I have worked with Ryan and C2 Financial for multiple purchases and refinances over the years and I had great experiences every time. Ryan is very thorough and he makes sure that the process goes as smooth as possible. It makes the process a lot easier when you have someone very detailed and organized like Ryan helping you out. Ryan was able to prepare us for any issues that could arise while trying to obtain financing and I always felt like he was looking out for my best interest. I would recommend Ryan and C2 Financial to anyone that is looking to buy a house or refinance a house they currently own.

  This was my 4th time refinancing with Ryan and each time it gets better and better! He's a pro and as good as it gets. If you're looking for a new home loan with a short close, a refinance with no time frame or anything in-between, his knowledge of the market, customer service and overall structure makes him a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend working with Ryan and have sent 5 other people to him, all of which also gave him outstanding reviews.

  I could not have asked for a better experience. We purchased a short sale that had the most complicated issues (multiple banks, tax issues, short escrow, etc.) and with Ryan's knowledge and expertise we were able to secure the purchase before the property foreclosed. We were limited on time due to a possible foreclosure, and securing a loan in such a short time was looking extremely difficult. If it wasn't for Ryan working on my loan around the clock we would not have closed on time.

Ryan was referred to me by coworkers. I was originally working with my former loan officer, which I had used three times prior. That Loan officer dropped the ball on me at the worst possible time. He flat out told me that he could not do it because he was "Too busy" for me and also could not recommend a loan officer to help his 3 time client. I was extremely disappointed that we were going to lose out on our dream home.

Ryan and Karen saved the day. Ryan took on the task knowing the complexity of the purchase and came through for us. Ryan even got me a lower interest rate and mortgage payment. My other loan officer couldn't even get close to the interest rate and I got from Ryan. If you want a great and knowledgeable Loan officer/broker go with Ryan, you will not be disappointed.

I can go on and on about Ryan and Karen. They are great, friendly, and up to date on all the new regulations. I can't say enough good things about Ryan and C2 Financial. 5 stars! Thank you Ryan and Karen, we love our new home and we are very happy with our mortgage!

  I stumbled on to Ryan by accident as I was looking for another broker I had talked to in San Diego. I am so glad I hooked up with Ryan.
The guy does what he says he will do...closed our loan in 21 days with our loan costs being exactly what he told us they would be. Ryan has a great support staff, everyone returns phone calls emails immediately and
overall turns a usually stressful situation into a very manageable one.
We would use Ryan Gelardi again with no hesitation.

  Ryan helped in my refinancing in 2017. He worked efficiently and was able to complete the work in very short time, even if there were some hitches on my side. It was a pleasure working with him and his team as I only needed to feed my materials and was protected from the tedious paperwork and communication with the third parties.

  I can't recommend Ryan Gelardi enough. Ryan's knowledge, expertise, attention to detail and patience made the complicated home purchase so much easier. A few years ago, he helped me with my first home purchase taking the time to explain all the nuances of the process along the way. He was always on top of all the details and I never had to worry about something falling through the cracks. He even contacted me several months after the close of my home to let me know I could refinance at a lower rate. I can't tell you how much I appreciated him looking out for my welfare even after our business had concluded. Since, I have used his services again and he went above and beyond--looking out for my best interests--I wouldn't go to anyone else.

  Ryan was the BEST POSSIBLE, go-to source for all of our mortgage needs! We worked with a couple different brokers to start out and quickly found out that Ryan was ahead of the pack, and passionate about helping us reach our goals. My wife and I are first time military home buyers and he was very transparent and helpful teaching us about all our options, aligning completely with our goals, and he ended up getting us an absolutely incredible rate with minimal fees!!! Ryan was on top of things every step of the way, keeping us on track and he was always available and kept in touch with us throughout the whole process. The rate he was able to secure for us has made a huge impact! We can't thank Ryan enough for his hard work on our loan. 5 stars just doesn't do it justice. With the rate and credits he got us and the service he provided he gets an A+++ must use grade! Don't hesitate to contact Ryan for all your mortgage needs!

  Ryan thank you so much for assisting with the purchase of our second home and juggling all that is involved with selling and buying simultaneous. Your experience and prompt responses really help make this transition less stressful. Also, the referral you gave us to help with a HELCO for our remodel was such a good fit even after shopping around we could not beat the rate offered by your contact. We appreciate your thoughtful guidance and listening to all our concerns and goals. Looking forward to our next financing transaction since we know you will make it easier and less painful. Bravo and keep up all the hard work!

  Ryan is fast to respond and on top of everything. We did a refi with him and had quite a few roadblocks along the way (not Ryan's fault) and he just did what he could to knock those blocks down. He was quick to contact (email or call) us when there was something and quick to respond when I had we had questions. There were a lot of technical terms and nuances involved and he does his best to answer questions.

  Ryan helped me through my first home buying experience and he was fantastic to work with! He took the time l to make me feel comfortable with the processes, gave me a clear road map, and made himself available to help with rate scenarios whenever the need came up. Ultimately I choose Ryan because he was the most professional and helpful person I found, but he also had the best rates and saved me a few thousand dollars over the other lender I was working with. A+ thanks again Ryan for all assistance!

  Ryan is the greatest! After inquiring about using my VA home loan to purchase a house after several years of renting in San Diego, I going to continue renting after being told by several other lenders to wait until my credit score improved. Ryan was the only one to insist that he could help us in our dream of becoming homeowners, and after a little over 2 months, he delivered on all his promises and my family and I are now in the process of moving into our first home ever in North County San Diego! I am a retired USAF veteran and would gladly recommend Ryan and his company for all of your home financing plans. He is the utmost professional and was always available at any time of the day for any questions or concerns I had with my home buying experience! I will not hesitate to use his company and services in the future! Thank you!

  I recently refinanced with Ryan; he was extremely attentive, and answered every question I had. This wasn't my first refi, but it was my first refi with the VA. Ryan was extremely knowledgeable with working with the VA and made it a smooth and easy experience (the VA wanted WAY more info than a traditional refi lender!). I would definitely recommend Ryan and his staff...quick, easy, and painless refi! Thank you Ryan!

  Looking to refi my House after 5 years.. I found Ryan/C2 Financial on YELP with 5 Stars. Initially I was going to use an Online website to refi but the feeling of being face to face with a person handling such a big transaction made me more comfortable. Ryan explained the process (idiot proofed it for me) and in 30 days we closed to avoid another month of interest from the BofA... This refi was financial life changer. To this day Ryan still reaches out to me letting me know what the market looks like and where I can save money on my home. Ryan is the go to guy when it comes Mortgage Loans and I would recommend him to anyone looking.

From me and my Family.. Thank you Ryan.

  Amazing service and results! Ryan helped my wife and I refinance the home we purchased last year. Ryan was on top of things every step of the way. He kept in touch with us during the entire process and was very clear on what was happening. The rate he was able to secure for us has made a huge impact! Can't thank Ryan enough for his hard work on our refi. Don't hesitate to contact Ryan for all your mortgage needs!
