Kathy’s a pleasure
Kathy and her team were timely, efficient, knowledgeable and kind throughout my loan process. I was obtaining a post-closing line of credit to finance a renovation for a vacation home, and we nevertheless obtained a great rate. Highly recommended!

Kathy was very responsive and helped the process along. But the process itself was far from seamless. I do not think the responsibility for this rested on Kathy’s lap. Signing into attachments often didn’t work and documents which I was requested to sign were not always accurate. Kathy is aware of these problems and where the process could be improved.

It was such a pleasure to work with Katherine C Lyon. She is very professional yet very “down to earth”. She kept on top of our loan file and was always in touch with us to move things along. When we called she was available or she got back to us in a short amount of time. She made the process the best it could be. Over the years we have worked with a lot of different people and Kathy is by far the best. We would highly recommend her and her team. We look forward to working with her in the future.

Kathy is the best mortgage loan broker I have ever worked with – and I am picky!! She always delivers, and her transactions are always smooth. She is, quite simply, the best. Don’t ever let her get away! Thank you, Kathy, for taking such great care of me again!! I’m so appreciative – as always!!

You guys were outstanding! Thank you so much for the quick response and professionalism throughout the process. I could not have asked for a better experience.
Michael H.
From start to finish our experience with MCP was outstanding. We were expertly guided though the taxing process of getting the financing for our new home by Kathy – she provided reassurance and patience when answering all the questions we had as the closing date approached. Always timely and responsive I would recommend Kathy to anyone who is looking for a home loan.
Amber S.
From start to finish, the service exceeded any expectations I had. It felt as if I was the only customer with such personal attention and explanations. Kathy and co. all went above and beyond.
Imy D.
Kathy was very pleasant and easy to deal with her prompt responses of our questions. This is a first time for us on refinancing with Kathy and she was referred by my financial advisor and we are very happy with the results and will refer any loan business to Kathy in the future.
Michael B.
Kathy is extremely professional and knowledgeable. This is the second mortgage I’ve completed with her, and both experiences have been very simple and easy. She takes the time to understand your financial circumstances and provide you with the best mortgage solution for you. I highly recommend working with her.

From Day 1 Kathy and her team were amazing! This is my first purchase and Kathy really helped in walking thru the entire process and didn’t mind explaining things multiple times until I understood. The entire team was very patient and made me feel secure and comfortable. When we can into road-blocks with the escrow company, Kathy worked diligently to get everything straightened out and really went out of her way. I appreciate her and her team. Thank you so much! You can tell that Kathy takes pride in servicing her clients.

This is the second loan I’ve closed with Mortgage Capital. Working with Kathy Lyon was so easy. She made the entire process feel very stress free. Whenever I had any questions she responded quickly and with detailed explanations that I could easily understand. I am grateful to have worked with such an experienced professional.
Ryun H.
This was the best experience I have ever had buying a home. Kathy was informative, supportive and a true teammate in this process. Every hurdle we encountered, she was experienced, prepared and showed me how to navigate around it. I initially was going to go directly to a bank, but MCP And Kathy are the only way I would go if I buy again. I am 100% satisfied with Kathy’s service, professionalism, knowledge, and experience. No bank could have made this transaction as smoothe as she did. I am recommending her to all of my colleagues and friends. She is simply the best!!!!!
Kerry M.
I have refinanced numerous times and the experience with Kathy and Mortgage Capital Partners exceeded my expectations and they rate five stars, a rating I rarely give. The application and processing was flawless and painless plus it was completed in record time. I have never had a refi complete this quickly. I was kept informed througout the process and Kathy was always available for any questions. Kudos to Kathy!
Richard F.
The best testimony I can give is to tell everyone involved to use Kathy for future home purchases. My accountant called me the other day and was very pleased about what I had to say. He plans on referring her many more clients.
Judy F.
Kathy did an A+ job. The Escrow Company and both agents have commented on how outstanding she is. The have told me that they are planning on giving referrals to her.
Vicki M.
Kathy Lyon and team made this such an easy process for me to refinance my home loan. I especially appreciated the professionalism exhibited by all and the responsiveness to all of my questions.
Miranda J.
It was a pleasure working with Kathy! She was knowledgable, efficient and very responsive (her replies to my emails were remarkably prompt!). We would definitely turn to Kathy again, and we would recommend her to others.
Tobin A.
Kathy was very helpful and detail oriented. She was patient with our questions and prepared us for every step in the process. She was also able to get us a very good rate and her relationship with the bank proved to be critical.
Joycelyn D.
I have worked with Kathy Lyon for my last 10 home purchases. She is incredible! She makes even the most impossible deal, possible. She is incredibly professional, knowledgable, and gets the job done in record time. I would never work with anyone else. She is simply the best.
Joel W.
Kathy was extremely response to all requests. More importantly she was proactive in getting us ready for the next step in the process which allowed us to gather required documentation ahead of time. Her instructions and explanations were clear and concise, but she was always there to explain things further if required.
Parker S.
We worked with Kathy Lyon at Mortgage Capital Partners and the level of service we received from her has blown us away. We are first time buyers, so the entire home buying process was new to us. Kathy has been very patient and always happy to answer our questions. On top of that, we got a fantastic rate all while keeping our closing costs to a minimum. We even had some unforeseen issues with escrow that Kathy went above and beyond to help us with. We are so grateful that Kathy was referred to us and we will continue to work with her in the future.
Thomas M.
Kathy was very attentive to my wife and I, making the entire loan process smoother than we could have ever imagined. We closed escrow almost three weeks early. I would not think twice in recommending Kathy to family and friends.
Brian T.
Kathy went above and beyond to make sure I qualified for the perfect loan for me. She surpassed all my expectations and looked out for my best interest before, during and after every decision I had to make. Kathy has provided excellent service for my last 2 refinances, which have occurred within a 12 month period. I can’t imagine wanting to go anywhere else.
Stephen W.
Kathy completely minimizes the time involvement of the client. She handles everything she can and recognizes that her clients have their normal lives and commitments continuing while they are attempting to obtain a new loan. This is an extremely refreshing experience.
Kyle L.
Kathy Lyon provided outstanding service throughout my entire experience. She went above and beyond several times, explaining concepts of the process in terms that made it much easier to grasp. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. Thank you, Kathy!
Keith A.
Kathy was unbelievable. My previous bank dropped the ball the 2nd day of escrow and she quickly took the case on and handled it quickly and efficiently. As a first time buyer I was worried about the horror stories of dealing with mortgage brokers and banks and she made every step as easy as possible. Kathy was also always available, returned calls promptly and relieved much of the stress associated with buying a new home.
great experience

