SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA--(Marketwired - Feb 7, 2017) - Real Estate Market Reports named Opes Advisors as San Luis Obispo County's leading purchase lender for 2016. The company handled a total of 282 home purchases and 201 refinances last year, placing it in the top spot among local lenders for the second consecutive year.

"We're especially appreciative of our clients and professional real estate associates here in San Luis Obispo County for trusting us with their financing needs. Becoming a homeowner is one of the greatest thrills in life and we are proud to help so many who live here achieve their personal aspirations of owning their own home."

One of the primary advantages of Opes Advisors is that it provides local underwriting and decision-making which means that its mortgage advisors can often respond more quickly to customers' questions.
