incredibly knowledgeable. Additionally, he is involved in the fabric of the community in almost every regard. One would be hard pressed to find a smarter, better-informed and more honest professional.

     Dave Csira, Laguna Beach Realtor





You and your Team definitely made this stressful/nervous experience a smooth one. Thank you for providing us with personalized service and for being available for us to answer our ‘million’ questions. We’ll definitely recommend our friends and family to use your services.

     Diana & Dario Villalosos, Santa Ana Homebuyers





Rick and his team are by far the best Mortgage broker we have ever used. Over the past 20 years we have refinanced several times continuing to reduce our payments with lower interest rates. Rick is on top of contacting us when something better comes along. He is easy to get a hold of and gets back to us immediately when we contact him. Thanks Rick for always doing your best work for us.

     Cheryl & Ralph Rogers, Aliso Viejo Homeowners





Rick, nice job on the mortgage. It was a great experience for us. We will be around the summer and will definitely call and stop by your office. Thanks for all you and Channa did for us. See you this summer.

     Paul Greif, Laguna Beach Homebuyer





Thank you for helping us through the maze of papers and questions necessary in order to receive a new reverse mortgage. It was, with you, an easy process and we’ll be happy to recommend you to others.

     Rose & Chuck McClelland, Laguna Beach Homeowners



 


Thanks for the great work. Not a single mistake, hitch or flaw in the whole process. Sometimes when you have nothing wrong in a deal like this you mistakenly think it was because it was easy and anyone could have done it. I feel it is because you are great at what you do. On behalf of myself and my family, thank you.

     Scott Thompson, Laguna Beach Homebuyer

Bob & Marge Earl, Laguna Beach Homeowners




As a real estate professional, I am constantly asked for service referrals and as a lender, Rick Cirelli has always provided my clients with outstanding service.  Being an independent Broker gives Rick far more flexibility than many institutional lenders and quite often he has been able to secure a much better rate and terms for my clients.  Rick was also the lender my partners and I choice to help finance our home.
