My husband and I recently purchased an investment property. The home was a short sale and I was mentally preparing for a long drawn out painful real estate process. I admit my anxiety level was higher than usual and with my husband being so busy with work the document gathering fell into my lap. I wasn't too happy about that but Evangeline and her staff kept us (me) on track with their weekly updates, phone calls and emails. I always knew where we were in the loan process. Evangeline worked closely with the real estate agents on several property issues which ultimately saved us thousands of dollars on the purchase price. Thanks to her and her team we were able to close early and I even got to sign documents with my husband out of town. The transaction by far went smoother than I had ever imagined. Kim Passafiume
Dear Evangeline,
You were the only loan officer who could get us a first-time home loan! Honestly, after checking and being rejected by another mortgage companies, you were able to not only get us a competitive-rate but in such a fast and punctual time frame, of which I am still flabbergasted. Your service was extremely professional, ethical, and efficient. All these qualities were done flawlessly, under very difficult circumstances, and we are very appreciative of your extra-effort. Please keep in contact with us and God bless you.
Sincerely, Cyrus & Ava Raafat Sacramento, CA
Dear Evangeline,
David and I just wanted to say thank you again for all of the hard work you and your crew put in to making our loan happen. When our realtor recommended you he said your team worked quickly and we are so grateful that we listened to him and went with Summit Funding. I still can’t believe we were able to meet the 10 day deadline set forth by the bank for the short sale we purchased! Not only were we at risk of having to pay per diem fees but there was also a good chance that the lender would have revoked the offer and placed the property into foreclosure. Thank you so much for getting us into our first home. We will recommend you and your team at Summit Funding to everyone we know looking to purchase a home.
Sincerely, Rosa and David Magaña Citrus Heights, CA
Evangeline and her team are the best! This was my first time purchasing a home and they made it so easy. I have always heard horror stories about the loan process, escrow problems, etc... but not once did I encounter any problems. They took care of everything. The one thing that I liked the best was the Tuesday updates once my house was in escrow. This update always let me know where we were in the process and what things were being done to make sure that all escrow deadlines were being met. Evangeline and her team were always professional and were always quick to return any phone calls or answer any questions. I would highly recommend Evangeline... in fact, I have already referred one of my friends to her!

We’re now happy home owners because of all Evangeline and her team did for us. As first time home buyers our questions were answered and our worries were put to ease. She walked us through the entire process and showed us what we could afford from the very start. She truly went above and beyond to secure our place for us. We knew going into the process that securing a short sale might be tough, but with Evangeline’s help we were able to secure our first home. She met every deadline and even took time out to call us on the weekend! We couldn’t be more happy. Without a doubt we’d refer Evangeline Scott to anyone looking to invest in a home.

We would just like to say working with Evangeline Scott made the process so easy and decreased a lot of our stress and worry. We were considering working with Wells Fargo but they did not pay as much attention to us as I felt we needed and deserved. I appreciated the accuracy of the GFE we received and Evangeline's team was wonderful about calling back and answering all of my questions, which were a lot. I know Evangeline was on vacation for a good part of our loan process but when she was back, we were impressed with how quickly we were able to sign our documents and have the loan funded. I still can't believe we closed 5 days early! That's unheard of!!! Thanks again for all your help, we will be recommending Evangeline to EVERYONE!!!!

Team Scott made the process of selling and buying a home not only easy but fun. Their consultative approach and true concern for their clients' well-being are unparalleled in the industry. All along, we felt like they had our best interests in mind, and we never doubted for a second the decisions we were making. In a profession where honesty and transparency are hard to come by, you will find both in spades in Team Scott."

Our experience with Evangeline Scott and Summit Funding, Inc couldn't have been better. It took us 6 months to find a house we liked and they were with us every step of the way. Every aspect of the loan process was explained to us in words we could actually understand! Any question that came up had a response that same day. Even after the loan had closed on our home, Evangeline still took time with us to help handle a mix-up with the insurance company. The customer service here is truly extraordinary. Eric & Sarah Riha Sacramento, CA
I am thankful that my financial advisor Pat McClain with Hanson McClain referred me to Evangeline Scott. She worked a miracle on getting me refinanced in to a low interest fixed FHA loan after I'd gotten laid off, when I'd been turned down from my current lender Chase because of income even though my payment was not going to change, she is great WAL (what a lady)!
Dorothy Jackson Sacramento, CA
When it was time to refinance, there was no doubt that we would call Evangeline to handle it for us since she did such a great job on the loan when we purchased our house. Even with last minute changes to our loan, we got the rate we wanted and closed quickly and without any hassles or mishaps. Thanks Evangeline!

From the start of our relationship with Evangeline Scott at Summit Funding we knew we were in good hands. Getting funded can be difficult and trying even under the best of circumstances. But with Evangeline and her team, you know it will work out. The words "can't","don't", and "won't" just are not in her vocabulary. She sees every obstacle as a challenge to her perseverance. She is tenacious, tireless, and caring, as is the rest of the Summit Funding team. They know their business, and they ensure their customers are well-versed in the process. Not only were all my questions answered open, honestly, and quickly, but she made sure that I was kept informed at every step. Thanks to them, we are now happy homeowners. I give them my highest recommendation and kudos for a job well done!

