- Description
- I am a Mortgage Planner and a REALTOR® Success Coach - specializing in purchase transactions, & establishing mortgage plans for my clients.
About My Practice:
I'm a Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist™, and a REALTOR® Success Coach, specializing in helping my clients put together a mortgage plan and helping them purchase homes. The uniqueness of my practice is that I'm in front of all of my past clients on a yearly basis where my company and I conduct annual mortgage reviews to ensure that their mortgage is putting them on track to achieve their short and long-term financial goals.
The lowest rate on the incorrect strategy can cost thousands of dollars over the life of a loan, so it is vital that someone have a professional managing their family's largest debt.
I need to refer my clients to the top REALTORS®, Financial Planners, Insurance Agents, CPA's, and Estate Planning Attorneys in the area - so if you are accepting business, please contact me so we talk and see if we are a good match to work together!
Coast Mortgage Group now offers small-balance commercial financing as well as reverse mortgages.

My Mortgage Planning Purpose
"As a mortgage planner, I am committed to serving you in helping you make the most informed mortgage decision possible. A mortgage is not just a loan; it is one of your primary financial planning tools.
Unlike a traditional loan officer, my responsibility is to help my clients integrate the loan that they select into their overall long and short-term financial and investment plan to help minimize taxes, improve cash flow and reduce interest expense.
My purpose is to help you create a mortgage strategy that eliminates debt and builds wealth for your family."
When asked about why he loves his role as a mortgage planner, Galel says that "helping a deserving family purchase a home is one of the most rewarding aspects of (his) career. The files in my office are not 'deals' - they are families who are achieving the American Dream! It sounds like a cliche' but, we literally get to make dreams come true. It's such an exciting experience, and the impact we have on their lives is what makes me passionate about what I do."

Testimonials
"Galel Fajardo is the most personable and professional mortgage consultant that I have ever come across..." ~ Aaron Mendez, REALTOR® and client
"We wanted to thank you and your team for handling the refinance of our home with such dedication! We had already been with several companies in an attempt to refinance our home that never worked out either do to their inability or quite simply lack of commitment to see the loan through. Not only were Galel and his team extremely professional, but also added a sense of personalization to our loan. We never felt like just another number in a mass of people trying to refi, but rather felt like he was our personal refinance officer, out to produce for us the best loan for us. And he did! Thank you again, all of you, for making the refinance go so smoothly and seemingly effortlessly (although we know on your behalf it was a task!). Doug and I will most certainly be recommending your company to all of our family and friends."
~ Danielle and Doug Martin, Laguna Niguel, CA
