    “Mark the best lender! He is a problem solver and knows how to get things done. He stepped in when my client's previous lender hit a snag, Mark jumped in to action to salvage the deal and still kept the same timeline! Can't say enough about his ability to problem solve and work together to get my clients the best loan and his experience was critical to closing on time. Looking forward to working with Mark again in the future.”

    “Mark has an incredible amount of wisdom in this business. We just applied for a loan for a home 🏡 that we absolutely wanted to make it our new nest in the Palisades. And Mark Cohen gave us the best rate, speedy, service in a timely manner. If you don't want to miss that property you love, please don't waste your time and money elsewhere. Give Mark a call as soon as you can, when you start looking to buy. Thank you, Mark, all the blessings to you, for making our dream come through.!!!”

    “ Mark Cohen was exceptional - he is one of the best communicators and professionals I have ever dealt with, and as a lawyer, I have a very high bar. Mark's approach is uniquely personal—he took the time to understand our unique financial situation, preferences, and goals. We had a few hiccups in the loan process, and I will not lie, I tested Mark's patience, but he was a consummate professional throughout. Mark fully commits to his clients. He was always available to answer my (daily) questions, no matter how trivial, and provided updates proactively, ensuring I was never left in the dark. Mark was efficient, courteous, and exceptionally responsive, making what could have been a very stressful process feel surprisingly straightforward. Closing on a mortgage, particularly as a first homebuyer, can feel like an insanely opaque process, but Mark reminded me why you hire the best—it's peace of mind. I cannot recommend Mark Cohen highly enough. Whether you're purchasing your first home or refinancing, Mark should be your first call. ”

    “Thank you so much Cohen Financial Group for helping us with the process of purchasing our first home! We could not have done this without you Mark, and we are endlessly grateful for your hard work, expertise, and the efficiency of every member on your team. You are definitely a one-of-a-kind broker who makes the impossible possible, as you did, to get us approved for a loan and put a huge smile on our faces. People like you are hard to find these days. Not only your are amazing at what you do, but you do it with class and kindness. Hopefully we will meet again in the future for more business, and if any of our friends or family are ever in need of an excellent broker, we will be sure to send them your way. Thank you again Mark Cohen & Cohen Financial Group!”

    “I worked with Mark and Lora- what an amazing experience! My previous mortgage was through BOA and it was a painful experience (same efficiency as the DMV). However, Mark and Lora were extremely efficient to a point that it only took several days! I couldn't believe it. In some places, getting pre-approval can take longer :) Very responsive to all questions and very patient, explaining things in a simple way”

    “Mark and his team have helped my husband and I on three loans, most recently this month as we purchased our “forever” home for our family! I cannot say enough good things about Mark/Cohen Financial. They follow through and do what they say they’ll do. Direct and clear communication. Extremely easy to work with and, importantly, make sure you close on your loan. We’ve been through the experience of having big banks strong us along promising to get it done (after requesting a nauseating amount of information) just to fall through or significantly change terms at the finish line (exactly what happened to us recently). Mark picks up the pieces and moves quickly to save deals and put together a very fair and competitive package at the same time. I’d absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking to secure financing on a property and know you’re getting the best of the best in the business!!”

    “ Cohen Financial Group is simply fantastic.  I was literally in danger of losing my dream home when Mark Cohen and his team jumped in to save the day. They were very professional, super responsive, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the loan approval process.  I cannot speak highly enough of this team.  Thanks to their streamlined process, expertise, and compassion they made sure I was approved in a timely manner.  I would use them again in a heartbeat. ”

    “ Mark and Cohen Financial saved us after we were declined for a mortgage from a national lender. Mark was strongly recommended to me by a friend after I had already committed to the national lender.  Mark nonetheless took my call, despite the fact I was simply seeking assurance I was going to approved. He asked a number of quick and pointed questions, had me upload some data, and within a matter of 15 minutes he determined I was probably going to be declined despite the lender telling me otherwise.  He told me that he hoped he was wrong, but that his knowledge of the lender gave him serious concerns about my status.  He ended by giving me some valuable advice and information about my credit, and the process with the national lender, and told me he'd be there if anything went wrong. Mark was absolutely right.  A month later, we were declined from the national lender. Mark took my call immediately and represented he was pretty confident he could get us covered.  The next morning, before 9 a.m., he called me and told me he had us approved unofficially, but that I could count on him.  Within a few more days, it was officially confirmed by his alternate lender.  He stood by us the entire time.  His team was super responsive and detailed.  And we ended up getting the mortgage at a very good rate. In a way, this review shortchanges Cohen Financial because I'm leaving out all of the specific times Mark and his team stepped in to get us what we wanted and needed.  Mark's energy, insight and "can get it done" capability is obvious from the first 5 minutes you speak with him.  He has connections with dozens of lenders and can get you deep and detailed information from them while you are on the phone with him.  It's a continuous display of extreme competence. ”

