I actually met Brian Delbenes about a year ago at the top of the Cholla mountain biking trail in Aliso Viejo.  Unbeknownst to me at the time and as God as my witness he was a blessing from heaven.

Fast forward six months and on Sept. 3, 2011, I contacted my current lender about refinancing as interest rates were super low.  45 days later and now in middle of October my refinance was going absolutely nowhere.  So not only did my current lender not close the loan as promised, but they also wanted to charge me a higher rate and additional fees.

One day while we were riding, I displayed my anger and frustration to Brian as I explained what had transpired with my current lender.  Fearful as to not wanting to jeopardize our friendship Brian assured me of his professionalism, expertise, and encouraged me to let him take the reins so that he could work his magic!  Needless to say it was the best decision I had made and my wife still thanks me to this day!  I may have caused Brian half a dozen gray hairs, but to keep me quiet wouldn’t make me human!  In spite of all the questions, concerns, and challenges I threw his way he kept shining like a star!  He managed to get my loan processed, signed, and delivered within 30 days.  Oh… one important thing I forgot to mention was that Brian refinanced both of my properties at the same time!  All of our bills were paid through escrow and all that was left were two amazingly low 15 year fixed rate mortgages!

How can you not recommend someone like him to others!?  As a matter of fact, I have turned my niece to him and he’s diligently working with her at the time of writing this testimonial.  It is with great gratification, honesty, and friendship that I recommend Brian Delbenes and the staff of Good Neighbor Mortgage & Realty.
