"We've used Barry for multiple purchases and refinances over the years and can't say enough good things about him. He's aggressive on rates and finds great loan programs to get your deal done quickly. Most recently we were buying a condo for our parents and needed to compete against cash offers which meant we needed to get all the information collected within a day so that Barry could give us a stamp of approval in our offer. He dropped everything to help us on a Saturday and Sunday to make sure we wouldn't lose out on the perfect condo. And it worked! On top of that, he really cares about his clients. He remembers our names and even our son! He is very personable, and we trust his advice. I would recommend him to anyone!”

"Barry helped us by looking at our overall financial picture and suggesting how to best format our loan. His knowledge, honesty and integrity were invaluable. Also, he came into this late in the game after another mortgage broker made an ‘error’ on our prequalification. So, Barry had to hit the ground running...and he did. Barry was always quick to respond to any communication I sent, whether it was by email, text or voice mail. I appreciate all that Barry did for us."

“Barry,
I want to send you a note to tell you how grateful we are for you and your team. You have been wonderful. We didn't realize how easy the process this was going to be. Moving out of state, leaving a home we loved and buying in a neighborhood we don’t know is overwhelming and scary. You helped make this less stressful and actually fun with your videos. (We both get a kick out of them). So, thank you a million times over! I have already recommended you to a few family members that will need your services in the future.”

"Barry is a fantastic Broker. He handled everything like a pro. I had so many questions since this was my first home. He answered everyone and always made me feel in the loop. His knowledge is extensive, his staff/support/associates are fantastic and everything he promised was delivered. You can't go wrong with him. He is very trustworthy and responds immediately if he is away from the phone/email. I work odd hours and had to email a couple of times.....he answered right away. Who does that when they are at home?? Don't go elsewhere, he deals with a lot of loan companies and knows what the best rates are. I even compared with Quicken/Rocket Mortgage....Barry's quoted rates were lower. You're in good hands with Barry Hollander!"

“Barry, I wanted to personally thank you for all your efforts in closing our escrow on #2 Fairmont, for Mr & Mrs Miner. Because of your cooperation, dedication, and hard work, we definitely have very happy Buyers, Sellers, and two real estate agents. As an active Real Estate Broker for over 45 years, I always appreciate working with true professional people like yourself, which seems to be a rarity these days. Barry, as a lender you went above and beyond in closing this very trying transaction (at times), which I can assure you was noticed and appreciated by everyone involved. To this end, I will definitely welcome the opportunity of working with you again, should that opportunity presents itself.”

"I was a first time home buyer and chose FirstFund Mortgage because the line of communication with Barry Hollander and his staff was always honest and open. Throughout the home buying process, FirstFund kept me up to date on my home loan status, and also instructed me on any actions I needed to take. It was helpful receiving a phone call, text message, email or even video explaining this. I recommend FirstFund Mortgage Corp to anyone looking for a broker to help guide them through the home buying experience. Communication about the loan application process, interest rates, down payment, loan amount, taxes, HOA and closing costs are honest and encouraging."

"I have been a full time Realtor for over 20 years and Barry is one of the few lenders that was always ahead of everything in the recent transaction I had with him. He was very up front and did exactly what he said, which is refreshing in an industry where a lot of things are promised and not followed through on. Barry was an absolute pleasure to work with, being both professional and personable. Anyone who uses Barry as their lender would be luck to have him on their side. He truly cares about his clients in all aspects."

"Ultimately, we bought a home through another agent, but we stayed with Barry Hollander...
Barry is the man you want to talk to whenever you are looking to purchase real estate. We bought a home in Simi Valley and where introduced to Barry by the first agent that we dealt with. Ultimately, we bought a home through another agent but we stayed with Stearns Lending throughout. Barry had us pre-approved within a day or two of submitting the application and stayed true to his promises throughout the entire process. We actually introduced him to the agent that ultimately found our house and between the two of them it was a smooth ride. Barry told us where we stood with the loan and it made it much easier to submit offers with pre-approved money. It is nice to have someone on your team that really understands what they are doing. Barry Hollander walked me through the entire process and I couldn't be happier with the results. I highly recommend Stearns Lending to anyone."
