Our Promise

Guidance You Can Trust Always By Your Side

I know firsthand how overwhelming and frustrating it can be to purchase your first home. The confusion, the unanswered questions, and the endless back and forth between loan officers and agents who don’t communicate—it’s exhausting. I’ve experienced it all: the loan officers who don’t talk to agents, the agents who don’t respond on time or worse, get frustrated when you ask questions. It’s a mess, and it leaves you feeling lost and unsupported at a time when you need clarity and confidence the most.

That’s why I’m dedicated to changing the game with Sunset Lending and Realty. We’ve completely reimagined the home-buying process to eliminate all the common roadblocks and frustrations. Our team works together seamlessly, managing both your home buying and loan processes, so you never have to juggle different groups or feel like you’re on your own. Whether you’re buying your first home or navigating the complexities of mortgage options, I’ll make sure you get clear answers, consistent support, and guidance every step of the way. My mission is simple: to make your real estate journey as smooth, stress-free, and empowering as possible—from the very first step to the moment you turn the key to your new home. I’m here for you, and I will never let you feel lost in the process. This is your journey, and I’m here to ensure it’s a positive one.

I highly recommend Sunset Lending & Realty, Thomas and his team are very accommodating. As a first time home buyer Thomas was very patient and walked me through every step of the way. The team worked diligently to get my approved and funded and I was even able to close a week ahead of the estimated time. If you are in the market for a home and want a honest and transparent team working with you, I'd definitely choose SLR.

All around exceptional in their line of work. We had a non-standard request to get a HELOC without a base mortgage (house owned outright) and also held the property in the name of a trust vs an individual. They went out of their way where pretty much everyone else found the request too difficult and passed on us to find us a solution that would work. They even signed up with another bank to reseller their products to get something to work for us! Honestly, they are the best at what they do and they made it entirely simple for our family. We'd highly recommend.

Shout out to Brad who has been on top of every detail so the purchase of our family’s first ranch process could be as smooth as possible. Brad was always so prompt and available to answer every question my family had throughout the entire buy. I’ll defined recommend him to anyone I know.

Thomas my mortgage broker, and I couldn’t be more impressed. He explained all of my options clearly, was upfront and honest about the process, and worked hard to secure me a great rate. Communication was top-notch—he was always available to answer questions and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. The entire process was seamless thanks to his expertise. If you’re looking for someone who truly goes above and beyond with your mortgage, Thomas is the one you want in your corner.

Thomas was incredible to work with. He explained everything in a way that was easy to digest and his regular check-ins made an overwhelming process feel manageable. He also got me a rate that was a full 0.5% lower than the others. I can't recommend him and Sunset Lending & Realty enough.

Thomas and his team are phenomenal. Thomas has personally spent weeks explaining to me how the mortgage and refinance procedure works. Hands down he is the most competitive When compared to 20 other mortgage brokers, I have called and spoke to. While the mortgage industry is very competitive, Thomas Far surpasses his Competitors because he is very genuine and will go above and beyond to try to get you the best rate possible while always staying in communication every step of the way. Most of his competitors do not pick up the phone let alone spend 2 minutes on the phone with a potential client. I have recommended Thomas and his team to all of My relatives and friends who might possibly be looking to refinance their home in the near future.

I had the pleasure of working with Thomas on behalf of my client, and I couldn't be more impressed with their service. From start to finish, Thomas was professional, responsive, and always went the extra mile to ensure the loan process went smoothly. They kept my client informed every step of the way, answered all questions with patience, and provided expert guidance throughout the entire transaction. Thanks to Thomas, my client was able to close on time without any issues. I highly recommend Thomas Freedman and Sunset Lending to anyone in need of a reliable and knowledgeable lender!

Thomas (Tom Tom) is truly in a league of his own! He is extraordinarily sharp, analytical, precise, and thorough. What most agents take days to grasp, Thomas understood and acted on within an hour. While we’ve purchased homes before, navigating the California market was entirely new for us—and without Thomas, we could never have secured our first home here. His complex expertise and multipurpose support were invaluable every step of the way. What stood out most was how quickly we developed a strong bond with him. He attuned so effortlessly to what we needed, providing a level of understanding and reassurance that made us feel secure throughout this process. Even now, we still reach out to him for guidance, and he’s always ready to help. Thomas is truly the all-in-one real estate package, and we are forever grateful for his outstanding work.