    “Mark and his team are excellent. Our loan was complicated with several moving parts and Mark guided my wife and I through the process with patience and efficiency. His relationship with lenders is invaluable as it allows him to cut through the red tape and advocate for his clients. Mark was extremely attentive -- answering my many questions along the way. We have our dream house now. We're thrilled, and we could not have done this without Mark and his team.”

    “Mark knocked it out of the park as our mortgage broker when we bought our home in Calabasas. He got us the exact type of loan we wanted at below-market rates. He is very responsive to texts/calls (even late and on weekends) and he didn't hand us off to anyone. I would recommend Mark wholeheartedly and without reservation, and I plan to use him again when I refi down the road. ”

    “Sasan from Cohen Financial Group is a dream come true! He worked so hard to get me the best rates and executed in no time. All his terms were amazing from the beginning but at the end of it he over-promised and over delivered! Before I found Sasan I shopped around and no one even came close to him. He was always so helpful with getting me the documents I needed for preapprovals and walked me through everything. If you found this company especially Sasan consider yourself lucky! Thank you so much for everything Sasan, you're the best! ”

    “I had a great loan experience thru Cohen Financial. I had to find a new loan because the first lender that me and my wife were working with delayed our loan for more than a month and then unfairly denied us a loan due to a cash gift we got from my mother in law. We fired our original loan officer and when we found Seth Cohen, we were at the risk of having the seller cancel our purchase. Seth promised that he could get us a new loan in 2 weeks and I worked with our agent to get more time with the seller. Although I was hopeful, I was also realistic and I thought that in only 2 weeks it would not be possible. To my surprise escrow got the papers and the loan got funded exactly 2 weeks after we started the process. I think you can expect great service and a knowledgeable team. You should give them a try if you are looking for an honest, reliable and hard-working professional to handle your loan. Good luck! ”

    “Mark Cohen and his team are simply the best in LA! I had 4 loan experts on my deal initially working, and only Mark Cohen with his banking knowledge and relationships allowed me to get my deal through. Two of the other loan experts could not secure a loan and the third loan expert made a statement, which did not make sense. Mark knew exactly what kind of loan I qualify for , explained me the procedure precisely and his team work with me on what documents are needed. It is a fast past no nonsense environment, but if you listen and follow the steps the Cohen financial team will get you your loan. I would recommend them to everyone! ”

    “Cohen Financial is one of the best, best, best companies in Southern California. Mark Cohen, Seth & the entire team are professionals that have helped many Angelinos to realize their dream of home ownership whether as a 1st time home buyers or existing homeowners that are trying to refinance and get a lower rate or are simply investors. Professional individuals appreciate all the hard work that Mark and his company do to get them the best terms available. People who are less educated may come to yelp and blame the sun and the moon for their shortcoming. Simply put you cannot get better service anywhere else. Mark has been one of the most hardworking individuals that I have ever met in my life. All the negative comments that I have read on this site are from individuals that probably do not understand the 1st thing about the financial industry or a financial transaction and they need to blame someone other than themselves for their shortcomings. Having worked myself in the financial industry for over 30 years, I strongly recommend Mark Cohen & Cohen Financial to anybody who is looking for the best to take care of their mortgage transaction needs.”

    “I can’t say enough about Mark and his team. Winstar Mortgage, Wells Fargo and others couldn't get done what Mark did. When they all just inputted data to a loan terminal and out cap a big "rejected", Mark worked with people at the Bank of California and personalized our application and we got the loan and home of our dreams. NOBODY else did it but Mark did!! I will forever be grateful. He said he would get it done and he did.”

