**Outstanding Mortgage Broker in LA!**
I have had the pleasure of working with Lara Donigian several times and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. Lara Donigian is licensed in CA. From the very first loan to the most recent one, she was highly professional, knowledgeable, and approachable. Lara took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the process, ensuring I was always informed and comfortable with my decisions.
Lara’s communication is exceptional, always responding quickly to any questions I had, no matter how small. She went above and beyond to find the best rates and options tailored to my needs, saving me both time and money. What really stood out was the personal touch — Lara Donigian genuinely cared about my financial well-being and made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Especially since my income stream is complicated.
I would highly recommend Lara Donigian to anyone in need of a loan. Her dedication, expertise, and customer-first approach are truly unmatched. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Lara’s attention to detail is phenomenal. I am very picky, and I had a very unique situation. Yet Lara was able to match me with the right loan and we closed last Friday. I would not hesitate for one second recommending Lara to you. She is a consummate professional, and also incredibly nice.
Lara was consistently available and attentive throughout our four month search of finding the perfect home. We had a complicated situation with having to sell our current house and close on the same day on the new house. We also have intricate income scenarios due to being self employed. She took on the challenge and went above and beyond to make sure that our loan closed on time. I would highly recommend Lara based on her professionalism, responsiveness, and persistence. She really achieved the impossible for us, getting our loan closed in only 11 days!
Hi, This is the second time we used Lara to refinance our home. The first time was to remove the $700 PMI on our loan and the second was to take out a heloc on our home to pay off debt. Both times were under a tight timelines due to changing jobs, moving, savings diminishing. Lara came through both times flawlessly. I had so many questions and she throughly answered all of them – at all hours day! It can be such a stressful process but both times we felt like we were in the best hands. This last time around we paid off all of our credit card debt and not only did we not pay out of pocket, she reduced the fees by 50% and we received $6k back. It helped take the pressure off us tremendously. We cannot thank Lara enough!
My family and I have been using Lara’s services for years. She is more than a mortgage banker to us. She is a financial advisor and is always helpful even if we aren’t going through a mortgage loan and just have questions. She just closed a difficult loan for me personally. Lara is professional and gets the job done. She knows her products and always takes care of me. She is always up to date on the constant changes happening in the mortgage world. I am grateful to have found her and would recommend her to anyone that is looking to refinance or purchase a property.
Lara helped us get into our new home. She really pulled a rabbit out of a hat. She was on top of everything and made sure we got our approval. Lara goes the extra mile. Even when we thought we wouldn’t get approved she continued to work with underwriters to be sure they saw the whole picute. Needless to day I would recommend her to anyone and also use her again.
I have used Lara Donigian twice for a home loan, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. I initially used her for a loan in 2012, and I was so impressed with her work ethics, and her approach. She made the process seem effortless and easy. I had tried applying for a loan with another loan agent in the past, and it was a lengthy, stressful and difficult process, and I was hesitant with the loan process. Several months after my initial attempt, Lara came in the picture and made the loan process so easy and fast. I was so pleased with her services that I used her again several years later for a second home. Lara Donigian is professional, kind, responsive, reliable, and patient. She will help you understand the process every step of the way, and it doesn’t feel overwhelming. I highly recommend Lara Donigian!!!
I wish I had more than 5 stars to give. I want to start out by personally thanking Lara Donigian If your looking for someone who knows what there doing Lara Donigian is definitely the person to go to! She is seriously so amazing. She made the process of refinancing so smooth!! . Best decision of our lives ! Like I said she knows what’s she’s doing and gets it done fast with no errors. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER ! Words will never fully describe how great she is just call her and get the process started your search is over.
We live in Texas and we made the decision to buy a second home in Los Angeles California. We also made this decision during the middle of the global pandemic which added to the challenges because everything needed to be done remote. Our local LA realtors connected us up with Lara Donigian as our mortgage consultant and what an incredible decision that turned out to be. Lara and her team were incredibly attentive to our needs, responsive throughout the entire process and with an attention to detail that we have never experienced before. Despite this being a remote transaction and being done during some challenging times, the process was executed flawlessly and the terms that we settled on were even better than we had hoped for. Lara even helped us with sourcing an insurance broker! 5+ star service for sure!