I was so blessed to know Evangeline from her husband Phil Scott. I went to her when I was first looking to buy my first house. Little did I know it would take me 8 months to get the house I loved! I went to her office and we sat down and crunched numbers and she set me in a price range where I would feel most comfortable. She even referred me to the Best Real Estate Agent in town, Denise Rooker. Evangeline and Denise work great together. They were patient with me, and understanding.
God really does work miracles. I saw it happen with my house. Evangeline and Kristin were the Angels that made it all come together so quickly.
Stevie Mitchell Sacramento, CA
As a first-time homebuyer I came into the process with major anxiety, but after just talking over the phone with you I felt at ease. I had a very strict budget to work with and you were able to get the loan that fit my needs to a tee. Even three months after close I was able to call you with questions and everything was handled immediately. I will recommend you, Evangeline to all my friends and family!
Thank you-Kristi Roseville, CA
Evangeline,
I must say from day 1 you were the best. You always got back to me immediately when I had questions and never made me feel like I was asking a dumb question. I always felt I was kept in the loop as to what was happening with my loan process and your emails listing out everything I needed to gather were very helpful and became a great checklist for me. I couldn't have asked for anyone better to explain the whole "buying a home" process than you, especially since I'm a first time home owner. It's so nice to say "owner". I would definitely recommend you to anyone who is trying to finance their first home or trying to refinance their current home.
YOU'RE AWESOME!!
Thanks again!!!

We met Evangeline because of our realtors (Carol and Chele) had recommended her. We didn't know who to go through, what to expect or what we were even doing. Evangeline and her staff worked hand in hand with our realtor to get us exactly what we wanted. My wife and I didn't know the first thing about buying a house, we knew we were tired of renting and wanted something to show for it, but we had no clue on how the process worked or what to expect. Evangeline took us step by step through the process, she told us what we would need to do and she explained what she would do. I have to tell you, we think she had the hardest part of all. If we had a question all we had to do was call or email and wham, she'd answer us. At times it really was hard for us to remember that she actually had other clients, the time it took for them to respond, made us think they were sitting around waiting for us to call, they're that fast to respond to you! The customer service that you receive from Summit Funding or Evangeline herself, really makes the whole home buying experience pain free. We send emails to Evangeline from time to time to thank her; I don't think we'll ever be able to fully covey our gratitude. We have referred Evangeline and Summit Funding to everyone we know whether they're buying a house or not. She's that good!

I was a first time homebuyer and I knew what I wanted but now how much I could afford. Working with Evangeline Scott and Summit Funding was the best experience I have ever had. When I first began looking I called Evangeline and told her how much I wanted to spend. It took only a few minutes and some further information and it was taken care of. Not only did she stay within my budget, but she included property taxes and homeowners insurance. Evangeline made it so easy for me to stay in focus and made house hunting so wonderful. Once I found the house and placed a bid she was right there to help guide me. When the offer was accepted, I was given a week to close. Evangeline emailed me a list of what was needed and we were signing the next day. If it was not for Evangeline Scott I do not feel I would be moving into my first home. Thanks Evangeline you rock!

Evangeline,
Although we did not actually sign up for any funding with you, we want to thank you for several valuable services you helped us with. Before, during and after our meeting on both March 19, 2008 and April 10, 2008 you gave us advice and recommendations on subjects concerning both our house financing as well as our personal financial planning for our retirement. On March 19th you gave us both information to help us understand Reverse Mortgages, as well as recommending Russell Trumm to us as a Certified Financial Planner. We asked for help in that subject, related to our need to change the financing on our house. Russell proved to be a great help, and we will be working with him in the future.
On April 10th you also helped us understand the best possible changes we might make on our house financing. We are grateful that you left that decision in our hands.
If in the future we do decide to make changes to our house financing, we will definitely come to you and Summit Funding.
Also, we wish you the very best with you becoming a new mom!
With warmest regards,
Jerry and Janice Troyan Folsom, CA
Evangeline Scott with Summit Funding was the most professional upbeat and positive person we have ever dealt with in the mortgage department. We really went through some tough times trying to get our first home due to the market and flood of short sales and REO's. 8 months later we secured our dream home. Through all Evangeline was a real charm keeping us positive and keeping us well informed. Evangeline always looks out for your best interest! Evangeline did everything possible to keep us in the payment we could afford. Evangeline's integrity, honestly and professionalism are second to none. Evangeline is the best and we would not hesitate to refer anyone considering a home purchase to her. You are truly in good hands with Evangeline at Summit Funding. Thank you so much for everything especially keeping us up when it all seemed to be falling apart. Dreams do come true!
Diane Hayes & Abigail Barajas Santa Rosa, CA
This is my second time using Summit Funding and again they did an excellent job. Evangeline and Kristin are fantastic and were informative, prompt, and were always ready to do extra work for me. I will continue recommending Evangeline and her team to all my friends, family, and clients.
Dustin Neutzling Folsom, CA
Evangeline,
Most of our end of our loan transaction involved routine information gathering and signing as is typical with most of these types of loans. What wasn't typical was the way you worked with our very tight schedules by providing as many options as you could to accommodate us. What was exceptional was the manner Evangeline worked through that last minute financing glitch which would have caused us a great deal of inconvenience as well as a possible financial loss. We felt that you had our best interest as you guide throughout the entire loan process. I hope this is our last refinance since you got us such a great rate, but if not, we'll be back to you for sure.
Thanks for the great service.
Ray and Carol Leonard El Dorado Hills, CA
When my offer was accepted Evangeline asked me to give them the documents need to get the ball rolling. My advice is to have everything that they asked for to them up front. It made my loan go through so much faster. Every step of the way Evangeline and Kristin were there to keep me calm. I can tell you I was one excited client and wanted to know all the details. Evangeline does a Wonderful Tuesday call every week to give status and update of where your loan is. Perfect for control freaks like me! I can’t thank Evangeline, Kristin and Tiffany enough.
