About Gary Twitchell

With over 40 years of mortgage experience, expertise with all loan programs, and outstanding personal service, Gary Twitchell understands that the most important thing he can do for his clients is to take his time explaining the entire process from the beginning to the end.  As he sees it, making his client's comfortable is his job, helping them with as many loan option scenarios as they want so when they do commit and make a choice, it's well educated. Gary's attention to customer service and communication are his strong suits.

As a former Vice President and Chief Underwriter for one of the largest lenders in the country, Gary Twitchell has been involved in historic changes in the mortgage industry.  His team developed the first adjustable rate mortgage back in 1981 (the fixed market rate was at 17.5% and the ARM allowed consumers to buy at 10%), he was among the first FHA DE underwriters in the state of California, had a two day a week radio show where people could call in with mortgage questions, and did TV commercials about reverse mortgages (even before Robert Wagner).  He views change as inevitable and chooses to roll with the tide, keeping abreast of legislative and other important mortgage banking legislation so he's well informed.

Gary belives in building solid relationships with as many people as possible (you never know who you can help).  It's not beyond him to flip his name badge upside down on purpose, go into crowded places and be approached by a concerned person wanting to help "fix" it.  The conversations that ensue are priceless and many times lead to a referral, loan or lifelong friend.

Named a multi-year Orange County Five Star Mortgage Professional, this exemplifies his outstanding client satisfaction ratings and favorable regulatory and compliant history, as well as exceeding all expectations for number and volume of transactions served.

Gary Twitchell is bilingual (Spanish), offering his expertise in VA, FHA, Conventional and Jumbo Loans.

The data lists the number of all-cash purchases and the total number of home purchases nationwide including the most recent five quarters of data. (Cash purchase defined when a Property Sold record does not have a Mortgage Balance.) Data coverage is limited by available MLS coverage. Certain geographies like Georgia (especially Central GA), South Dakota and Vermont were impacted by this data availability. Land sales and manufactured (MFR) home sales are excluded from the dataset.

"Gary was excellent from beginning to end. He was very informative and patient with us. He gained our trust and ultimately our loan. He educated us along the way as to the process and what to expect. He would even check in with us just to tell us that things were moving along smoothly. We felt informed and confident that everything was going as it should throughout the entire process. We know who to come to next time we need a home loan."

"Gary is an excellent loan officer. He is professional, honest and always has your best interest at heart. I have bought two homes with his assistance and each time he has guided me and explains everything in detail. He does the stressing and I provide the paperwork. Haha. Gary's team is fabulous and efficient. They double check your numbers and ensure that your loan is moving along and is on track. Gary provides updates often and also checks in with you. I recommend Gary for all your loan needs, he will take care of you and give you all the options and guidance you need."
