Rancho Murieta-based. California-wide.
Clear, personal, and a lot less intimidating.
I’m David Trillo, Team Lead at Excel Mortgage Services and a proud member of the Rancho Murieta community. I help homebuyers and homeowners understand realistic financing options that fit their goals and financial situation.
I work with W-2 employees, self-employed borrowers, real estate investors, and retirees. The mortgage world has enough acronyms to fill a bowl of alphabet soup, so I translate the jargon, explain the tradeoffs, and provide responsive, one-on-one guidance—without pressure, jargon overload, or a pop quiz at the end.
