My wife and I started looking for a condo in June of this year and our agent said that they love…read moreworking with Wendy and her team so we went with them. We were first time home buyers and what you don't realize is, if you're applying for a home loan, the representatives at the bank do more calculating, document gathering, processing, and running around than anyone else. Wendy and Kristin were on top of everything. When we didn't understand some parts of our application, Wendy took time out to take a phone call from us to lay out exactly what we were working with and could not have been clearer. Lastly, due to circumstances where I was going to be away for work, my wife and I asked if we could close sooner than expected. Wendy and Kristin were on top of it and got it done. We cannot thank them enough for doing this for us and making the experience as easy as it could be. We would use them again in a flash.

Update two. I apologize as I did miss the message from the owner. I've written back to the owner to…read morethe specificity of the claim and will allow him to respond as he sees fit. This again is a review dedicated to the staff of this establishment and the unprofessional way they conduct themselves as representatives of this business, again as called out in the initial review. Update 1. Branch manager decided to call out a fake review without reaching out. The review is true as stated. Un professional as you can see by his response. The encounter I had was not from an inquiry for a mortgage, but simply visiting the compex. Poor business and serious lack in professionalism. The response here is what I'd expect from a child on the internet. Instead of looking to make right they'd rather infer they are right and would never do wrong.

Steve is a snake and you are his prey. They pushed me and my wife to take an interest rate of 5% to…read morehelp cover closing costs, even though we already had money for closing costs. Why? Because they said in general people only have loans for around 5 years before the upgrade. We trusted Steve, and that was a big mistake. That's no reason to take a higher rate. If someone gives you crap advice and then acts as though they're looking out for your best interests, and the law requires it, then you can be sure they're not looking out for your best interests. So everyone else I know got 4 percent or 4.5 at the most and here I am with a 5% loan from Steve. Thanks for nothing.

I started shopping mortgage rates on Saturday, calling all mortgage loan officers with excellent…read morereviews. Not so many loan officers are available during weekends but Dan Chapman's office was open. On Monday I got several rates from different mortgage officers, but Dan was able to lock down the best rate (3.0 no points) for me. For free. Later it appeared to be the best rate I could have had during the last six months. Dan uses special and expensive software which gives real-time alerts for constantly changing mortgage rates and can provide the best rates to his clients. I decided to move on with Dan and it was the best decision I could make. Dan's team works like a clock. He provides a step-by-step plan with the schedule, so that you know what to expect in advance. Every commitment that his team gave (like document delivery or loan submission) was delivered strictly on the scheduled day. Dan's team uses online software for document upload and filling. It is not ideal but simple and convenient. As a first-time buyer, I had a lot of questions during the process, and Dan was always happy to address all of them. If he's not available, he always calls back shortly. Needless to say, I closed on the date that Dan mentioned during the very first phone call with him. There was not a single issue during the process, so I recommend Dan to all my friends. With Dan you can get the best rates and service. Thanks for such a smooth, stress free and transparent loan application process!

We went through multiple options while Dan and his team working efficiently to make sure we could secure a loan we are comfortable with.

Absolutely from now till Mr Baldwin's retirement, I have found the number one person in Washington…read morewho will be handling all of my mortgage needs. Anybody who's planning on getting a mortgage, it's Mr Baldwin. If you need 100% attention on your first loan or anything else dealing with a mortgage, Absolute Mortage is the only place to go. Mr Baldwin has the knowledge and experience in the loan industry. So until Mr Baldwin stops helping people with loans, I will always give Mr Baldwin my highest recommendation. I found Greg very personable, always ready to answer any questions that pop up from time to time. He never made me feel like I was imposing on him, never!! He always takes my questions very serious and gave me the right answer. Always check with him first for your benefit when searching for the right loan. I will be forever grateful for all of Mr Baldwin's help. He is a gentleman and a professional 100 percent of the day. Thank you... Alexander Gallegos...

