Well, they're a bank. So I'm not sure that anything in this review shouldn't be expected. We have a…read more$500,000 mortgage through Bell that we were going through a amortization process to drop the PMI. We wrote them a $125,000 check. Our own agent told us that if we wrote it for a specific amount that certain fees would be waived or simply wrapped into that amount. After we wrote the check, we were told...oops, that was wrong. And we need another $250 to complete the amortization. This is after they've cashed the checks so I don't have the option to be just as petty as this company is and back out of the process and get my $125,000 back. Bell Bank, are the penny pushers so powerful in your company that you have zero customer care values? Is it worth pissing off your customers this badly over $250 when you make 3/4 profit off interest over the life of the loan?

We knew to expect top of the line service with Nick given his 20+ year track record of proven excellence in the mortgage business and the mountain of glowing reviews he receives - but that wealth experience was extremely apparent as he guided us through the mortgage financing process. Start to finish Nick explained the process in detail, what to expect, when to expect it, and proved to be a trusted partner every step of the way ensuring we had every bit of information not only available to us, but presented in an easily digestible manner. Impossible to overstate the value that was provided here, a true professional through and through - would leave 100 stars if I could!

I was referred to them by my agent, and they really delivered without a single hiccup. As a first-time home buyer, I was unsure about using a broker vs going directly to a bank or credit union. I'm glad I decided to stick with the recommendation. They were patient, honest, responsive, and helpful at every step. No question or detail too small or inconvenient. When the sellers asked us to move our closing up by a week, Les said "no problem!". Thanks again to Les and Amy for being so wonderful to deal with.

We recently…read morewent through our first home-buying experience (remotely), and the one thing we were NOT looking forward to was the mortgage loan process - we assumed it would be confusing and overwhelming. Thankfully, we chose Les to be our guide on this journey. He was so patient and explained every single step of the process to us in an easy-to-understand way, which made us feel empowered about our financial decision making. Les is also insanely quick to respond to emails, so if I had a last-minute question, I knew I could rely on him to get back to me with a thoughtful response immediately. I cannot emphasize what a huge difference this makes during the home-buying process, where everyone you work with needs to be on top of their game to get the job done. But above all else, Les is such a kind human. I felt that he genuinely cared about helping us get the house we wanted, and that makes the home-buying process (especially as first timers) that much better :) We're grateful to Les for his tireless work and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in Minneapolis.

She was very responsive with any questions/ requests we had, and she was proactive in getting us any information we needed.

We compared them all, and what stood out to us about the Lisa Wells team was: - It's a team - so while you do work with a few different people during the process, there's always someone available to talk to you. - They offer a $5,000 closing guarantee which we think helped us stand out as reliable buyers in this market. - They provide real estate reports, newsletters, and interactive home-buying dashboards to help you better understand the process. When the time came to put an offer in, the team was there to act quickly. And when our offer was accepted, the communication we received about each step to getting to the closing table was great. It was especially exceptional to work with Kario and Jennie during the process, and our initial chat with Lisa Wells was great as well. They made sure we got what we needed to get done during a very quick close. We may have been able to get a bit of a better rate with another team, and we did have some communication hiccups with a member of the team, but overall we had a great experience - especially as first time homebuyers. To top it all off, the team sent us a moving in care package with some helpful goodies, plus treated us to pizza to celebrate our closing!
