I recently bought a condo and went through Marissa for my loan. She was fantastic, promptly answered all of my questions, and was always looking out for what was best for me. I'll be working with her in the future if I'm taking out or refinancing a mortgage.

Marissa was extremely helpful throughout the process and explained everything in detail and she stays on it! When I was first referred to her, I was a mess, didnt know where to begin or if I could even get a 2nd loan to buy my ex husband out. I am so relieved and secure and proud to share I'm the sole owner of the family home today. Some people you just never forget, Marissa is one of those people. I will be keeping her contact info and will definitely hire her again.

Working with Marissa was an absolute pleasure! As a first-time homebuyer navigating a long-distance purchase, I was initially overwhelmed, but Marissa made the entire process smooth and manageable from start to finish. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and always available to answer my questions—no matter how small. Marissa took the time to explain every step clearly, giving me confidence and peace of mind throughout the journey. Her communication was prompt and consistent, which was especially important for me since we were handling everything remotely. Thanks to Marissa's professionalism and guidance, I felt supported and well-informed at every stage.

Just wanted to send a huge thank you for the amazing help Marissa gave me with buying my new home in California. Being out of state made things tricky, but Marissa was a lifesaver! She made the whole process so much easier than I ever expected – seriously, she's a pro.


The loan closing was a breeze thanks to her, and she was always super quick to respond to any questions I had. She's incredibly professional and dedicated to making sure everything goes smoothly. I can't recommend her highly enough! If you need help with real estate or a home loan, especially if you're buying from afar, she's your person. She totally knows her stuff and will take great care of you.

Marissa is an amazing broker to work with! As first time home buyers, getting a loan seemed hard and scary for us. While working with Marissa, she made the process efficient, pleasant, and very comfortable. Marissa always took the time to explain things in detail (we had lots of questions as first time buyers) and made herself available for anything we needed. From start to finish it was less than a month and we were approved for the loan, got through all the contingencies, and settled in our new home! Even after closing she continues to show support and checks in. She makes us feel that she is very trustworthy and truly cares about her clients. I highly recommend Marissa from Rocklin's Mortgage Brokers!

Highly recommend.

Marissa was fantastic!! She actually reached out to me when I was looking for help among the Citrus Heights community. So from the very beginning I could tell she has a heart for helping others. She was incredibly patient with me and my family as we stood on the ledge as first time home buyers… and was so ready to help us when we finally took the plunge. Timing could not be more perfect as we ended up being qualified for the California Dream Loan. We weren’t even aware it was happening! She was quick on the draw to submit our loan for the funding - so my family was able to land ourselves a home. We appreciate her SO MUCH and I know I don’t have to hesitate to reach out to her for answers or wisdom. Thank you Marissa for sharing with us this amazing opportunity and for being so efficient! We could not have done it without you.

She made a stressful process as easy as possible for us. I will recommend Marissa over and over.

Marissa has been incredible to work with. Her ability to organize every detail is outstanding and her patience to explain everything during the process is incredible. Marissa’s demeanor is fantastic! Not only is she kind and thoughtful, she also has her client’s best interest at the forefront. My situation as an investor is somewhat always a challenge so she was a great resource during my loan process. She will give advice if needed and it comes from a very fair-minded approach. She was always available on the phone if needed and responded very quickly via email or text. I really can go on and on about her service but in short, she’s amazing! Although this is the first time having her do any of my loans, she will definitely be my “go-to person” for future loans.

Ok this review has taken me over a month to actually complete. But I couldn’t say enough about the amount of work Marissa did! I got back on the market to purchase a home, I had bad experiences with lenders in the past and had a bad experience prior to working with Marissa. Her initial phone call was very clear and understandable. I was very up front of what I did not want to get into as we start this process.

Marissa loves her job and you can tell in the level of service she provides. Her efficiency is top notch and her communication is even better. She was able to educate us and guide us in what we needed to do to get ready for our purchase and it all came together with a very smooth and quick 14 day escrow. From our realtor, to insurance rep all found Marissa extremely helpful. Look no further and have Marissa find you the perfect loan!

I cannot say enough positive things about Marisa… She was patient with me, she was kind, she held my hand and explained every detail to every question that I asked. She make sure that your loan is taken care of from beginning to end and what I like the most is that she was very detailed regarding the documents that were needed, there was not a lot of back-and-forth requesting documentation at the last minute. I love the way she worked with my real estate agent and they were in constant communication leaving me out of the loop so that I can work and only called me when needed… All in all Marisa will be doing all my future loans… Thank you Marisa for an amazing experience!
