Last year, our company struggled finding Non-QM lenders as we had plenty of borrowers who don’t fit the profile for conforming or government loans, such as small business owners, self-employed contractors and gig economy workers who make up nearly 48% of the private workforce. Having tried to partner with several A-listed lenders on the market, we almost gave up. But one day, we were introduced to Oaktree Funding Corp. To be honest, we didn't even hold our breath. And shortly after, we couldn't even believe that our Non-QM hardship have come to an end. First and foremost, they have an easy-breezy to navigate and super user-friendly portal where you can get access to eligibility engines, run a quick scenario, get product eligibility and rate information, and then click a button to run the AUS, upload the file and get a findings report. Yes, it's that easy! Oaktree Funding team (underwriters, account executives, account managers - you name it) are expert communicators, possess tons of knowledge of all loan products, programs and guidelines and provide valuable assistance to brokers and everyone on the team. We had a tremendous pleasure working with Matt Cefalo (Oaktree Funding Corp Account Executive) and Jenny Lewis (Account Manager). They are super efficient, detail-oriented, great listeners and go into every conversation with an open mind. Those who deal with mortgages and mortgage lenders, know - it's an incredibly stressful industry and nothing is more frustrating than waiting by the phone for the super-busy lender to return a call they promised. Matt and Jenny were always there for us, frequently giving updates on the loan progress and promptly finding a great solution when a loan would come to a halt (for one reason or another). They are flexible, responsive, experienced, upfront with brokers and last, but not least, have delivered an amazing result! We are very happy that finally found a lender who can deliver to everyone's utmost satisfaction! Kudos to Oaktree Funding team, especially to Matt and Jenny for the great job done (we certainly hope for a long and fruitful cooperation!) I would highly recommend Oaktree Funding Corporation to everyone who is ready for a smooth and pleasant home-buying ride!
