Greg Desmé Real Estate Mortgage Broker - Bakersfield, California

Melissa M.

You'll never find a mortgage broker with more integrity than Greg Desme. A lot of brokers seem focused on their commission or the bottom line, but Greg is different. He truly treats his clients like family and cares more about helping you than what he gets out of it.

As a single woman, what impressed me most was how Greg insisted on finding me a neighborhood where he'd feel comfortable having his own sisters live. Being a Godly man, I knew he wouldn't lead me astray, which meant everything to me, and I wasn't an easy client by any means! I had a very set budget to work with after my divorce, and Greg patiently helped me search for my perfect home for three years. Having previously been a general contractor who built my own home, I was incredibly picky about construction quality and wanted Southern touches like a proper porch, and Greg understood all of this.

He made sure every detail of my mortgage was handled perfectly, shopped for the best financing rates, and guided me through each paperwork process with ease. He told me exactly what I needed to qualify well in advance and dialed everything in to get me the best possible deal for my limited funds. I ended up with a sweet 3% mortgage thanks to his thoroughness! I can't recommend Greg enough!

My brother and I really wanted a trustworthy Realtor to sell our family home after losing our father. A friend who'd recently sold her house highly recommended Greg, and now I understand why! The experience felt more like working with family than just another transaction because of his compassionate and genuine approach.

Greg was incredibly prompt and efficient - we had property showings before the open house and secured an offer within a week of listing. The way he managed to be a dual agent was what truly amazed me. He represented both us and the buyer with complete fairness, keeping the interests separate while negotiating effectively for both parties.

His approach wasn't pushy at all; instead, he focused on getting what we needed done while being genuinely understanding of our situation. I couldn't have asked for a smoother transaction! If you're looking for a real estate agent who truly cares about you and will treat you like family, Greg's the best Realtor for you!

Greg is my local go-to mortgage broker for the past 6 years! As a Realtor, I appreciate Greg's professional approach to communication – he always picks up the phone and returns messages promptly whether they are clients, service providers, friends and family. What truly sets him apart are his straightforward and honest business practices - never trying to
"fit a square peg in a round hole," making the mortgage lending process easier to deal with.

Greg's professionalism is unmatched – always ready to go above and beyond in his services across all buyer and seller demographics. His dependability and mortgage expertise has him handling home loans including my son's first home, my friends' and family's refinances, and countless transactions for my clients.

When you work with Greg, you get someone who consistently goes the extra mile... or two. As a retired clinical psychologist and a busy licensed real estate agent, having someone to trust implicitly in this business is deeply important to me.

When it comes to home loans and mortgages, Greg Desme is the only place I go. After working with him on 7 mortgage refinances and 2 home purchases over the last 30 years, I can confidently say that Greg is the most efficient and cost-effective mortgage broker in Bakersfield.

I've known Greg for 40 years, and what stands out is how he takes the stress load off the client's back. You need a trusted professional for the single biggest purchase you're going to make - there's simply no room for error. Trust and confidence define Greg perfectly. He's sharp, shrewd, and consistently finds great mortgage loans. His fees are in line with discount mortgage lenders, but you get incredible service without the complexities and runaround from giant banks. It's a combination rarely found in the mortgage industry.

I manage four rental properties plus two other homes, and Greg handles everything mortgage-related for all of them. I just called him last week about a potential second mortgage on one of our properties - that's how much I rely on his expertise. For anyone looking for a mortgage broker in Bakersfield who delivers both value and outstanding service, Greg is unquestionably the best choice.

Greg has been my go-to mortgage guy for over 30 years, always looking out for my best interests. His straightforward, honest approach truly sets him apart. Everything with Greg is transparent - what you see is what you get. That’s why I’ve referred so many friends to him over the years; when you find someone this conscientious, you want to connect good people with other good people.

He's helped me secure FHA and Conventional loans across 3 different homes. The most recent one saved me $42,000 and it was all thanks to Greg making me aware about a special Wells Fargo rate reduction. I never would have known about it otherwise. Greg is a remarkable mortgage broker to know in Bakersfield, consistently proving himself to be on top of the market. His proactive approach and deep industry knowledge have made all the difference in my mortgage needs. If you’re buying or refinancing in Bakersfield, there's no better guy to call.

We've worked with Greg as our trusted mortgage broker since the late 1980s – four transactions in total, from our first home purchase at 13.78% interest to our most recent mortgage refinance. What I appreciate most is that he's not like a pushy car salesman making promises he can't deliver. He's just honest and personable, which is exactly what you want in a mortgage expert.

Through all our home purchases and refinances, Greg has made the process smooth and kept us informed every step of the way. He even reaches out when interest rates drop to let us know it might benefit us to refinance our mortgage for lower monthly payments or better rates. The process has evolved from all-paper meetings in the 80s to convenient online mortgage transactions today, but his level of service has stayed consistent.

When you find someone who is trustworthy and understands how you operate, you stick with them. That's why we keep coming back to Greg and recommending him to others - he just makes things easier!

There's nothing scary about dealing with Greg – he makes the whole real estate process a very easy experience. Having known him for years and seen him help my son with both buying and selling homes, I trusted him to sell my childhood home in McFarland. His dual expertise as both Realtor and mortgage broker proved invaluable; he could pre-qualify potential buyers so we didn't waste time with people who wouldn't get approved for loans.

What makes Greg special is how he walks you through everything, especially helpful when handling complex situations like selling an inherited house with my sisters. He's incredibly easy to talk to and always calls back promptly. Even in a predominantly Spanish-speaking community, his likable personality and transparency made everyone comfortable. That's why I've recommended him to family and friends – I know they'll be in good hands with Greg.
