Miles and the whole team at LH Lenders were knowledgeable, patient, and provided excellent communication. They helped my wife and I secure a loan extremely quickly with a competitive interest rate. Would highly recommend using LH Lenders!!
So many stars aligned to make our first home purchase fall into place, with Miles accounting for more than one of those stars. Miles and his team are professional, communicative, informed, and creative. They kept us well informed throughout the entire process, advocated for us at every opportunity, and worked overtime when the process needed expediting. It feels like an understatement to say that we are deeply grateful to Miles.
My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Miles twice to refinance our home. We enjoyed working with him so much the first time that we wanted to use him again for the second refinance. Both times Miles and his team made the process seamless and easy. Miles is super knowledgeable about the industry and has a pulse on the current environment. He is very kind, friendly, and patient, easy to work with, and always willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. We highly recommend Miles - he will take great care of you and your loan.
Miles is a top notch lender that took a complex situation and made it work. We had VA conversion for one house that became an investment property along with a VA reinstatement and purchase of another house in parallel, and Miles got it done timely and without issues. The best part is that whenever a challenge occurred, Miles called me after the solution was in place, and to deliver the great news. I cannot recommend him enough and will work with him in the future.
You'd expect your mortgage guy to know his stuff. Yes.
You'd expect your mortgage guy to explain the confusing stuff. Yes.
You'd expect your mortgage guy to know the industry. Yes.
You'd expect your mortgage guy to be reachable. Yes.
You'd expect your mortgage guy to be professional. Yes.
You'd expect your mortgage guy to be nice; friendly. Yes. Very.
But I didn't expect him to be amazing communicator, above and beyond. Calling me only when needed, but letting me know what to expect (the loan process is kind of a joke), how he's going to help us work together to minimize the impact on me (so many ridiculous hoops to jump thru), and the timing of the whole thing (he was honest). I also realized all the things he did behind the scenes that made it SO EASY to work with him.
Oh and did I say he's also a really nice guy?
Hands down he's the best in the business. Savvy , sensible and easy to talk to. He did give me lots of personal advise that helped me to boost confidence and approach.
Would recommend
Miles helped me with my re-finance on my current loan. It was quick, clear and professional. I closed my loan within 30 days even during Covid19 time. I highly recommend him. Also, my 30 years fix is now only 2.99%.
After waiting weeks to obtain a pre-approval letter from Bank of America, my real estate agent recommended Miles Palacios. I'm so glad she did. Not only did he supply a letter within 24 hours, but he got our loan funded in less than 30 days. He is responsive and reliable, and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or refinance.
It's always a pleasure working with Miles. He is the most knowledgeable, creative, and thorough loan officer in the business. He has a deep understanding and respect for the industry that is unmatched. He makes he loan process easy and enjoyable and I cannot say enough good things about him. I look forward to sending all my future clients to him!
My wife and I had a really great experience in working with Miles. We both appreciated the details, info and time dedicated to understanding the steps and process. These loans can be long and we interviewed/considered 3 lenders simultaneously. Miles did the best job for our needs and we recommend him highly!
My wife and I have worked with Miles for some time now. When we moved to Virginia and were looking to buy a house, we contacted Miles in hopes he could point us in a right direction. The process of buying a house and getting a loan can be a true nightmare anywhere, let alone in a new state. Fortunately, Miles' long experience and knowledgeable made the whole process from getting the loan to finding a right house so much easier, even though we were all the way on the East Coast. Needless to say, we will contact Miles if our job relocates us again. He is one of the hardest workers we've met, and he absolutely loves what he does.
Miles Palacio is the best broker i had ever worked with and i had been around the block for a bit, plus bought and sold quite a few properties !
He is the definition of professionalism, super timely, very accurate, very transparent, dedicated, clear! The man answers the phone sick as sick one be and gets back to you from his vacation!
I had bought and refinanced properties with Miles and i actually got the loan closed before the set deadlines.
Miles, i cannot recommend you enough as the very best mortgage broker of the bay and "decorate" you as the most professional and qualified one!
Miles was awesome! I purchased a home in Elk Grove and due to some credit challenges it was difficult, but Miles worked very hard for me so that I could get a good interest rate and loan. It is so stressful when you purchase a home but Miles and his staff were helpful, responsive and will go the extra mile for you. I would highly recommend CMG to anyone looking to refi or purchase. Thank you again Miles for everything you did for me!
When we did our first refinance, I was ready to give up but Miles wouldn't. His persistence probably saved our home. So when I decided to refinance again it was a no brainer who to call, and as I suspected it was seamless.
