Truly remarkable! Working with Dan Keller and our processor Kelli McNulty was such a pleasant experience for my wife and I when we purchased our dream home in the Pacific Northwest (April 2013)! When our agent (Hannah Pringle with the Ed Finlan Group - Keller Williams Western Realty) introduced us to Dan, we were in the middle of a refinance on our investment property and had not yet listed our home in Texas. So, in all honesty, I was skeptical when my agent recommended that we have Dan give us a call and see what he could do for us on a Sunday afternoon this past March! Boy was I surprised when I actually received a call from Dan ON that SUNDAY afternoon and he said that he would do whatever he could to get us pre-approved by the morning! Dan held true to his word and boy did he deliver! He took down some information and sent me an email linking us to his application package. It was very user friendly and it was easy to find the requested information. Dan worked late into the evening, enabling him and his team to get a jump on our mortgage request at 6:00 am the next day. Due to their hard work, we were able to submit an approved offer that morning with the confidence of having a pre-approval that had already been through underwriting once! That evening I received a personal You-Tube video from Dan explaining our rate options and how we could proceed from there. Still living in Texas, the entire loan process occurred from out of state except for one meeting when I was able to briefly travel to WA and inspect our newly acquired home. Despite the distance, we were kept well informed throughout the entire process and at no point were we pestered with requests for information or documents that we had already provided. This is in stark contrast to past experience with other financial institutions. Their rates are very competitive and we were able to use our VA loan. I would highly recommend Dan Keller (Hometown Lending) without any reservations! Be prepared to receive efficient, passionate, and excellent customer service that will go above and beyond anything that you have come to expect from a bank! Thank you! read more

Dan Keller and his team are completely amazing. I have a bit of experience in mortgage lending (okay, 30 years), and would highly encourage anyone considering a real estate loan (Agents, are you listening?) to use Dan's team for their next transaction. My daughter & her family were in a short-sale escrow to purchase a 1910 duplex. The loan was a bit difficult, as it was a special FNMA program for First Time Home Buyers called My Community Mortgage. Not many lenders are even aware of this program, much less have the knowledge and patience to understand it. It allows low down payments (5%) on duplexes, and the income from the rental unit helps the buyer to qualify. Under this program, some families that could not qualify for a single family home CAN qualify for a home with a rental unit. Sweet, agreed? Anyway, we had finally gotten the short-sale approval with another lender (KN @ "Blue" Mortgage") and, after 90 days into the transaction, their appraisal came back as a single family, NOT a duplex. Obviously not the lender's fault. We spent 2 days trying to work with KN and the "Blue" team. Got property records dating back to 1928 indicating "duplex", etc. Unfortunately, KN turned into a finger-pointing transactional bully, and we knew we had to move on. We reached out to Dan Keller on a Saturday afternoon, with only 15 days left to close. He picked up the phone! I explained the situation to him, and he took a minute to understand what we were asking him to do. He agreed to work with us. After 48 e-mails and two weeks of daily phone calls, my daughter picks up her keys this morning. Dan's team of processors, underwriters and even the funding manager ALL WORKED TOGETHER with our family and the Realtors to make a dream come true! DAN KELLER and his Team exceeded this industry veteran's expectations on a very difficult deal. Our whole family would strongly encourage you to contact him for any questions you have about your new or existing mortgage. read more

We chose Dan as our loan officer when we met him at a beers and home buying class hosted by him and real estate agent Christian Nossum. Our experience was fantastic from the the underwriting process to the final signature in purchasing our home. Dan and his team kept everything smooth, and made the process of going into massive debt almost enjoyable: there was never a time we felt like we didn't know what was going on, there was never a drop in communication, and there was never a point where we were surprised by something. Deciding to buy a home in the country's hottest market is intimidating, even more so when you're a first time buyer. We had some friends who bought just before us, and they went with a large bank. After hearing their story, we knew that a larger bank wasn't for us, and we wanted someone with some local credentials. Dan fit this criteria so we went for him. During the process, we regularly flooded Dan and his team with messages asking for clarification and explanations. Dan would take the time to explain things personally over the phone and would not let anything go until he knew that we were satisfied. Dan and his team regularly kept us in the loop through weekly check in calls. This really helped keep the whole process transparent and helped demystify what was going on behind the scenes. Overall we are very happy we chose Dan and his team. We recommend him to anyone who is considering of buying a home. If we ever enter the market again, Dan would definitely be our first choice. read more

