THE OPES ADVANTAGE PROGRAM

The Opes Advantage Program guides our clients to make better financial decisions when they are preparing to buy a home, move up, buy a second home, refinance or invest in real estate. We offer our clients the expertise, guidance and advice they need to make wise choices that address both their current lifestyle and their retirement concerns. We help our clients better prepare for their retirement by showing them the impact of their financial decisions and advising them on how to make effective choices.

Using our proprietary Opes Advantage software, our Advisors show clients a complete picture of their financial life, and the short and long-term impact that different decisions can have. Our integrated analysis process enables us to create a personalized financial forecast for each client. Based on the client’s finances, lifestyle and goals, we advise them on how to make better financial decisions.
 
Our process and analysis uncovers:
    • What is the most appropriate purchase price for my home or investment?
    • What would be the best down payment for my situation? What if I put down more? Or less?
    • What impact does my down payment have on my current lifestyle and financial goals?
    • Will I be able to afford my home in retirement?
    • What if I retire at age 65? How about age 67? Or age 55?

Our planning-centric approach, and metric-based advice ensures that clients are given the information they need to make better and more effective financial  decisions.

What Our Team Says...

Russell Barto
Mortgage Advisor
Livermore Branch


"When looking for a good local mortgage banker to work for, I was looking for an innovative and professional group that had products and financial backing to withstand the current market turmoil. I found no others that could match the 3 owners of Landmark. Now that I’ve been with them for almost 4 years, Landmark and Opes Advisors have exceeded my expectations, and helped me bring my production to a new level."


Todd Utikal webtesty

Todd Utikal
Mortgage Advisor
Pleasanton Branch


"The mortgage industry is changing constantly from guidelines to loan options to lenders. Communication and access to accurate information is the only way to survive. I need to give confident answers to my realtor partners, my clients, financial advisors, essentially everyone who calls me with one simple question, “Can we do this?”  Here at Landmark and Opes Advisors I am able to get the answers I need along with the support to do my job and to answer that question with a, “yes we can” or a “no, but here is why.” That communication and access to accurate information has helped me maintain and grow my business relationships in a fun and friendly atmosphere."

"The LMG Livermore Branch has been a great experience. The owners, Todd, Rick and Tony foster a workplace environment of fun, sharing and support for their Advisors. I have found it very unusual in commission-based jobs for the sales people to share ideas and help each other, but that’s exactly what happens in Livermore. Each of the owners has a different way of doing business and the combination of the three makes for a successful office. They are excited about each person’s accomplishments, and encourage them onto the next deal. Our presence in Livermore is becoming better known every day, and I hear real estate agents comment about our office and how glad they are to have access to a local mortgage banking company for their clients. I am looking forward to our continued success."

"Working with Rick, Todd and Tony has been a great experience. I’ve been in the business for about 20 years but rarely have seen such a motivated, knowledgeable and helpful management team. Having the three working together means there is always someone available to address any issues immediately.  They are all producing managers as well, which keeps them abreast on all the changes in our business. I highly recommend talking to “the boys” if you are looking for a place to be supported."