    “Mark is a professional through and through. I think he closes more deals than many other brokers but is still available to discuss the details of each case upon request. That is very refreshing. His assistance and other colleagues are also very responsive. I have asked them to draft numerous pre approval letters given that the house buying process is so convoluted and it's difficult to close a deal. I have never had any negative experience despite my numerous requests. I worked with Mark and his team on several transactions now and he has been more than responsive to each and every one of my requests. Now obviously given how many files he has at one time, it's apparent that his time is limited by default but he is very effective and efficient in the way he deals with the questions that are brought to his attention. Mark and his team make sure to fully address the concerns of their clients. ”

    “I would like to give my total support and endorsement for the Cohen Financial Group. My first Sale as a licensed California Realtor was back in 1987, 25 years ago. I represented the Seller and was very nervous about my first transaction. I was very fortunate that the Buyers were refereed to Mark Cohen as their Mortgage Broker. From that moment on I set a very high standard for Mortgage Brokers and Lenders! I thought ALL Brokers would be on time, honest about the credit worthiness and qualifications of their borrowers and get the job DONE if they said they could! Well, I have learned a lot in those 25 years, and have worked with many Agents, Brokers and Lenders. There is only ONE Mortgage Broker I have recommended time after time and only ONE that I know I can trust %100 when he says he can get the loan done. Thank you, Mark, and the whole team at Cohen Financial for years of getting the job done for me and my clients AND doing it with competence, speed, good humor and honesty.”

    “ Mark Cohen was exceptional - he is one of the best communicators and professionals I have ever dealt with, and as a lawyer, I have a very high bar. Mark's approach is uniquely personal—he took the time to understand our unique financial situation, preferences, and goals. We had a few hiccups in the loan process, and I will not lie, I tested Mark's patience, but he was a consummate professional throughout. Mark fully commits to his clients. He was always available to answer my (daily) questions, no matter how trivial, and provided updates proactively, ensuring I was never left in the dark. Mark was efficient, courteous, and exceptionally responsive, making what could have been a very stressful process feel surprisingly straightforward. Closing on a mortgage, particularly as a first homebuyer, can feel like an insanely opaque process, but Mark reminded me why you hire the best—it's peace of mind. I cannot recommend Mark Cohen highly enough. Whether you're purchasing your first home or refinancing, Mark should be your first call. ”

I cannot say enough good things about Mark/Cohen Financial. They follow through and do what they say they’ll do. Direct and clear communication. Extremely easy to work with and, importantly, make sure you close on your loan. We’ve been through the experience of having big banks strong us along promising to get it done (after requesting a nauseating amount of information) just to fall through or significantly change terms at the finish line (exactly what happened to us recently). Mark picks up the pieces and moves quickly to save deals and put together a very fair and competitive package at the same time. I’d absolutely recommend Mark to anyone looking to secure financing on a property and know you’re getting the best of the best in the business!!”

    “Thank you so much to you and your incredible team for helping me refinance, and at the most incredibly fortuitous moment, take some money out, as my entire industry has shut down as I am sure you are aware. My world and the world of my family would be very, very tense and uncertain would it have not been for you and your wonderful team. Immense gratitude!!!”

    “ Cohen Financial Group is simply fantastic.  I was literally in danger of losing my dream home when Mark Cohen and his team jumped in to save the day. They were very professional, super responsive, and knowledgeable about all aspects of the loan approval process.  I cannot speak highly enough of this team.  Thanks to their streamlined process, expertise, and compassion they made sure I was approved in a timely manner.  I would use them again in a heartbeat. ”

    “ Mark and Cohen Financial saved us after we were declined for a mortgage from a national lender. Mark was strongly recommended to me by a friend after I had already committed to the national lender.  Mark nonetheless took my call, despite the fact I was simply seeking assurance I was going to approved. He asked a number of quick and pointed questions, had me upload some data, and within a matter of 15 minutes he determined I was probably going to be declined despite the lender telling me otherwise.  He told me that he hoped he was wrong, but that his knowledge of the lender gave him serious concerns about my status.  He ended by giving me some valuable advice and information about my credit, and the process with the national lender, and told me he'd be there if anything went wrong. Mark was absolutely right.  A month later, we were declined from the national lender. Mark took my call immediately and represented he was pretty confident he could get us covered.  The next morning, before 9 a.m., he called me and told me he had us approved unofficially, but that I could count on him.  Within a few more days, it was officially confirmed by his alternate lender.  He stood by us the entire time.  His team was super responsive and detailed.  And we ended up getting the mortgage at a very good rate. In a way, this review shortchanges Cohen Financial because I'm leaving out all of the specific times Mark and his team stepped in to get us what we wanted and needed.  Mark's energy, insight and "can get it done" capability is obvious from the first 5 minutes you speak with him.  He has connections with dozens of lenders and can get you deep and detailed information from them while you are on the phone with him.  It's a continuous display of extreme competence. ”

