Why work with Amir
Complicated loans welcome
Self-employed income, DSCR, non-QM, jumbo loans and tricky escrows are where I do my best work.
"Amir made a very confusing mortgage process much easier to understand." Cesar A.
Straight answers
If a refinance or a loan doesn't make sense for you, I'll tell you, even when the best move is to wait.
"I consider you a friend and an honest person someone that tells it like it is even when you don't want to hear it." Jesus J.
Real communication
You get my direct line and updates from application through closing.
"He kept us updated every step of the way, and was so communicative." Annie G.
We just closed on our home last week and Amir was there for every step of the way from conception to signing. He patiently explained each step of the process, possible ways to achieve my goals and the implications of each one in terms I could understand.
Google review
Amir has handled multiple transactions for my Wife and I. In each case Amir has made the process quick, efficient and painless, even with the most complicated transactions. 5 star professional!
Google review
We decided to refinance after a year because of Amir. He proactively monitored the interest rates and forecasted a rate increase, and took the initiative to lock us in to a great interest rate when he knew the rates were about to go up. We have zero regrets working with him.

Estimate your monthly payment
Change any number to see how it moves your payment. When you want real numbers, I'll price your scenario with you.

An example. Try any rate.

For illustration only. The numbers above are examples you control, not an advertised rate, payment or terms, and not an offer to lend. Mortgage insurance is a rough estimate that varies with credit score and loan type. Your actual rate, APR and payment depend on your credit, property, loan program and market conditions.

Who you'll work with
I've been in real estate and lending for nearly 15 years, and my clients have always come first. Today I'm a Mortgage Loan Advisor at E Mortgage Capital in Santa Ana, California. E Mortgage Capital is licensed in 47 states. If you're buying somewhere I'm not licensed, I'll connect you with a licensed loan officer on our team.
I love guiding people through the loan and home buying process, explaining each option in terms that make sense and helping them reach their goal of owning a home.
I grew up in Southern California. When I'm not working, you'll find me with family and friends, on the golf course, snowboarding or traveling. Come say hi on Instagram at @mortgageamir.

Common questions
Do you work outside California?
Yes. E Mortgage Capital is licensed in 47 states. You can see the states I'm personally licensed in on NMLS Consumer Access, and if you're buying somewhere I'm not, I'll connect you with a licensed loan officer on our team.
Will talking to you hurt my credit?
No. A conversation doesn't touch your credit. When you're ready for a pre-approval, I'll let you know before your credit is pulled, and mortgage credit checks within a short shopping window typically count as a single inquiry.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Usually less than people expect. Conventional and FHA loans both have low down payment options, and VA loans are built to make buying easier for eligible veterans and service members. I'll show you the exact numbers for your situation.
How long does it take to close?
A typical purchase closes in about 30 to 45 days, and some close faster. Your timeline depends on the loan program, the appraisal and your contract.
Should I get pre-approved before I start looking?
Yes. A pre-approval tells you what you can comfortably afford and shows sellers you're serious. In competitive markets, many sellers expect one with every offer.