Honestly after reading these reviews I was skeptical about them being fake. Possibly Dan's friends or family trying to hype him up. People do not get this good of reviews. I was wrong; after working with Dan I can honestly say he was great. We had a near impossible situation that most advisors/brokers would have either said no, or said yes and fell short. Dan treated us as if we were his only clients even though we know he was busy with many others. Dan was reachable when we needed him and very pleasant to work with. Any areas Dan had concerns with not being able to meet our requests he disclosed to us immediately. This is refreshing as many others will not let you know until it's too late. At that point you typically can't get a hold of them. Dan never seemed to be about making the sell, rather wanting what's best for us. Dan's rates were great, but I want to mention one thing. One of our "shop around" rates were lower, although after digging further we found it was because the other lender padded other rates/fees to make up for it. If shopping around, look at the rates and fees closely before deciding. My guess is Dan will be able to work with you if he is not already the lowest. I think this guy really has the right idea. Do business right and the word of mouth will praise you and bring you plenty of clients. read more

When it comes to buying a home, small differences between banks can amount to thousands of dollars. Dan locked us into an excellent rate and helped us secure a loan with payments well below our expectations. He secured us an amazing mortgage and made the entire process simple and effortless on our part. He and his team were always available to answer our frequent questions, and when the time came to make an offer on a home, he made sure we could waive financing in order to have a fast close. A lot of the other banks and agents we talked with treated us like we didn't matter, and were generally difficult to work with. This is likely because of the booming market and the fact that another customer is likely right around the corner for them. Dan never treats you like that. His prompt responses let you know that you matter and that he takes your questions and concerns seriously. The fact he also provides excellent financing options and helps ensure you have everything necessary to make the best possible offer make recommending him an easy choice. read more

I am a real estate broker working in Snohomish and King counties. Dan is one of my mortgage guys of choice, and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a loan, especially a loan that is not your "orthodox" type of loan. I had a buyer that fell in love with this beautiful lot and a mobile home on it. Even though I advised him to work with Dan, he decided to try his bank, since they said they could do it. Well, to make a long story short - that bank was just like the rest of them - working INSIDE the box, and ended up denying the loan to my buyer. What do I do next? You are right! I call Dan to the rescue! Dan and his team worked really hard (smart too!) to make this purchase happen. My buyer is now a happy owner of his first home, and Dan and I both celebrated another successful transaction. I could keep going on about Dan's merits from my previous experiences, but a few words stand out: INTEGRITY, HONESTY, RESULTS! If you want to hear more stories, call me up! read more

Dan and his team were absolutely amazing to work with! This was our first time buying a house, so we were nervous and feeling like the process was going to be pretty overwhelming. Dan put us at ease from the moment we met him and explained the process in a way that was easily understandable. He's extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a ton of great info and resources. His entire team was also fantastic and were super responsive in their communications with us. We felt like we had a true partner assisting us along the way and couldn't believe how fast and efficient Dan and his team were able to get us into our new home. We couldn't be happier with the wonderful customer service during our time with Dan, but have also been impressed by the continuing educational services he provides after the fact. We highly recommend Dan Keller and his team at New American Funding and look forward to using them again down the road when we're ready to buy our next home! read more

We really enjoyed our experience with the Keller team. Our situation was a complicated one. We wanted to purchase a home that was for sale by owner, and the seller did not want to use an agent at all. Not the easiest task by any means. The Keller team made our experience as painless as possible. From Dans assistant Jason H. guiding us through the entire process, to Lori L. in underwriting, everything was top notch. Dan and Jason gave us weekly updates as to where we were in the process, and kept us very informed every step of the way. From the very first consultation, to closing and signing at escrow, the treated us amazing. I will recommend the Keller team to anyone I know that is looking for a home. They really treat personably and not like some number. They even sent us a nice little house warming package. Thank you very much to the Keller team. You are all rockstars!! read more

Highly recommended Professional team who know how to get the job done! Excellent Customer Service, Communication, Consistency, "Thinking Outside of the Box" and coming up with Creative ideas are just a few things you can expect from Dan Keller and his phenomenal team! Dan, Jason, Katy, Brie, and Katie are a First Class team! They understand the Mortgage Loan Process and they did an amazing job navigating us through each of the steps of the process. They equipped us with tools such as phone apps and step-by-step videos, in-person meetings and weekly updates recapping accomplishments, action items, and planning upcoming tasks and milestones. They were always readily available to answer any of our questions, and they provided a competitive mortgage rate. All around wonderful group of folks to work with. They gave us peace of mind. Thank you Dan Keller & Team! read more

I highly recommend Dan and his team. Fun and purchasing a home are probably two concepts that cannot be further apart. Instead of being fun, purchasing a home might prove to be nerve-wracking and stressful. Buyers are intimidated by the various dimensions that make purchasing a home troublesome the legal aspects, the financial aspects, dealing with brokers, agents, insurance, and other purchase concerns. The way Dan educates his clients and helps them through the loan process releives most of that. His use of technology with the side by side loan comparison, and video education really helps you visualize and understand the reasons behind the loan you are choosing. All of it adds up to less stress and makes the home buying process back to what it should be which is an exciting, enjoyable one! read more

