We use our broad range of resources as well as our expertise to provide our clients with the RIGHT product that fits their needs. We are one of the oldest and most experienced Mortgage Brokers in WI and MN that takes a collaborative approach to mortgage lending. Whether it's USDA, VA, Conventional or FHA. Whether it's a 15, 20 or 30 year note or a hybrid ARM we go to work not only for you but with you, to discover the best mortgage product for YOU. The truth about the mortgage industry is that it has changed dramatically. We are not in the business to grant loans to everyone.

By spending the time on the front end and, often times months in advance, we are able to come up with a solid game plan that ensures our best chance of final approval. We would love the opportunity to work with you on your mortgage options.

At first it was hard to find a new lender, and Eric generously allowed me to explore other options like NACA, but none of them were able to deliver. Eric kept in touch and was always truthful and realistic. Then we were finally able to find a lender who would do what we needed, and after that the refi proceeded quickly and efficiently to closing.

We really appreciate him helping us buy our house! Now if he could only do something about the weather(too much snow). If you are looking for a mortgage broker, you should give Eric a call!

Well, they're a bank. So I'm not sure that anything in this review shouldn't be expected. We have a…read more$500,000 mortgage through Bell that we were going through a amortization process to drop the PMI. We wrote them a $125,000 check. Our own agent told us that if we wrote it for a specific amount that certain fees would be waived or simply wrapped into that amount. After we wrote the check, we were told...oops, that was wrong. And we need another $250 to complete the amortization. This is after they've cashed the checks so I don't have the option to be just as petty as this company is and back out of the process and get my $125,000 back. Bell Bank, are the penny pushers so powerful in your company that you have zero customer care values? Is it worth pissing off your customers this badly over $250 when you make 3/4 profit off interest over the life of the loan?

Do not use this mortgage company unless you want to be schmoozed and then have your concerns and…read morequestions dismissed while ending up with a mortgage rate higher than they profusely promised at the beginning just so you would be convinced to work with them. This was very similar to another customer's experience as well. I noticed the way a lead loan officer badmouthed and blamed his assistant in front of me, while the assistant and some other office worker I never met actually handled the communication and paperwork after the initial meeting. That communication was only when they urgently insisted (through unprofessionally worded and formatted emails) that I sign something right away, despite my questions and concerns about the rate and transaction details. They never talked me through options with respect like any customer deserves; instead, they sent the final rate and also charged me extra money to bring the rate down, but they still couldn't actually deliver on the rate they so proudly promised at the beginning. I understand the rates change; it doesn't give loan officers the right to nonchalantly dismiss their customers' questions and lock in a rate without first consulting the customer. They technically performed a task, but they have miles to go to practice respectful customer service, communication, and honesty. You'd best look for mortgage servicing elsewhere until they get their act together.
