    My husband and I have purchased homes in multiple states over the years but can say without a doubt that every aspect of our experience with Chase throughout this process was EXTRORDINARY!
    Starting with our Private Client Banker, Mehvish Khan at the La Jolla Branch of Chase Bank.
    We established a relationship with her when we opened our Chase account approximately three years ago.
    Mehvish recommended Stan Malad, when we made the decision that we were ready to purchase our first home in California. The two of them together were a "Dream Team".
    Stan very patiently walked us through the process, answered all of our questions, and followed up on a routine basis regarding industry data, and the climate in general for the mortgage industry. When we finally made a decision to pull the trigger and start the Application Process, Stan was there at every step, confidently providing and sharing multiple strategies and optional considerations for making the deal work, and always with a smile that we could sense through the phone. He was patient, reassuring, and ALWAYS educating us. He was always available whenever we had a question (day, night, or weekends). As the process unfolded, he introduced us to his Assistant, Pam Sortor. She was equally efficient, responsive and thorough in her communications and request for follow up documentation. As transactions with title company were needed, Stan, Pam and the rest of his team made it possible for us to close in 13 days (a day earlier than expected) which allowed us to have a leg up on our competitors; 3 other all cash offers) when we made our offer, which included a quick close. Mehvish stepped back into the picture to personally assist us with wire transfers and all of the financial documentation needed to finalize the transaction. We finally met Stan at Closing for the first time and were as excited to meet him as we were to purchase our home. Even before Closing, we had had already recommended them both (Stan & Mehvish) to a friend and would not hesitate to use their services in the future. We consider them both so much more than business associates now. They are lifelong friends that we will always do business with going forward.

    Stan Melad and Pam Sortor were an amazing team to work with. I got in touch with Stan less than two weeks before escrow was supposed to close because our original lender wasn't able to clear our loans. Stan pulled our loan through in less than 10 days which was so amazing in and of itself, not even comparing to our other experience. Stan went out of his way to help us even outside of working hours and I felt like I could rely on him to respond quickly and give me honest insights and feedback during the whole process. He made me feel like I was his most important client and it was truly a pleasant process. This was my first home purchase and my only regret is not finding them earlier in our escrow.

    The help, care, and patience we received from Stan Melad, Pam Sortor, and the Tech staff was amazing. Their support made a huge difference in the loan process and the loan approval. Thank you all for what you did for us! We wish the same experience for the new customers who apply for getting a loan with Chase.

    I lead teams of technologist that strive to provide high quality "white-glove" service to our customers. From the first engagement with the Chase team all the way through to close the partnership, urgency and service was excellent. This is a model that will influence the bar for my teams going forward and my expectation of home lending services in the future. Thank you for the positive experience.

    Stan Melad, our Chase loan guy, is fabulous. Not so much Chase the brand. Stan's approach and service was just outstanding. We could quit Chase for many reasons but the experience with Stan kept us in the bank for a while more.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is it time to stop renting and buy a home?
When debating between renting vs. buying, you need to think about your lifestyle and finances. While renting can provide more flexibility, owning a home enables you to build equity in the property and may provide tax benefits.

Buying a home is a huge step, especially when you’re moving from renting to owning.
How can I get information on mortgage loan options?
At Chase, you can choose from several types of mortgage loans to finance your home purchase. A Home Lending Advisor can help you understand the differences between the various loan options so you find one that best suits your financial situation.
Once you understand what you want out of a home, determining your housing budget is essential. After determining a loose housing budget, you'll need to decide how much you'll be comfortable paying each month. Your real estate agent will help you find the right home based on all of these factors. Looking for more information? Read our guide on “How to Find the Perfect Home!”
What documents will I need to apply for a mortgage?
Traditional loans usually require documents that verify your employment, income and assets, and may include:
• Your Social Security number
• Pay stubs for the last two months
• W-2 forms for the past two years
• Bank statements for the past two or three months
• One to two years of federal tax returns
• A signed contract of sale (if you've already chosen your new home)
• Information on current debt, including car loans, student loans and credit cards
What is better: a fixed or an adjustable interest rate?
If you plan to be in your home for more than seven years, you may want to consider a fixed-rate mortgage, which offers predictable payments and long-term protection against rising mortgage interest rates. If you plan to be in your home for seven years or less, an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) could be attractive. Keep in mind that with an ARM, your monthly payments have the potential to go up each time your interest rate adjusts.
