Thomas (Tom Tom) is truly in a league of his own! He is extraordinarily sharp, analytical, precise, and thorough. What most agents take days to grasp, Thomas understood and acted on within an hour.

While we’ve purchased homes before, navigating the California market was entirely new for us—and without Thomas, we could never have secured our first home here. His complex expertise and multipurpose support were invaluable every step of the way.

What stood out most was how quickly we developed a strong bond with him. He attuned so effortlessly to what we needed, providing a level of understanding and reassurance that made us feel secure throughout this process.

Even now, we still reach out to him for guidance, and he’s always ready to help. Thomas is truly the all-in-one real estate package, and we are forever grateful for his outstanding work.

Thomas and his team were beyond phenomenal. We were first time home buyer and Thomas was extremely patient with us and helped up navigate the sometimes daunting task of buying a home. Thomas was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer all of our questions. His rates were far better than any other lender we talked with. We live in a very competitive housing market and had to put in several offers many of which were on short notice. Thomas was always willing and able to assist. When we finally did close on a house the builder attempted to charge us thousands of dollars for closing escrow late. Fortunately Thomas can to the rescue and advocated for us so were were able to avoid these fees. We would recommend Thomas a thousand times over.

It was a blessing from above that I got a chance to have Thomas and the team handle my loan process, it was smooth and hassle free. Thomas guided me in every steps of the loan, provided me multiple options and secured the best interest to meet my financial status. I highly recommend this company and Mr. Thomas as my lender.

First time home buyer. Thomas got us the best rate that I could find, and he was also our realtor. When I called another lender and explained we were going to pass on them, they wondered how it was possible Thomas got us such a low rate. The process was pretty easy, too. I got Thomas the documentation he needed, he asked specific follow up questions, and we were set with the paperwork. As far as mortgage applications go, pretty painless. Mortgage application was approved on time and issued at close.

I couldn’t be happier with how Thomas and Jaclene handled the leasing of our property. They secured a tenant quickly at the price we wanted and made the whole process so easy. Communication was great, and I always felt informed and confident that things were being handled properly. I highly recommend them and would definitely work with them again!

We were referred to Thomas from by our Real Estate agent as we needed to have a quick approval, and ultimately to complete the loan. Thomas did not disappoint. This was our fifth experience with a loan officer (3 previous home loans and 1 previous home refi), and by far, Thomas was the best to work with. He kept us apprised at every step, even took time out of his vacation to answer our questions, and patiently explained the next few steps. It definitely helps that he is the CEO of his company and that he is also a real estate broker. His expertise and insight were invaluable and reduce much of the stress associated with the loan process. If we were ever to get a loan again, we would definitely go with Thomas.

I recently moved into my new home after a lot of jumping through hoops to secure the mortgage. Finally able to relax, I began watching the Netflix series “Suits.” Thomas dell’Aria is somewhere between Harvey Specter and Mike Ross, mixed with Louis Litt. He can handle any range of complexities with a calm disposition and reliable assurance. Thomas is loyal and dedicated to helping his clients to a level that surpasses what anyone else is willing to do. It’s his passion and his service to homebuyers. His understanding of complex financial situations and the pulse of mortgage approval requirements can turn a buyer’s desire to quit into a conviction that Thomas will deliver—which he did. Not only did he NOT give up on me when multiple complications came up, he helped me not give up on myself. Thanks Thomas!
