WHAT?! My personal info has been taken from Equifax security breach?!

I have received many calls and emails in the past couple of weeks from different clients regarding the security data breach at Equifax. For those of you that wonder what precautionary steps to take, the Federal Trade Commission has put out some very helpful pages to answer questions and “how-to” freeze your credit.

A new calculation of credit scores soon could make it easier for millions of Americans to qualify for car loans and credit cards.

“We also very strongly recommend Annie Chang. We worked with Annie when we bought our house this past spring. The lending environment is very difficult these days, with lenders putting out unexpected last minute demands and requirements. Annie stayed on top of all the issues and was excellent in communicating any foreseeable obstacles in the process. It got a little hairy towards the end of the process when the lender threw out a demand that could have delayed the financing process in such a way that we would have lost our lock-in rate. But she was able to navigate through the request with our realtor and saved our rate. Within 3 months of this new loan, she came back and told us about a no cost refinancing opportunity. We worked with her then to secure that loan too.
We really appreciate Annie's proactive approach. Once she knows our loan situation, she comes to us for refinancing opportunities. With the person we worked with previously, we would call him every once in awhile when we see a low rate and sometimes, the window of opportunity had already passed.
And she really does make the paperwork process easy. One time, she even read my son a book while I signed the papers at our home! Can't say enough great things about Annie, she's on top of it all!”

“I have worked with Annie Chang for the past three years in the residential mortgage lending side. She has worked closely with me and my clients to help them refinance their mortgages or obtain new mortgages. She is very detailed oriented and patient with all her customers. I can rely on Annie to follow though and appraise me on any potential problems. My clients have rated their experience with Annie very highly in their evaluation sheet and I highly recommend Annie to other clients in the commercial lending side. Feel free to contact me at (510) 654-4417.”

Mary Geong, CPA Oakland, CA

“Annie was our lending partner from the initial phase of pre-qualification to the close, Annie was prompt, professional, and helpful in assisting us in the often mysterious and intimidating process. Moreover, she advocated on our behalf not just with the lender but even with our real estate agent. Annie was able to pull out all the stops and get the funds transferred without a hitch.”