    “Mark knocked it out of the park as our mortgage broker when we bought our home in Calabasas. He got us the exact type of loan we wanted at below-market rates. He is very responsive to texts/calls (even late and on weekends) and he didn't hand us off to anyone. I would recommend Mark wholeheartedly and without reservation, and I plan to use him again when I refi down the road. ”

    “Sasan from Cohen Financial Group is a dream come true! He worked so hard to get me the best rates and executed in no time. All his terms were amazing from the beginning but at the end of it he over-promised and over delivered! Before I found Sasan I shopped around and no one even came close to him. He was always so helpful with getting me the documents I needed for preapprovals and walked me through everything. If you found this company especially Sasan consider yourself lucky! Thank you so much for everything Sasan, you're the best! ”

    “I had a great loan experience thru Cohen Financial. I had to find a new loan because the first lender that me and my wife were working with delayed our loan for more than a month and then unfairly denied us a loan due to a cash gift we got from my mother in law. We fired our original loan officer and when we found Seth Cohen, we were at the risk of having the seller cancel our purchase. Seth promised that he could get us a new loan in 2 weeks and I worked with our agent to get more time with the seller. Although I was hopeful, I was also realistic and I thought that in only 2 weeks it would not be possible. To my surprise escrow got the papers and the loan got funded exactly 2 weeks after we started the process. I think you can expect great service and a knowledgeable team. You should give them a try if you are looking for an honest, reliable and hard-working professional to handle your loan. Good luck! ”

    “Mark Cohen and his team are simply the best in LA! I had 4 loan experts on my deal initially working, and only Mark Cohen with his banking knowledge and relationships allowed me to get my deal through. Two of the other loan experts could not secure a loan and the third loan expert made a statement, which did not make sense. Mark knew exactly what kind of loan I qualify for , explained me the procedure precisely and his team work with me on what documents are needed. It is a fast past no nonsense environment, but if you listen and follow the steps the Cohen financial team will get you your loan. I would recommend them to everyone! ”

    “Cohen Financial is one of the best, best, best companies in Southern California. Mark Cohen, Seth & the entire team are professionals that have helped many Angelinos to realize their dream of home ownership whether as a 1st time home buyers or existing homeowners that are trying to refinance and get a lower rate or are simply investors. Professional individuals appreciate all the hard work that Mark and his company do to get them the best terms available. People who are less educated may come to yelp and blame the sun and the moon for their shortcoming. Simply put you cannot get better service anywhere else. Mark has been one of the most hardworking individuals that I have ever met in my life. All the negative comments that I have read on this site are from individuals that probably do not understand the 1st thing about the financial industry or a financial transaction and they need to blame someone other than themselves for their shortcomings. Having worked myself in the financial industry for over 30 years, I strongly recommend Mark Cohen & Cohen Financial to anybody who is looking for the best to take care of their mortgage transaction needs.”

    “Mark is a professional through and through. I think he closes more deals than many other brokers but is still available to discuss the details of each case upon request. That is very refreshing. His assistance and other colleagues are also very responsive. I have asked them to draft numerous pre approval letters given that the house buying process is so convoluted and it's difficult to close a deal. I have never had any negative experience despite my numerous requests. I worked with Mark and his team on several transactions now and he has been more than responsive to each and every one of my requests. Now obviously given how many files he has at one time, it's apparent that his time is limited by default but he is very effective and efficient in the way he deals with the questions that are brought to his attention. Mark and his team make sure to fully address the concerns of their clients. ”

    “There's those who get the loan done really well with no BS and there's those who merely sell us "really well" on their promises of low rates and fast approvals, but end up just delivering only BS. Mark & Cohen Financial get the job done really well. They deliver what you need. If they can't do the loan, they explain why. Great service!”

We bought our dream house right before Thanksgiving and we still had a very short escrow. They made it happen, everyone we dealt with at Cohen Financial was professional, patient and thorough and on top of their game. We are so pleased with our loan; we love our house and it is thanks to all the people who worked diligently on this purchase. Thank you to everyone at Cohen Financial for their hard work.”

Danny and Mark were able to get me an incredible interest rate that I never dreamed possible. They were professional, communicative, and extremely knowledgeable during the entire process. I felt well cared for and valued as a client. I would highly recommend them for any type of loan because of their high level of expertise. Danny was available to answer questions and guide me through the process. Danny and Mark are just great people to work with. A+”
