More Than 20 Years of Experience in Home Loans
I started in the mortgage industry in 1996. At the time, I was performing data entry for one of the largest wholesale mortgage lenders in the country. In that role, I learned the ins and outs of lending disclosures and income documentation for borrowers.
That foundation helped me move into a new role as a very knowledgeable loan officer in 1999. I’ve loved every minute, and haven’t looked back since. As the markets have changed over the years, I have evolved with them, moving from the wholesale side of banking to the retail side.
In my current role as a mortgage broker, I get to work with customers directly—which is absolutely one of the most satisfying parts of my job.

I am an experienced real estate investor and have been investing for over 30 years. I have completed at least 20 original purchase / refinances in my real estate career. I have worked with many... different mortgage brokers over the years and I must say that Shannon is at the top. She has completed 3 refinances and 2 purchase loans for me this year.She is cool under fire and her processor, Josh is awesome. They make a great team. She can provide loan options which are very competitive and mostly lower than rates that banks offer.Before you move forward with a bank or another lender, reach out to Shannon. You will not regret it.read more

Shannon is, without a doubt, one of the main reasons that we have a home right now. Especially in Los Angeles, the process of buying was so full of stressful, fast-paced steps — compounded for us... because of our demanding work schedules. Shannon made the process feel so manageable. She took the time to help us understand each step and advise us on how best to proceed. She never shied away from giving us an honest, realistic assessment of each offer and of our overall financial situation. Her experience was clear the whole time we worked with her, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Shannon!!read more

There is not enough that I we could say about Shannon and her team. While most lenders come from the "cold hard math" side of things, Shannon exudes a wealth of knowledge along with a personal and... invested approach to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed every step of the way. Buying and selling a home is clearly one of the most critical decisions as well as the most impactful stresses one could have on their life. We could not be more thrilled to have gone through this process with Shannon as we were put at ease in a time that volatility and competition have plagued the home buying experience. Anyone who is looking for someone with a deep understanding of the market and loan funding who also takes a personal and sincere approach to their work should not hesitate to work with and refer Shannon Christenot as their lender.read more

I’ve been referring clients to Shannon for over ten years and she always does an amazing job! This last transaction she handled for close friend of mine in Calabasas was the most impressive of all!... My clients needed to sell their existing home to qualify for their dream home. When there current home fell out of escrow, it was certain they were going to lose their dream home; this wasn’t an option to let my close friends down. So Shannon and I quickly started to brainstorm on all the possible options to try and make this happen. Within 24 hours we came up with some option and found a path forward. Definitely not easy, but a viable path to make it work. In addition, she somehow got this particularly hard deal to be fully approved and cleared to close two weeks early. In my 18 years of f selling real estate, I’ve never experienced a win this big so quickly, and for some of the most important people in my life. Thank you Shannon for always knocking it out of the park!read more

We’ve worked with Shannon and her team three times and all experiences were stellar. The first was buying our first home and she walked us through the process and explained everything along the way... to help us get quickly up to speed. The second time we were going for a refi in maybe the most turbulent mortgage market ever as COVID hit. She guided us through all the hurdles and worked double time to satisfy all the lenders new requests. We got a rate a full percent lower. The third time we did another refi at another .5% lower and again she got it done in record time. I can’t recommend this team highly enough.read more

My experience with Shannon was off the charts! I represented the buyer in a transaction and Shannon was amazing! When we wrote the offer she promised 10 day(!) loan and appraisal contingencies, as... well as a 21 day escrow! This helped my client get their offer accepted! But even better: Shannon delivered! She always quickly replied to my emails, she answered her phone, and was ALWAYS professional and helpful! I also loved that the emails Shannon and her team sent to escrow were detailed and thorough! I have added Shannon to my short list of lenders that I refer to clients!read more

My husband and I just purchased our first home last month! We were referred to Shannon by our close friend and I am so thankful she was our guide through this process. Shannon was positive and... personable from the moment we spoke. She alleviated our concerns over securing a loan by reassuring us EVERY step of the way that we were on track. She always responded promptly and kindly to my numerous calls and texts, and her confidence was the kind that only comes from someone with years of experience. But for those of you who aren't looking for hand-holding and just want to get the job done, Shannon works so QUICKLY! She and her team moved things forward in a streamlined manner and we were closing escrow in no time. This is EXTREMELY important in a city like Los Angeles where you have to move quickly on your dream home because there are always 20 other offers. I can't say enough good things about Shannon. You would be lucky to work with her!read more

Shannon and team did a yeoman's job pulling my re-fi through in these challenging times. I had had another loan officer trying to work through the underwriters for months on end to little to no... avail. Then I engaged Shannon on a local reference, and she unlocked the key to the underwriters, whatever it was. My re-fi came through with a fantastic rate saving us a ton every month.read more

So two guys own a duplex together in LA and wanted to re-fi in 2020, but then both of these Canadians fled up north to escape COVID and wildfires, that immediately made the process international and...

I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, affordable lender to close their loan!read more
