We worked with Sara Blanton, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better lender. Our first home buying experience wasn’t the best, so we were pretty nervous going into this one. Sara made the entire process feel so much easier and was always there to reassure us when we had questions or started to overthink things. My husband and I had what felt like a million questions, and Sara always took the time to answer every one of them. I called her more times than I can count, sometimes at the most random hours, and she always answered or got back to me quickly. She never made us feel like we were bothering her. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and easy to talk to, and we always felt like she genuinely had our best interests in mind. Thanks to Sara, buying our home was such a smooth experience, and we’re so thankful we had her in our corner. We will absolutely recommend Sara to anyone looking to buy a home!

I gave Guaranteed Rate a 10 because the entire process was outstanding from start to finish. Sara Blanton was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive throughout our home purchase. She stayed in constant communication, kept us informed at every step, answered all of our questions promptly, and made what could have been a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. I would highly recommend Sara and the Guaranteed Rate team to anyone looking for a lender.

Sara Blanton was as efficient and helpful as I could ever hope for anyone to be. I had been dealing her for a few years, even when I couldn’t quite afford what I was looking for. She helped me over a very long stretch of time, and was attentive to my needs from start to finish. I just bought a property, and cannot thank her enough.

Chad K.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Sara Blanton both during my first home purchase and now with my first refinance. Sara is extremely responsive and efficient, and always takes the time to explain things to me that I’m uncertain about. On top of that that, she is incredibly kind and joyful, but also realistic. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will definitely be working with her in the future.

To work with Sara and Solano Mortgage was a pleasure. Sara provided options in a professional manner and was by our side through our whole mortgage refinance process. She communicated with us in a timely manner and followed up carefully during every step to the completion of the transaction. Sara's personal qualities combined with her professionalism and expertise not only led to a successful outcome, but it also made the whole experience enjoyable.

Solano Mortgage always comes through for my clients. I cannot say enough great things about Lisa, Sara and Jim. They are prompt and available when I need them to connect with someone interested in purchasing property. Jim Porter is the most knowledgeable guy in the business and I ask him my toughest client and personal investing questions. Such a great resource and they are right here in Vacaville!

Nickole D.

As a first time homebuyer, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the first phone call, all the way through to the end, Lisa, Sara and Jim were phenomenal to work with. Things were always explained in a way I could understand and I always received a prompt response anytime I reached out to the Solano Mortgage team. 5+ stars for them!

Ashlee F.

Sara and the team at Solono Mortgage made the whole process simple to navigate from beginning to end. Everything was well communicated and Sara was very responsive to my questions and inquiries. Her and her team worked hard to find me the best rate and terms for my needs. I would definitely use them again.

To say Sara and the Team at Solano Mortgage has been amazing through the process of refinancing of our home is an understatement. This was the first time we have gone through this process as homeowners (seeing are parents do it in the past) and they made it seemless. They were all very helpful, professional, attentive and wonderful in providing an up to date status of the loan processing. We would would highly recommend Sara and the Solano Mortgage team for any of your home buying and home financing needs.

Marissa M.

Thanks Jim & Lisa Porter!

Ray B.

Lisa Porter and Sara Blanton assisted my wife and I in purchasing our first home. We’re 500 miles away and they had no issues with getting us our necessary paperwork to complete the purchase. They know their stuff and will take great care of you. They have been voted the best in Solano county for many consecutive years. Jim is also hysterical, if you need a laugh check out their Instagram page. Super infectiously positive person.

Michael P.

It's been great doing business with this mortgage company. They treat you like family and are very honest and ethical. They have gone above and beyond (even after hours) to help me with any issues or questions I had. Most of my transactions were with Cheryl Bovee ( who I highly recommend) but the rest of the staff is fantastic also.

Bobbie M.

Solano Mortgage is amazing. Jim Porter made my first home buy quick and painless. I recommend them to anyone looking to purchase or refinance.

Loved working with Jim Porter and his team, great communication and very friendly!

Christina M.

Jim Porter and his team are professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Recently, my clients needed loan counseling about the best options to help them out of a difficult financial situation. Jim met with us and gave us options to consider that proved to be so valuable to solve the issue. We appreciated the vast knowledge and caring attitude that Jim had to help us. As a Realtor, I’ve worked with Jim and Solano Mortgage over 3 decades. Jim and his team bring that personal touch to each loan and help make the home buying process smooth!

Pam W.

When we were looking to buy our first house back in 2017 we used Solano Mortgage. Jim Porter did a great job with getting us the lowest interest rate for the loan. The rest of the Solano mortgage team was great and made the process really easy and smooth for us. We definitely recommend Jim and his team at Solano Mortgage for home buyers!

We have used Solano Mortgage exclusively over the past 15 years for numerous properties. In our 40 years of experience in buying homes, the service, speed and professionalism displayed by their whole team far exceeds any other lender we have ever used. We appreciate working with these friendly local pros, and they really do care about helping you get the property you’re buying. Thanks always Solano Mortgage, you’re the best!

A million and one thank yous! Let me add one more thank you! Sara you helped me keep my home after you successfully achieved a very complicated refinance request. Again, thank you! I am tempted to keep going with my appreciation, but, I must stop, oh gosh, here I go again, thank you, thank you!

Spiro P.

I would 100% recommend Solano Mortgage. Jim and Lisa took time out of their busy schedules to advise my husband and me about an important financial decision we were about to make. They were not typical salespeople - seeking to make a buck at the expense of their client. The advice they gave me actually didn’t benefit them at all. Because of this, I trust them and 100% recommend them for your mortgage needs.

Heather B.

Excellent job! Our new home purchase could not have been smoother or more professional thanks to Jim, Sara, Lisa and the Solano Mortgage Staff. 5 star service from the beginning to the conclusion of our loan. Bob & Pat Parks

Gary G.

Sara was great through every step of the process. Regular updates, always quick to answer questions, and was even proactive in securing funding from another source when the first one was being a stickler about the wording the HOA used. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a home in Solano County Area.

Elliott S.

Great experience from start to finish, we had a unique situation and Sara went above and beyond to help us and keep us informed
