There were times that I wanted to give up but the FNA team was always there for me, I truly applaud your diligence and perseverance. It sets your apart from the others!
Diego, I specially want to thank you for your efforts in providing the very important and critical support in order to close my transaction. You are a committed and true professional.

Dear FNA
Thank you for your help in closing our Mexico loan. Doing a loan in Mexico is nothing like doing a loan in the US. My husband and I started with another loan company, but felt like we were not treated well. There was little contact about the process, the documents were wrong and our attempts to speak to someone about fixing problems fell of deaf ears.
Although there were a fecew "bumps" in the road, you were there; You followed through and made the experien as pain free as possible. You addressed our fears, followed up on questions and concerns we had and made sure that when we went to sign off in Mexico, things were smoothly.
I was very appreciative that you were available by phone the day of our signing and your team worked hard to keep the process moving forward, not and easy thing to do out of the country. The Mexican approach business transactions in a much different way then we do here and we were glad you were on top of the process.
I was also pleased that your team followed up on the final sign offs with the developer and the "head's up" about the property taxes. Your Bi-lingual staff was extremely helpful with the language barriers and went to bat for us, when we needed to fully understand what was going on.
Thank you and you can be sure that I will recommend you to my clients who are pursuing investments in Mexico and elsewhere.
Sincerely

I would like to sincerely thank the entire staff at Finance North America for their excellent support and service throughout the financing process of my new home in Guadalajara, Mexico. Initially I was not familiar with how the process might work, but from the start to finish they were extremely professional, knowledgeable and willing to explain all of the details, so that I felt very confortable and confident. Finance North America was certainly the best option to finance my home in Mexico and that is why Ihave recommended FNA to my family and friends looking to purchase/invest in Mexico.

Navigating the minutiae that involved in obtaining a loan for property in Mexico is a full-time job. Lawrence Dewan and his team at Finance North America not only helped us understand what loan programs were available, but also helped to make recommendations as to what programs would best suit our family. FNA was responsive to our questions and concerns and worked hard to provide us with a top-notch service.

We shopped many other loan companies before we chose Finance North America to finance the purchase of our condominium in Rosarito, Mexico.
Their Knowledge of loans products and their relationship with the banks that finance foreigh properties made Finance North America stand out from other companies. From the very beginning, they proved their expertise in the Mexico real estate market and they communicated every step of the process in a professional way. As mortgage brokers ourselves, we held Finance North America to a very high standard that they definitely lived up to.

I just wanted to take a moment to personally thank Diego, Gabriel, Karla, Lawrence and the entire Finance North America team for guiding us through the mirky waters of financing our vacation home in Ixtapa, Mexico.
From the very beginning of the process, Gabriel explained that financing a home outside of the Unites States can be tricky. With your guidance and experience however, it wasn't as complicated as it could have been.
Your communication with the developer/seller of our condominum was excellent. They both remarked at the closing about the level of knowledge and professionalism you and your staff diplayed at all times and how much it was appreciated. The simple fact that all of you are bilingual was truly appreciated by myself, since my Spanish vocabulary is "muy poquito".
Again , Many thanks for helping us make our dream home a reality.
I would highly recommend your expertise and services to anyone considering
the purchase of a home in Mexico.
"Muchas Muchas Gracias!" to all of you.

When my wife and I decided to purchase our $2 million dream vacation home in Puerto Vallarta we were at a loss as to where to begin with respect to how to purchase the property and arrange for financing. I interviewed several finance brokers in the United States and Mexico. It was evident that a lot of brokers were trying to break into a new field of opportunity. I quickly learned that the procedures would be complicated and cumbersome. Also, it was made clear to me that financing in Mexico was still in the experimental stage. I ultimately decided to have Christian Alvarez of Finance North America handle the transaction. From the very beginning of our relationship it was obvious that Christian was extraordinarily qualified to the job. He provided a "no non-sense" approach which far surpassed the dozen other brokers we interviewed. Notwithstanding, Christian believed that we would be able to secure financing within 6 weeks of application.
To our delight, Christian performed as represented. In fact, when the seller was not able to close as expected due to her failure to provide certain documents Christian and his team went to work to immediately find the root of the problem and solve it. If asked, Christian will probably tell you that the seller's representatives were one of the most uncooperative he has ever experienced. Notwithstanding, at the final hour Christian and his team performed admirably. Quiet frankly they performed a miracle. Our hat goes off to Finance North America. We insist, do not use any other broker for your Mexico financial transactions. You will be disappointed if you do.

"Hi all,
I just got another call from a possible client that would require financing if he should find something he likes. I told him that I always refer people to FNA... I think the most important issue for me in any sale is communication and all of you were the best in the last deal I closed. From the beginning, I was always copied in emails that pertained to the sale and received at least one phone call a week as well. I was always notified of any delay, problem, etc which made it possible to work on that issue from my end if necessary. Everyone was polite, efficient and also a pleasure to work with, and I assure you that in the future I will always push FNA. Saludos, Penny."

"I had the opportunity to work with Finance North America and I am truly excited... I wouldn’t think of working with anyone else. I was a nonbeliever when Finance North America and Christian approached me regarding US Financing for real-estate in Mexico. The FNA team took the time to clearly outline the lending requirements to me and my client. My clients were handled with care and patience and the loan approval was obtained in a reasonable time frame. As a result, the transaction went smoothly and I received a very valuable education on the lending process for US citizens purchasing in Mexico."