We found Dan online, read about his credentials and being among leading national lenders under 40 years old, and contacted him about helping us get an FHA mortgage loan after relocating from TX to WA. It turned out to be one of the best things we've done in home-buying and home-financing. Not only has Dan worked wonders with a home loan, but he also gave us a realtor referral, and she turned out to be terrific, too. In a world with so much turmoil and uncertainty, it has been so reassuring to find someone like Dan Keller whose mantra is professionalism, integrity, and trustworthiness. What else could anyone ask for. And the team he has working with him mirrors his professional competency and courtesy. He is just the best at what he does.--Dr. Charles & Jillien Anthony, Camano Island, WA read more

This was our first time dealing with New American Funding and the Dan Keller Mortgage Team. We represented the seller during this particular transaction, and we were totally impressed on their professionalism and video/weekly email updates we received. The video updates were a great way to put a face to their name, and explained the whole lending process from start to finish. We knew exactly where we were at with the buyer's loan and could relay those updates to our seller. They are the first lending company that we have dealt with who actually kept us informed on the listing side throughout the entire process. We barely had to reach out which is such a nice change for once. We would highly recommend Dan Keller and his team to any of our future clients. They nailed it! read more

Dan Keller and his mortgage team are AMAZING. They are extremely responsive, transparent, and unparalleled in performance. When discussing my options for my first home purchase Dan met with me personally several times to go over logistics so I understood every aspect of the home buying process. A service I am greatly appreciative of. Dan and his team managed to score me a fantastic rate. They are in sync with the market and know how to get you the best rates possible. Plus they can close in 21 days or less. If it wasn't for the short closing date, I would have lost the bid on my current house. I beat out 3 higher bids because of Dan and his team's hard work and dedication. I highly recommend Dan Keller and his mortgage team for your next home purchase. read more

Dan provides excellent customer service, I have worked with him for my purchase and refinance each time has been very easy and pleasant. Any time I had a concern or question, Dan was at my service. No matter the time or day and when I didn't have a question he would still check-in with me. With rates so low and higher market rates in my area and would receive several calls from other leaders. They were very aggressive and always try to rebuttal my concerns but when I would talk to Dan he always would say I'm here to provide the best rate and you need to do what's right for you. Dan never pressured me and always had my best interest in mind. If I can to purchase again or re'fi I wouldn't hesitate to contact Dan and I would/do refer him to friends and family. read more

We used Dan Keller and his Team for our mortgage after trying to contact our bank for a home loan. We thought that we needed to use our current "big bank" (Wells Fargo) because they are local, have low rates/fees and already had our checking and savings there. To our surprise, we found Dan Keller on YouTube, his Team's level of service, rates and fees ALL beat Wells Fargo. The way Dan presented mortgage options to us with the use of video and video worksheets blew us away! As an entrepreneur and school teacher (husband) Dan's business practices are truly impressive! We highly recommend that if you are shopping for a mortgage, that you call Dan Keller and his Team. They will save you time, money and a whole lot of stress! read more

We purchased our first home in 2009 and had a great experience with Dan Keller so we decided to contact him again. We bought our home last month and it was once again a great experience. From start to finish we felt confident in the process. Dan and his team answered all of our questions promptly throughout the entire process. When I would stress about something (which I did often), I usually received a phone call right away (not an email) to reassure me that everything was fine. I was impressed with the weekly updates, too. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgable. I knew that no matter who I spoke to that I was taken care of and could trust them. I highly recommend Dan and his team! read more

My family and I moved to Seattle last summer and bought our first home. We have always heard stories of stress and anxiety when it comes to buying a home but that was not the case for us. Working with Dan Keller and his team was quite possibly the best client centric experience we have had working with a professional in any industry. It was top notch and we felt very taken care of. The team was very responsive and we ended up having the competitive advantage when bidding for a home because Dan was our advisor. He personally called the selling party to let them know that our financing was in great shape. That helped our credibility as buyers tremendously. Thank you Dan Keller and Team! The Kelleys read more

Dan Keller and his team far exceeded our expectations during our first home buying experience this past year. His team was extremely communicative and helpful every step of the way, and were always easy to get in touch with no matter when we needed them even if it was late at night or an early morning (call, text, email, etc.). Throughout the entire process we truly felt as though we were getting the best care and that he and his team were advocating for us every step of the way. I can't say enough amazing things about Dan and his team; they made buying a house a fun and enjoyable process (which in the Seattle market is nearly impossible to do!). What an amazing team to work with. read more
