We’ve worked with Mike on two loans and had a great experience. Mike was detailed when talking about options and various scenarios. He and his team were prompt with communication, answering all of our questions, following up when needed and making sure everything was in order to close on time.

I I had the pleasure of working with Mike Koran (and his associate Andrew) during a recent transaction, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! As a real estate broker in the Bay Area for the past 10 years, I’ve worked with many lenders, but Mike truly stands out for his expertise, thoroughness, and attentive client service. We just closed a deal for a buyer who is one of my dear friends who is a first-time buyer - Mike & his team made the entire process seamless and stress-free for our mutual client. From our first initial phone conversation to closing day, Mike was always available to answer questions, provide timely updates, and offer valuable lending insight. His intimate knowledge of the market is impressive, and he worked diligently to find the best financing options for our client. What I appreciated the most was Mike's genuine care for his clients. He took the time to ensure that my friend's needs were fully met and that all of his questions were answered. It is evident that Mike is passionate about helping people achieve their homeownership dreams - especially in the competitive San Francisco Bay Area real estate market. Thank you, Mike & Andrew for your outstanding service, dedication, and support!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Mike Koran from Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. on a duplex loan, and I am glad to share my exceptional experience. From the beginning, Mike demonstrated a level of professionalism and dedication that is truly commendable. He took on a loan for a challenging property that had been vacant for decades. Throughout the process, Mike went above and beyond to ensure that the funding was secured promptly and efficiently. His deep understanding of the lending landscape and ability to navigate complex financial scenarios was evident, providing me and the listing agent with confidence. What truly sets Mike apart is his proactive communication and personalized approach. He took the time to understand my client's needs and was patient enough to work at the borrower's pace. Mike was always available to answer questions and provide updates, making the process seamless. I wholeheartedly recommend Mike Koran and Primary Residential Mortgage Inc. to anyone needing a reliable and exceptional lending partner, especially for properties that do not qualify for traditional financing. His expertise and commitment to client success make them stand out in the industry.

Mike was extremely responsive and worked closely with our agent to get everything lined up for a great purchasing experience. He walked me through everything in detail, answered every question large and small, and gave me peace of mind. I recommend him highly.

I highly recommend Mike and his team. It was my first home purchase and I had lots of questions throughout the process. I was impressed every step of the way how both Mike and Andrew were thorough and patient explaining every question I asked them about the process. They were super responsive both over email and over the phone. And every step of the way I was given visibility into next steps and the timeline surrounding closing. The loan was the best rate out there. I'll definitely be returning next time I'm looking for a loan. I can't imagine better service. Thank you!

Mike was incredibly attentive and responsive throughout the process. Your quick actions and focus on detail made everything run smoothly and efficiently. It was a pleasure working with you, and your proactive approach truly stood out.

I want to take the time to write and share my experiences working with Michael Koran and Primary Residential Mortgage.  I first found Mike Koran back in 2009 online during one of the most uncertain financial times in History. As you can imagine I was skeptical of dealing with anyone I didn’t know personally but Michael was able to assuage me of that concern and I know that I had found the best lender I could have hope for who is honest and has an incredible work ethic while always keeping his clients best interests in mind and all times.  Since then I have come back to work with Michael and his team on numerous occasions.  I will always refer my family, friends and co-workers to Michael Koran and know that they will not only be in the best of hands but also get exceptional personalized service and incredibly good rates with very low costs.

My husband and I recently bought our first house in Walnut Creek. While the competition in this area is not as bad as Oakland and San Francisco, we decided to go with PRMI because we believed it would give us an advantage – Mike and his team were also strongly recommended. PRMI walked us step by step through the entire mortgage process so there were no surprises. They were extremely responsive throughout the whole process. Part of the reason my husband and I liked PRMI was because Mike’s team was able and willing to do tight close of escrow  and they were very open to calling the seller’s agents assuring them of our strong financial situation.We would definitely use PRMI again!

Mike and his team are extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable.  I will continue to refer my clients, friends, and family to Mike as I know that they will be taken care of and in the hands of somebody that I trust.

Mike is top rated, best in class, and trustworthy.  I really enjoy working with him and his professional team.  Responsive, smart, and knowledgeable.  I have been working with Mike for nearly 10 years, can’t imagine going with anybody else.

My wife and I were extremely satisfied with all the work Mike and his team did on our behalf. He is responsive, trust worthy, likable, a great communicator, knowledgable at what he does, and my wife and I always felt he had our back throughout our refinance. I plan to use Mike on the future for our mortgage needs. It is not an accident that he has so many five star reviews. He is one the best and we highly recommend you work with him.

Before my wife and I set out to buy our first house we asked our financial advisors for lender recommendations. They only gave us one name: Michael Koran at Primary Residential Mortgage, Inc. After going through the entire process of securing a loan from start to finish, I can see why they didn’t mention anyone else. Buying a house is scary, especially if it’s your first time and you don’t understand the process. Mike was always there to alleviate our concerns and answer our questions. Without his knowledge and advice I would have been a nervous wreck. If you ever need to secure a loan quickly and need a responsive, reliable team that can close quickly, I would highly recommend Mike and his team. K
