My husband and I…read morejust closed on our first home with Jason by our side, and we truly couldn't have done it without him. His kindness, competence, team, systems, and problem-solving abilities are unmatched. Not to mention, he secured the best rate for us--and we got five different quotes! Our realtor even mentioned he was the best loan officer she has worked with as well. I can't say enough good things about him and his business. Trust me when I say you'll want someone like Jason on your side when you're getting a loan--you won't regret it!

We can't recommend the folks at Rate -- Emily, Jennifer, etc -- enough for their work with our…read morehouse hunt. We previously worked with KeyBank, and they were perfectly fine with the process. However, I don't believe we would have accomplished what we needed to--understanding our budgeting, offering on one home, moving to a different home, and ultimately ending up with a better interest rate and an accelerated closing date--if we had gone that direction this time. Most importantly, though, we valued having someone to connect with who walked us through these processes, communicated genuinely, and acted as a great sounding board to iron out issues along the way. Thank you again to Emily, Jennifer & team for helping us land our dream home and making a super stressful time smoother than it could have been. We appreciate all of your hard work for us.

They really know how important it is to make sure things are precise, accurate and quick in processes like this. I was so nerve ridden and just so anxious I wanted to throw up during the whole process honestly but this team was just on their A game the entire time so I never ran into any issues I was worrying about! Dave and his team were available by zoom, phone call, text or email anytime I needed him and as anxious as I was during this entire process - that meant everything to me! Not only did we get our first ever offer accepted on our dream home, but I got our move in date ramped up by an entire week because of this rock star team! That was amazing, great work to Dave & his team. I can't keep recommending them to our friends, coworkers, etc since it was such a great first experience. He even keeps in touch by sending us recommendations for places to visit or take our family when they come into town.

Our realtor hooked us up with Pam, and she helped us put together an offer quicker than I ever could've imagined. She was terrific to work with. We were first time homebuyers, and she patiently walked us through the process. Pam was totally on point with all her communications. She always made sure we understood our options and gave us super-helpful advice. To my amazement, she even stayed on top of everything when she was on vacation in Hawaii! Like, she literally was taking care of business from Pearl Harbor! I can't recommend Pam and Columbine Mortgage highly enough.

Beware your money is NOT SAFE! I had been with Navy Federal for about one year. My savings and…read morechecking account were drained! Navy Federal replaced my lost money. My accounts were replaced into another account. I changed my login name and password. I was then noticed I was short ~4,000. Another draining of my checking account.

I went to the branch office to unlock my account instead was given a certified check for my balances and said I no longer can bank there. What is bad is that whoever was trying to login to my account was never chased down but I was kicked out! I was considered a BAD RISK!!

On top of the great experience of working with Ghassan, he consistently also comes back with the lowest closing costs and best rates from any other source I checked.

I cannot say enough good things about Marna Deines, who has now been our lender for two home…read morepurchases under Universal Lending. Marna is everything you want in a lender; she's understanding, compassionate and straight-forward. She is honest with you, even when it's hard to hear, but she is the best guide through a stressful process that one could ever have. In addition to being a part of your team, Marna has also been ridiculously professional and efficient. She processes paperwork at the speed of light, often working late and on weekends. She answered every phone call and email within minutes. She helped us work with the IRS, she contacted other lenders and our sellers to smooth out a tough transaction and on a long-pushed back closing day, she not only brought us little gifts, but presented for us, since she knew we were comfortable with her. If it sounds like I'm gushing, I am. Without her, we would not have our dream home, 100%. She worked a miracle for us. Having her as a part of your lending team is like having an ace in your hand; an incredibly smart, generous and patient ace who is also a financial wizard.