Thanks again Miles!
Miles and the CMG team were very helpful successful and professional in dealing with my refinance. This is the fourth refinance I've had in 20 years and it was by far the best service that I've ever had!Thank you so much for providing such excellent service .I look forward to doing business again and have told several friends to try your services too.
Fast and efficient. Answered all questions asked and got things done in a timely fashion. Pleasure to work with.
Miles has been so helpful and responsive, he helped me every step of the way, he is the reason I could successfully purchase my home.
He is knowledgeable and on top of things, I cannot say enough good things about him. I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy property.
Miles helped my wife and I buy our first home. We couldn't have asked for a better broker. He was a pleasure to work with, responsive, and a tremendous guide throughout the process. Thank you for all your hard work. We love our new home!
We refinanced our home with Miles. I've financed homes about twelve times and this was the easiest.
Yep, Miles will take good care of you.
No problems and no surprises.

We chose Miles to refinance our house. Overall he did a great job and we are satisfied. He is competent and efficient. He also gave us the best rate. We fully recommend him to others. Keep up the good work Miles.
Miles is an extremely creative and competent lender. He has successfully closed 3 escrows for me in the past year and I would highly recommend him to all of my clients. He is a great communicator and great with follow-up. I know that every effort will be made to make my clients' experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Thanks Miles!
Miles is the best agent we ever dealt with. Communication is excellent, smooth processing, and he instantly becomes your friend! I will recommend him everyone.
Miles was great to work with. He offered us options, got us a good deal, and promptly answered communications. He also let us know what each step of the process would be, so there were no surprises. I definitely recommend him.
Miles has been wonderful throughout purchasing my home last year and now refinancing my home. he is always available and informative
I recommend him to my friends and family without any hesitations
Very reliable
First time homebuyer, refinance, or just want to to avoid as much stress as possible? Go to Miles Palacios! He is extremely knowledgeable, thorough and responsive. As a realtor I have referred a hand full of clients whom have been extremely pleased with his service and professionalism. We just closed on a deal for a first-time homebuyer last week. He was able to compete in today's fast paced market by shortening the appraisal and loan contingency which ultimately got our offer accepted. Having a honest, dependable lender who sticks to their time frames is the key to a successful transaction. I would highly recommend Miles for any loan situation!
If you've been through a refi before, you probably know what a hassle the process can be. Miles kept us up to date, kept the process going and made it as painless and simple as possible. His communication was excellent. We would recommend Miles to our friends and look forward to working with him again in the future.
Some background on how Miles earns his 5 stars.
My wife and I had been looking for a home for several months. During this search I was shopping around for a home loan... completely oblivious to the fact that credit checks over time hurt your credit. The housing market right now has been rather aggressive in the south bay for a bit now and my wife and I had been out bid several times (as anybody looking has been). Our realtor suggested we submit offers with more aggressive time tables... well.. this nearly bit us. We ended up having an offer accepted on a house we adored, only to find that Citybank couldn't honor its pre-approval with only a handful of days before close of contingencies due to my credit score dropping just a couple points below their cut-off (due to my shopping around for a loan). Enter Miles... with only a few days to go and during the holidays (I called him Dec 23) he worked with his underwriter to get us a nice fixed rate and through title in a very timely manner. Thank you Miles and CMG!

Miles Palacios was our Mortgage Consultant for our first time home purchase. We were referred to Miles from a couple of wonderful Real Estate Agents we literally bumped into (but that's another review). From the beginning, he was up front, positive and clearly explained what would be required to get us where we needed to be in financing our new home. His guidance throughout the process was thorough and clear and in the end we were able to close very quickly and get into our new home before Christmas. He'll be the first to say things don't always work out so smoothly but fortunately, this time around they did and I give him the credit for keeping me on task and focussed on my end of the process.
Ask for Miles! We just got two refinances funded today. I did not believe it would really happen as our first experience with re-financing with a large bank left me discouraged and frustrated. We found Miles and CMG through a family member who had just completed a re-finance with Miles. From the very beginning Miles was positive and encouraging and helped us put together a successful package on two separate properties. One extremely positive trait of Miles is that he always kept us up-to-date on the progress of our loan application even when there was not much news. I appreciate that he was really on top of the process the whole way.
Miles helped us save $$$ on a refinance and is still following up with us! He sends us a great magazine each quarter and knows the business.
Strongly recommend his services at CMG Financial.
