Bob is a very thoughtful, conscientious deliberate caring and most excellent financial representative. He puts his all into your file and 'owns' it and 'fights for you'. I recommend him for all your mortgage needs.

I want to give Bob Zartarian the best recommendation and compliment I can. Is he a knowledgeable loan officer - of course. Does he specialize in working with small and midsize business owners...definitely. Most loan officers go the extra mile to close your loan. Some, like Bob, do it because they enjoy helping others. However, after the loan has closed and the commisions have been disbursed most loan officers become scarce. Should you experience a hiccup in escrow, as we did, you are left to resolve those issues yourself. When we found out we had an escrow shortage over a year after closing and calls to the servicing organization fell on deaf ears, we reached out to Bob. Within 24 hours he and his team (who are NOT servicing our loan) were able to track down the error, saving us $$$$, AND advised the best steps to take for a quick resolution. Saying thank you just isn't enough. Bob IS our loan officer for life. If you want this type of service, he should be yours as well.