This review is just for the Everett Branch. Drive-thru…read moretellers are biased and racist. After handing over DL and giving the security code, I am still asked additional security questions. Once, I was asked five additional questions. The one that was way over the top was, "If I worked". No lie! I am only asked these additional questions if I am withdrawing over $500. The camera was broken on the screen, and the teller wanted me to do the chicken dance with my neck because she couldn't see my face. Another time, a teller said, "Will you please look at me?" I asked a teller, why am I always being scrutinized, "its for your protection." The Everett location has some of the most biased and racist drive-thru tellers, and after filing complaints to corporate, corporate isn't much better. If your skin is brown, good luck.

In long They're not right next door to Boeing, but they're very much in the heart of Boeing country, so they put a big bank on a busy corner right here. A dozen tellers, a couple dozen desks behind there, huge lobby, parking lot big enough for a big supermarket. Multiple drive-through lanes around back. I switched over from full-retail banking about 20 years ago. I've had savings, checking, and 4 car loans through BECU now. I've always had a great experience from beginning to end with everything I've used. Car loans They have lower fees, typically much lower, and always get the best available rate. The online experience is very straightforward--even 15 years after paying off the first one, I can still the records when I log in. You can make payments as early and often as you want, and they just automatically deduct what's due from your checking each month. Unless you're wealthy enough to pay cash, it won't get much easier. Checking/savings/Zelle You can orchestrate pretty much any transaction on these accounts from the web or from the mobile app. The website has gotten really strong over the years--easy to set up a debit card, easy to do anything. I noticed a bug in one transaction type about 12 years ago, emailed them, and it was fixed within a day. (They didn't let you pay your line of credit to zero online, but only for a couple days). Onsite services I've always enjoyed each meeting for car loans, and teller service has always been pleasant and efficient. They really do seem to hire people who are pleasant, and I've never stumped them with any question. They're trained well, too. They even have a coin conversion machine in the outer lobby, which you can use even outside of business hours. You can get multiple types of gift certificate or other stipends out of it. I've needed that only once in 20 years, but it was such a convenience when I did. I really appreciate the pleasant people, low costs/fees, and high functionality with BECU.

The office takes the time to go over with you your current mortage/ financial and personal situations to find the best solution for your needs. I really appreciate that they can be honest and say that their services may not be the best option to fit individual needs and help send you to others or let you know your current program is best. A business that cares enough to turn away a client because it would not be in the clients best interest to change loan providers,ect is outstanding. I highly recommend Crane Financial Group and recommend that you take the time to meet with them to see if they may be of value to you. This is one amazingly honest and trustworthy business I am happy to review on Yelp!

They are extremely up beat and positive and just all around amazing. Kris has been doing home loans for over 20 years and she is a pro; not like any of the banks you can get a loan through. We almost gave up on buying a house because of all the run around the banks were giving us. We decided to call Kris and talk with her and I'm so glad we did. She has changed our whole outlook on buying a house. I love Crane Financial Group and will recommend them to anyone I know or see who is looking to buy a house. I have worked with both Becky and Kris and they both have been very positive, helpful and patient will the many questions my husband and I have had and I have no doubt they will continue to help with such great attitudes and willingness.

You can also tell she hustles hard behind the scenes and bends over backwards to help her clients' home buying sail smoothly. One of my purchases was done under a tight deadline and there were extra hoops to jump through. Jennifer's expertise came in handy, as she explored multiple financing options to ensure that I got the best deal possible. I don't believe I would've gotten the same personal and hands-on experience with another loan originator. Jen is also very communicative and around to answer quick questions over email. She also does all of this with good humor and a welcomed calmness. I would recommend Jennifer to my friends and family without hesitation.

They answered all my stupid first-time-home-buyer questions with tons of patience, kept me in the loop the entire time about the process, and just were generally wonderful and pleasant to work with. I will absolutely be using them when it's time to buy my next home. I worked primarily with James and he was phenomenal. They came highly recommended from my realtor who I trust implicitly, and she was right on. The process could not have been more pleasurable, and easy.
