Wanting to be conservative about my mortgage, I decided to get it directly from Chase Bank - one of…read morethe biggest financial institutions in the world. My family had an established relationship there so we expected to get reasonable treatment. Instead, the process was a complete nightmare and I ended up with a mortgage far worse than I was originally promised based on my financial situation. I reached out to Tracy because I had a bad feeling about how Chase was treating me, and she turned out to be an enormous help. Though my family insisted that I stay with Chase to the end, Tracy remained involved - advising me and filling out a parallel application in case (as she feared) Chase was setting me up for disappointment. It turned out that Chase was acting in bad faith, but they drew out the process long enough that I couldn't switch to Tracy to close. Even when that was clear, Tracy remained involved and advised me in my negotiations with the bank to make sure I ended up with the best deal possible. If I had it to do over again, I, without a doubt, would have called Tracy first. She clearly loves what she does and cares about her clients. I'll be recommending her to any friends looking to buy a house, and will go right to her if we ever decide to buy again. Highly recommended!

That is where Tracy comes in. She found an amazing loan for me. She took into account all aspects of my personal financial situation.

She is very responsive to all types of communication which is a huge relief during the home buying process. I would, without question, or hesitation utilize her for my next home buying experience.

I was very pleased with Blue Water Mortgage. I was introduced to Chad by my realtor early in our…read morequest to downsize into a condo. At the time, I had chosen a nation wide lender, I was familiar with, and they had given me a preapproval letter. Since we were moving from out of state to new Hampshire and even though we were not asking for a mortgage from Blue Water, Chad went out of his way to describe what we could expect at closing on a property in NH. During the search process, I sought Chad's advice several time and he gave it freely. Subsequently, the larger national bank mortgage fell through for technical reasons. We were informed of this only 1 week before closing and we had to scrape up the mortgage money by borrowing against the equity in our brokerage account. After closing, we went back to Blue Water for a cash out mortgage to repay our brokerage loan. I found that Blue Water both were very professional and kept us informed throughout the process. Chad and Ann worked with us and we closed in a very short time, saving us interest payments on the equity loan. We were able to close at a lower rate than we expected. It was truly a pleasure working with both Chad and Ann and we were much more comfortable dealing a company that was more aware of the local real estate market in NH. Cudos to Blue Water Mortgage.
