Scott Gilbert, Melissa and Selisha are miracle workers! There is one word to describe this company…read more- integrity. The day before I was to close on our home with another lender, Freedom Mortgage, we were not able to close on the loan due to a title discrepancy. The movers were there and everything was boxed! It was a nightmare. I called Scott the following day and his underwriters researched the title and it deemed it clean with no issues at all. With Scott's lead, and with his vast knowledge and experience I was able to close on the loan two weeks later! Melissa and Selisha are wonderful to work with as well - speedy, warm, intelligent and kind. I highly recommend this company!

I can't say enough great things about Lighthouse Financial, and especially Scott and Mel, who have…read morehelped us sail through multiple transactions over the years. I was originally referred to Scott by my real estate broker while looking at investment properties in Salem and Keizer. I used US Bank in the past, but most of the big banks have a "mortgage guy" who seems to be asleep at the wheel. But when you work with someone like Scott, who can shop multiple lenders and give you brilliant strategic advice on how to structure deals for the best outcomes, you avoid the assembly line (and inevitable delays) of the larger institutions. What a night and day difference. He is very sharp and moves like lightning. My goals are very different from the regular home buyer, and so I rely heavily on consultative experts who can problem solve their way around obstacles. They know how to work a bigger plan and make sure we are hitting all of our metrics. If I fall short on something, Mel brings the urgency needed to get the deal done. I can't tell you how appreciated that is. That level of focused project management is worth every penny. They really work hard to see around corners for you, and to package things efficiently for underwriting to keep surprises minimal. They are truly masters of what they do. I highly recommend them to any and all REIs who want pros to handle their financing side. This market is too competitive and moves too quickly to have anything less than a top notch financing partner.

The only reason I gave a rating of "five" is because there isn't an option to give SIX!…read more My wife and I have had a lot of experience over the last 23 years buying and selling properties. We had been watching property in a very specific part of town for nearly two years. As our country's financial outlook began to turn gloomy, we decided we'd better pull the trigger quickly before rates went to the moon. A friend we trust recommended Phil Gerstner at Lighthouse Home Loans. We reached out to Phil and the rest is history. Understand, we've bought and sold more than a dozen properties in a couple of decades and we have NEVER had such an OUTSTANDING experience as we did with Phil and his team. We thought for certain we'd waited too long and would pay the price through high rates. Phil shopped our loan HARD and found us several options to choose from that made sense and were manageable for us. Phil took the time to teach us about the process, broke each option down into steps that helped us understand potential outcomes BEFORE we made a decision. We have NEVER had a broker take the time and spend the energy doing this before and we have come to VALUE Phil's thoughtful input. I CANNOT RECOMMEND PHIL AND LIGHTHOUSE LOANS STRONGLY ENOUGH. You will be doing yourself, your family, and your future a huge disservice if you don't at least have a conversation with him, talk about your plans, dreams, and options. Thanks Phil and Lighthouse! We LOVE our new home.

He made every effort to get us the best deal and was constantly giving us good news. I really liked working with Phil and Lighthouse Home Loans. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone.

Lending Partnership With Dealer Led to Unresolved Vehicle Fraud…read more I financed a used 2016 Land Rover LR4 through MAPS Credit Union in January 2025. Unfortunately, my experience has been deeply negative--not due to MAPS directly, but due to their lending partnership with Bridge City Auto Sales and the lack of resolution after multiple requests for help. Here is what happened: * The dealer sold me a vehicle with undisclosed defects: coolant warnings, a completely dead auxiliary battery, and an oil leak confirmed by a certified mechanic. * I reported these issues immediately--via texts, videos, and email. I spent weeks trying to work through it before MAPS even got involved. * Once I informed MAPS, their legal team promised to hold off on credit reporting while investigating. But despite that, the dealer's owner later threatened to repossess the car--something I alerted MAPS to. * I provided proof of a $4,000 down payment that the dealer tried to deny. * To date, despite my cooperation and documentation, there has been no resolution, no loan restructuring, and no protection from threats. MAPS Credit Union has had every opportunity to mediate this or reassess their dealer relationship. I regret that this has led to formal complaints and may lead to legal action. Consumers deserve better accountability in indirect auto lending. All of this is verifiable and documented.

Worst place to have to deal with. Awful customer service. Their website is flawed. If possible,…read moretake your business elsewhere. I regret using them.

I recently purchased a home through the USDA program and Mat Stewart of Rock River Financial…read morehandled the loan. As a first time buyer, I was completely clueless about how the process worked and Mat was always more than patient in answering my questions and concerns, as well as in helping me to correct the numerous mistakes I made along the way. When the listing agent and seller made several serious mistakes of their own, Mat was indispensable in getting the process back on track, spending a great deal more time and effort than is the norm to do so. He never gave up on helping me, and there were many points at which I wouldn't have blamed him if he had, since what should have been a pretty straight forward process turned into a long and arduous ordeal. He even had to secure a new underwriter because the loan became so complicated for various reasons, none of which were his fault. He truly went above and beyond the call of duty to help me move into my dream home, and I highly doubt most loan agents would have stuck by me through all of the mishaps and stressors that cropped up along the way. I can't possibly recommend or thank him enough for all of his help, sacrifice and patience in this endeavor and I feel that I would have given up at several points had it not been for him. If you are in need of a loan agent, you absolutely can't go wrong with Mat Stewart!

I had a lot of questions and they were more than willing to answer every one of them, and responded quickly, too. They were efficient and kept me up to date throughout the process. I found them to be easy to work with and felt like they genuinely cared about getting me the best mortgage - I wasn't just another numbered applicant. I was really impressed with their expertise, honesty, and promptness and definitely recommend them!
