While I was extremely nervous at first, Ryan walked me through every step and was very accommodating to my multitude of questions and concerns. In the end, it was a walk in the park.

Ryan Young and the team at Summit Mortgage have exceptional customer service. You never get the feeling that they are too busy or that they have heard your questions a million times before.

Superior customer service from honest and reliable mortgage lenders…read more I recently bought my first home and thanks to Jodi White and Summit mortgage, I feel like I got a great interest rate and SUPERIOR customer service. Initially I was going to get my loan directly through a major bank and was scheduled to close near the very end of the month. At the beginning of the loan process, this major bank (who, for the sake of anonymity I shall henceforth refer to as "BANK X") also provided good customer service and a slightly higher than average interest rate in exchange for a significant credit toward our closing costs. As the end of the month neared, BANK X suddenly became incommunicado and would not return my calls or emails timely. Apparently once they figure you have agreed to use them as your lender, they have you trapped and they no longer have to be nice. I can take people being rude to me, but what happened next was just unacceptable: 1) BANK X sent me an updated Good Faith Estimate that was FAR HIGHER than the original good faith estimate and with absolutely NO warning 2) When I questioned BANK X about the massive increase, I was given the run around about "points" and "industry changes" 3) Not only did BANK X NOT apologize to me...EVER!...their tone was almost accusatory towards me as if I did something wrong! 4) After all of this, BANK X unable to close before the end of the month despite almost 3 weeks to get the paperwork together Because BANK X couldn't get the paperwork together before the end of the month as we had promised, the seller owed a penalty equal of $1,800.00...which they demanded we pay!!! To summarize, BANK X failed to close on time which had the following consequences: 1) BANK X used it as an excuse to increase my interest rate AND forfeit the credit toward closing costs 2) We had to pay $1,800 in order to make sure we could still buy the house or the seller would walk 3) We had to pay another month's rent where we were living In all, BANK X was a nightmare. I discussed this nightmare with my realtor who recommended Jodi White and Summit Mortgage. I spoke to Jodi who APOLOGIZED for my experience with BANK X and then gave me a quote which knocked BANK X out of the water. Jodi promised me that if I gave her my business, she would close within 3 weeks and that is EXACTLY what she did. When all was said and done, I got such a great deal with Summit, I still saved money even after all of the added expenses of dealing with BANK X. Bottom line, don't concern yourself with who BANK X really is, because if you are not dealing with Jodi White and Summit, you are likely dealing with your own BANK X and you may not yet know it (you soon will). Before choosing a lender, be sure to bargain shop and be sure to give Jodi White a call. I was glad I did.

It was incredibly easy to work with Brian. I had originally been curious about the home buying and…read moremortgage processes, and called Minuteman Mortgage just to gain some insight as a potential first time homebuyer. He is incredibly patient, easy to talk to, and is more than willing to take the time to answer my questions. I ended up applying to be prequalified to start the homebuying process and Brian had anticipated the rates would go up; he was able to secure me a rate before this happened, which was good because by the time I closed, rates had increased. Throughout the whole process, I didn't feel rushed or pushed to do anything, and when it was time to make a purchase, Minuteman Mortgage was very fast in taking care of the lending side of things. I closed early with a rate lower than the current rates, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome and my experiences working with Minuteman Mortgage. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy; they made the process easy and straightforward, which would otherwise be daunting as a first time home buyer.

I was looking for advice on qualifying for a mortgage as a freelancer/self-employed business owner…read more From reading random advice on the internet I was pretty much convinced that I'd have to sell my soul to even think about buying a house. After talking to Dan and Siobhan I found out it would be SO much easier than I imagined. Dan and Siobhan met with me and were incredibly generous with their time even though they knew I wouldn't be ready to apply for a year at least. They gave me excellent advice, answered my questions, gave me worksheets and information, and pointed me to local tax credit programs I didn't find in my own research (like the Portland Mortgage Credit Certificate). I learned that they even teach a home-buying class in their spare time. In short, I am super relieved and very glad I contacted these folks. I look forward to working with them when I'm ready to buy.

It is incredible how fast he works while still finding any possible options or angles that might benefit us. On our most recent purchase we had not been planning to move but found "our dream house". It was in a very competitive market so we needed to act fast. We called Dan in the afternoon and he had our pre-approval letter for us first thing the next morning! Being able to make a quick offer ended up being the key to us getting the house as the sellers were already in contract on their next home. If it wasn't for Dan we wouldn't be in our dream home!

I had been hoping to find a new solution to re-finance all in a big jumbo loan but my credit was just on the bubble.

I can say my family has great security knowing there is no balloon payment waiting to take away our house some day.
