"I was able to purchase my home thanks to the great and excellent support from my broker David del Real. He is such a knowledgeable and transparent agent. After trying with 2 other brokers that had made my hopes down for buying a home, David contacted me and gave me a better picture and understanding of the process. I knew since the beginning I was in good hands this time. He is definitely a reliable and trustworthy agent with good experience in this business. I would in a heartbeat recommend David to anybody that is trying to buy a home. He made it happen for me and I know he would for anyone else that is looking to make this big step in life."

"I am so thankful that David was the loan officer I got partnered with during my first time home buying process! He provided me a game plan to follow before I was ready to hit the market and when that time came we were so prepared! Escrow is no joke — it's a rollercoaster experience — and I'm glad David was my loan officer because he was there on top of his game with his transparency and excellent communication! Be sure you are 100% honest with him so he can fully help your situation to the best of his ability. Honestly I was so anxious every day during escrow, but he was so patient with me and always there to assure me. I will forever remember how he went out of his way after his long day at work to meet me at my house to do a celebration and give me my keys when we finally closed escrow on my house!"

"David was 100% transparente throughout the process and answered all questions/concerns. At first I was unsure of the process since no one I knew had gone through a mortgage lender. David really came through finally going through the process and found ways to help us each step of the way. Working with David was a blessing because it felt like he was on our side attempting to help us throughout the process. At first it felt like a normal transaction but then it felt like a trusted friend guiding us in purchasing our first home. I would definitely recommend him and his services whether it be purchasing a home or refinancing. Thank you so much David!"

"We are incredibly grateful for the support David provided during our first-time homebuying process. From our very first conversation, he was informative and attentive, making sure we understood everything. He patiently answered all our questions in detail, which truly eased our concerns as first-time buyers. After previously working with another loan officer who left us feeling discouraged, David came in and made our dream of homeownership a reality. His dedication and commitment to his work were evident, and he truly made the process as smooth as possible. We couldn't have picked a better loan officer! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares and knows how to get the job done, I highly recommend David."

"This is my 2nd time working with David the GOAT loan officer! I remember when we first got our house last year he said to do my part on strengthening my credit because he will do his part to get our interest rate down when it was time! 11 months later and here we are! David originally contacted me and said we could get our interest rate down to a 6.4% from our insane interest rate 7.625% via Streamline Refinance. A couple of days later he tells me actually today the market is letting us at 6%, but he will still keep an eye on the market to even get it lower. Honestly I was so content with a 6% and wanted to lock already. A few days later he tells me we locked in at 5.625%! I was so shocked! I'm so thankful that David helped us refinance a WHOLE 2% from 7.625 to 5.625%! I'm literally saving $740+ now on my mortgage! This process only took 2 weeks and as always he is transparent with you since he explains/updates you with everything going on. I honestly recommend that you guys check in with David about buying, selling or refinancing because this man is the best loan officer in real estate and gets the job done while getting you the best deal!"

You will not be disappointed working with him!"

"I highly recommend The Real Deal Mortgage. David guided us through the whole process and made sure he got us the best rate there is. Anytime I would call or text he would respond with no hesitation and was just overall an amazing person to work with. If you need a lender get with David!"

"The question is where I would begin with this upmost most memorable experience of my life besides meeting my lifelong partner. Let's start with the call. The first interaction with David was, for lack of better words normal for the first few minutes until he noticed how to read me and say certain words to make me smile. The experience with him has been exceptionally unforgettable where I feel that I owe him my life. I highly recommend David's skills and interpersonal skills along with confidence in connecting with his family. I wouldn't say clients because I never felt like a client, I felt like he was my brother looking out for me with advice, sincerity, devotion, and honesty with every movement he did to do what was best for me. David not only has become something I will never forget, but a friend that I truly admire and have love and respect for. For those who are looking for a home and sincere advice, guidance, or anyone to talk about anything, but most importantly your mortgage needs, David is someone I would bet my entire yearly salary for to make your dreams come true. Please choose David in every shape or form, it's his business because true quality is a diamond in the world and David is that diamond that shines from any angle in this universe. Thank you David from the Moran Family, much love and I'm happy I was blessed with the opportunity to share the same space with you."

"I just want to express my deepest gratitude to David for helping us secure our new home. Our journey to homeownership wasn't easy, and we faced multiple denials before we found him. But David never gave up on us. He was always just a phone call away, ready to answer any question we had and guide us step-by-step through the entire approval process. His dedication and hard work truly made the difference, and we wouldn't be celebrating this milestone without him. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, David. You've made our dream come true."

Thank you, David, for your exceptional service!"

The amount of expertise, knowledge and dedication David has is incredible. This loan process has been stress free, smooth and very efficient.

"I was referred to David Del Real through my realtor Kevin. David was transparent and extremely helpful in explaining everything that we didn't understand. This being our first home purchase, David showed us in black and white on what rates were at, what buy downs made sense if we went that route. Our loan was complete and ready to be funded in record time. Definitely will use his services again if we need to & will refer to friends & family. Thanks again to David & his team. We're officially homeowners!"

"We just closed on our very first home, and we couldn't have done it without David! He made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. From day one, he was transparent about the whole process, explained everything clearly, and was always available to answer any questions we had — no matter the time of day. Whenever we hit a bump in the road, David was there to guide us, explain our options, and walk us through every step. We truly felt supported from start to finish. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to work with David and would absolutely do it all over again. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and dedicated lender, we highly recommend him. Thank you, David, for helping us become first-time homeowners!"