Kathy and her team were easy to work with and kept us up to date on every transaction necessary to get our loan done fast. We highly recommend them.
Kathy is smart, strategic and meticulous!
jmholowaty from Los Angeles, CA
Kathy was a pleasure to deal with every step of the way. Our situation was a little more complicated because we are moving cross country. Undaunted Kathy made things happen when they needed to. Everything went as scheduled. I highly recommend Kathy!
Kathy is the BEST!
kylelandin
Kathy helped us with our original loan and we had an excellent experience working with her the first time. She just helped us to refinance our home. The process was way smoother than I expected and Kathy did an outstanding job communicating with us regularly on the progress of our loan. She understood our specific situation and helped us set everything up in a way that is going to be amazing for our family going forward. I cannot recommend Kathy highly enough!
Kathy took all the stress out of the mortgage process
zuser20161003142922046
I never write reviews. However, when someone really amazes me with superior service, I will take the time. We bought in Los Angeles (La Crescenta Schools), which is a crazy competitive market. We needed someone who could close fast. I have never seen anyone work as quick, efficient and clear as Kathy. I always understood what was needed of me and where we were in the process. She was excellent at managing anxiety during the process and I always felt like my mortgage was a sure thing (the only sure thing in the deal!). Thank you, Kathy, for the awesome experience. I know we threw you some curve balls, including a job change in the middle of our escrow! However, you navigated it with such poise and ease. It is clear you have done this a million times and nothing rattles you. Thanks for making our dreams come true!
Excellent Loan Officer
raguselisa from San Diego, CA
Kathy was professional, thorough and responsive. Every communication was clear so we were able to provide her with whatever paperwork or documents she needed right away. Our loan process was seamless and quick and we successfully closed on time.
Great Service !!
holl310 from Los Angeles, CA
She took care of a problem I had with a lien on house house from a debt that was never removed. Paper work went smooth as well. I never even left my house!
SIMPLY THE BEST!!!
mkburton from Ladera Heights, CA
Kathy is extraordinarily talented. She gets it done professionally and is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is direct and a creative thinker. After a number of property transactions this was hands down the most trouble free. Kathy is simply the best!
Magician!
mikewhallmb from Carlsbad, CA
We have worked with Kathy for a number of years now and she does a wonderful job. She is responsive, professional and a joy to work with – she also makes the impossible possible. Our latest home purchase involved two loans and a very tight timeframe, Kathy was always there guiding us through the process and keeping us informed and the end result was the successful purchase of our new home. My wife and I couldn’t be happier with Kathy and her work.
Amazing
amylhernandez from Pasadena, CA
My husband and I cannot say enough positive things about Kathy. Not only was she available every step of the way when we had questions or concerns, we never had to wonder what was happening or what part of the process we were in. Step by step she was clear on what we needed to provide and worked quickly to find a lender for us. With all of the regulations and paperwork needed to buy a home these days, you really need an experienced, knowledgeable, hard working broker and Kathy is all of those things. We highly recommend choosing Kathy as your broker!
Very professional
user1123944 from Los Angeles, CA
This is the second mortgage I’ve done with Kathy. She is very professional and makes the mortgage process as simple and stress-free as possible. I highly recommend her.
Deadline date
afischenich from Simi Valley, CA
We only had 3 weeks to close our escrow, Kathy worked very hard and made it happen. She took my calls during her family time and was on the phone and emails with everyone involved. Great rate and I will give her name to anyone I know that needs a loan.
Amazing
ryunharper from Laguna Beach, CA
Kathy made this loan process very smooth and easy. Every hurdle we would hit, she always had a way to make it over to keep us moving and on track to close on time. She was always available
for questions and gave sound advice. But most importantly, she was as vested in me getting the home as I was. She truly makes you feel that you’re a team and no matter what may occur she will help you weather the storm. I would choose Kathy over anyone. I recommend her 100% without reservation. She truly helped my family achieve a lifelong dream.
Fastest and Easiest Refinance Ever!
hops123 from Home Gardens, CA
Kathy Lyon assisted me with a refinance on my residential property. I have refinanced many times throughout my life and this was undeniably the very best and quickest refinance ever for me. Coupled with the quick closing was the high level of customer service. I was kept informed throughout an easy and painless process and Kathy was always available to answer questions. I rarely give five stars but Kathy and Mortgage Capital Partners clearly earned this rating. Kudos to Kathy and her team.
