Having a previous loan processed through Veterans Lending Group, I was finally able to purchase a home after many years of trying unsuccessfully, so I knew the service I would receive would be just what is needed. Prior to working with Veterans Lending Group, I felt the fact I was using a VA loan was putting me at a disadvantage in a competitive market, but this was no longer the case when I went through an org specializing in serving veterans.

Boy was I wrong. Refinancing through Julie Swenson was fast and easy, and had so much less hassle than any prior mortgage. Really, it's hard to even express just how much easier it was. Thanks Julie! You've made a customer for life.

We have been working with Clear Choice as a real estate team for some time now. What our clients…read morehave been happiest with is the consultative approach that their team takes with clients. Tami takes the time to really consult with the clients and if they need to wait to qualify, she actually helps them get a plan to be qualified soon, instead of just moving on to the next person. She really knows what products are out there for lending and makes a very complete search to find the best rates and plans for her clients. We did our last 2 VA loans with her. Byron is great support as well and Jessica takes care of all of the back end details so that the transactions can get to closing smoothly. I'd recommend them every time.

I ran into Heather Fancher, one of the realtors here, when I was driving by addresses of homes for…read moresale. She was closing down an open house, but was gracious enough to allow me to walk through it as she finished. I was not interested, but I took her card and thanked her. A few days later, I called her to see if she would show me some houses. She said yes, but why wouldn't she? She does this for a living. Over the next couple of weeks, we met up three or four times to look at other houses, and then I found what I was looking for! Heather drew up the papers, and got our offer accepted! It was so exciting! We would be living there today if there hadn't been an unexpected snag that caused the deal to fall through. Heather went right back to work for me. We looked at dozens of houses over the next couple of months, and submitted offers on several properties. One day a house I liked came back on the market after an unexpected snag caused a deal to fall through. She met me there, submitted an offer that included repairs of what caused the prior deal to fall through, and got it accepted! This time, there were no snags, and we are comfortably residing in our new home! Working with Heather to buy my home was an experience I will long treasure! She has such a bubbly personality that you can't help but be happy when you're around her, but, when it comes down to business, it is her intellect and capability that make her a gem in her profession! She gets the job done! Now, I've spent a lot of this review bolstering Heather, but I don't want you to get the incorrect presumption that she is perfect. She seemed to always be ten minutes late. It never bothered me that much, but she would always apologize and offer to buy me a latte. It got to be a joke that she would call me to see if I wanted my latte when she got there, and, if so, she would be twenty minutes late! Heather never pressured me, nor did she give up on me. She got me information I wanted, and gave me information I didn't know I wanted. She knew what needed to be done, and arranged all of it. She stayed on top of the process, and dealt with all the snags that didn't cause the deal to fall through. She earned her money helping me buy a house, but she earned also something more valuable than money: my respect and admiration. It was coincidence, not fate, that we met. Still, it was a life changing event, and I feel so lucky that particular coincidence happened!

WOW! I can't say enough about how fantastic it was to work with Richard Clark at Guild Mortgage. He…read morewas recommended by our realtor and I am so thankful he was. Five minutes into my first interaction with Richard I knew he was perfect! I'm a "right now" person and normally a worrier but Richard far exceeded my expectations and that's not easy for many to do. He truly took me by surprise by his knowledge and professionalism! He took time to clearly explain our lending options, the application process, fees, interest rate, inspection, appraisal, closing and recording and more. From start to finish, he covered everything. I never felt confused or left in the dark. He made himself available any time I had a question. It was easy to reach him day or night and he responded quickly every single time. During the process where I was sending requested documentation, he responded either by phone, text, or email to confirm that he received everything. I love that! There was never a day that went by where I felt worried. I was confident in Richard's abilities and honesty. Every single step of the way he explained what was happening and what would happen next. There were no negative surprises. There was one surprise I wasn't expecting, he showed up to our closing! That's incredible! While he was fabulous throughout the process, he didn't just stop there, he attended our closing and even told us to reach out to him if we have any questions during the servicing of our loan. I consider myself very lucky to get to have him available to us throughout the life of our loan. I couldn't be happier. When it comes to communication, follow-up and follow through, Richard is on top of the game! His wealth of knowledge paired with his superior customer services skills and integrity makes him the person I will recommend to friends, family and other realtors. Thank you Richard Clark and Guild Mortgage for making the process of purchasing our home a positive experience that we wouldn't mind doing again and again. Thank you so much!

Saved the day!!!! I…read moream a Windermere real estate agent that was representing sellers in Tacoma. Our buyers loan failed with their original lender and we did not discover this until day 35 into contract on closing day. Sellers kindly agreed to keep the same buyers if they changed lenders and were able to close in less then 30 days (30 day close date extension). So Paul saved the deal. He came in on his white horse helped those buyers when another lender failed and today the buyers got keys and my sellers got paid. So impressed with the Skyline home team. Paul and his assistant Ruth keep you informed throughout the process. They take your calls even if they know it will be a tough conversation rather than dodging the phone. True professionalism. Thank you Wendy Windermere Real Estate.

It's strange to say that he made the process of buying a home easy and stress-free, something not most can say. I truly think that Paul's experience, patience and passion for what he does truly plays a big role. Since the first time we talked and then met in person we had a really good feeling about him. He was always very clear and honest about what he needed from us and what to expect. We didn't come across any surprises and he was always happy to answer ALL of our questions and explain things that we didn't understand (sometimes more than once); he never made us feel pressured. His prompt response to our requests were almost hard to believe. We would request a document and within minutes it would pop-up in my email! Even our real estate agent was in awe and couldn't believe the quality services he provided us. She asked that we pass along his information for her future clients. Given she has been doing this for 10+ years, I took it as a good sign that we had made the right choice by choosing him as our loan officer. My wife and I have nothing but good things to say about Paul and the rest of his team at Finance of America. If you are looking for the BEST LOAN OFFICER in the South Sound, look no further, Paul is the right choice! THANK YOU!!!

Quick, professional, and extremely helpful. Not only did I receive excellent service, but I was…read moreeducated about the process along the way. Most refinancing experiences start with "1,000" pages of documents you have to send off, then you wait. Then you send "600" more, then you wait.Then you send a bunch of copies of what you already sent....just a frustrating experience. NOT HERE, NOT WITH THESE GUYS. I was able to email or upload (no faxes) everything needed in one afternoon. After just a couple of more interactions, I had an approval for my refinance and a scheduled date for closing. It was spectacular. Oh, and competitive? I challenged them to bring the best offer forward and they delivered. After reaching out to three other banks {looking for a better APR and/or lower closing costs} Caliber was overwhelmingly more cost effective. I could not have been happier with my rate and closing fees. Overall a great experience with a great company. I will be thinking about this for the next 30 years....(Fixed term on the loan of course.)

Our realtor recommended Linda Kay because she claimed she could close our escrow in two weeks. When…read moreLunda called to say she found a good interest rate, she also mentioned that she could probably find a better one if she kept digging, but she thought we should go with this one. I asked her to keep digging. When she found a better interest rate, she said, "Well, it's a good thing I decided to keep looking!" Isn't that her job? Linda said that, since our loan amount was so small, we would not have to gather together documentation of all our financial accounts, just two of them, which would save time. But then we had to get documentation of all our accounts! It ended up taking four weeks to close. So, in other words, she is full of false advertising!
