I couldn't be happier with the service I received from Beau Hodson and team. I found Beau as a result of a Yelp search and he definitely delivered. Just like you'll note his responses in Yelp reviews, Beau is super communicative throughout a stressful process. He is calm, rational, and strategic in landing the best possible deal. He was quick to pivot and find alternatives but ultimately landed the best scenario for me. We worked together for about 3 months and his approach was consistent throughout. We have long-term goals that he's kept in mind throughout and already considering for the next move. Thanks to his expertise and my experience with him, I am confident that we'll be successful in achieving our goals. read more

Beau went through several scenarios for my investment property purchase and kept on top of all my deadlines and outstanding documents even for my quick close. Would recommend! read more

I didn't end up originating my mortgage through him, but I just had to come on here and say I HIGHLY recommend Drew Clemans for your mortgage origination needs. Throughout my entire home buying process Drew was generous with his time and expertise, literally every step of the way. His bio mentions that his approach is rooted in education, and that really came through in my experience. He took the time to make sure I understood what was happening and why, which made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. His advice was thoughtful and tailored to my situation, never generic or salesy. He knew I already had a lender but he was still willing to give him time and advice with no strings attached. He also connected me with a homeowners insurance agent who ended up getting me a much better policy than what I was originally planning to sign up for. That referral alone made a huge difference. Drew is the kind of person you want in your corner when you're navigating the home buying process. Knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely invested in helping people. I truly can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Excellent experience with refinancing my mortgage. Beau worked with me over Saturday and Sunday to lock the lowest rate of the last few years because I was concerned that the rates would go up on Monday due to the Iran war that just started that weekend. read more

Beau and his team are true professionals. When our previous lender left us feeling a little neglected and unsure about aspects of refinancing, Beau was accessible, strategic, and thorough. He ended up saving us several hundred dollars per month! read more

Drew was able to provide my husband and I valuable information in regard to the home buying process and home loan purchasing process!!

I worked with Drew as a first-time home buyer, and he honestly made the whole process so much easier. I ask a ton of questions and tend to overthink, but he was patient the entire way through. He was quick to respond (even over text), always kept me updated, and made sure I actually understood what was happening at each step. Most importantly, he gets things done and is always on top of everything. If you're looking for a lender you can trust, especially if it's your first time buying, I definitely recommend Drew and the Transparent Mortgage team. They were great to work with. read more

Choosing Beau was one of the best decisions in our home buying process. We found Beau after researching Yelp and seeing all of his great reviews. We set up an introductory call and could tell that Beau was a great fit. Throughout the next three weeks, Beau explained every step of the process in great detail. He let us know what documents were needed, what to expect, and what pitfalls may lay ahead. Beau got us a very good interest rate. Better than what we found elsewhere by other brokers and at banks/credit unions. We were very impressed Beau's knowledge of the market and historical trends. He encouraged us to lock in our interest rate before the Fed made the announcement to drop the interest rates (he said that historically, rates usually spike after the announcement) we followed his advice and was definitely not disappointed! The rates spiked after we locked in our rate. Beau was extremely timely and responds to questions in an easily understandable manner. The sellers realtor told us that she had never seen someone that can get things done as quickly as Beau. He was very transparent, professional, and responsive. If we ever need a Mortgage Broker again or someone that we know needs recommendations, Beau is 100% our go to person. read more

Beau and Taina were such a pleasure to work with in purchasing my home. Both kept in constant communication with me to keep me informed on the process and Beau kept a vigilant eye on the interest rates so we could lock at the optimal moment. The seller was asking for a very quick closing and Beau was able to effortlessly work with my agent and the escrow company to make sure we met the closing timeline. I've worked with several different lenders in the past, and I can say without hesitation that my experience with Transparent Mortgage has been the very best. 100% recommend. read more

Beau and his team helped me in refinancing my mortgage. I can't say enough about how Good they were to deal with.

I would highly recommend them. -Edward W. read more

I'm a homeowner and a real estate investor, a veteran of 15 or 20 mortgages. I'm focused on good relationships for these sorts of services, but had to find someone new. I found Beau and Transparent Mortgage off of Yelp, and executed a new mortgage I needed in a matter of weeks. I had a number of challenges--I'm a Norwegian resident and presently employed in Norway, for example. From the start, Beau and the team were helpful, and focused on the goal. We wrapped up a week ago, and I have exactly what I needed. And with it, I have a new mortgage broker for next time. read more

Beau is as transparent as it gets. Even though I needed a different type of loan, he went out of his way to refer me to another mortgage lender. I appreciated his help! read more

Amazing! Beau and his staff at Transparent Mortgage are absolutely incredible. This was my first experience in refinancing my loan ... without a doubt, Beau and his team are caring, patient, experts and relentless. Beau truly went above and beyond shoulder to shoulder with me to make sure this is done right. My case was not easy, had a lot of obstacles but the grit and not taking a no for an answer from Beau was the reason why it was done with the best possible result. I 1000% recommend them. And Beau is 1000% amazing at what he does and 1000% a great guy I feel lucky to now know. This will not be a 1 time thing if you work with them, guaranteed! read more

I reached out to Beau with a mortgage question. He let me know immediately that it was outside his usual lane. Instead of giving me the shoulder shrug, he dug in--researching the details, calling on his industry contacts, and circling back with his perspective and thoughts about moving forward. His genuine curiosity & follow‑through was not expected. -- Having my phone ring a couple hours later and him spending a significant amount of time sharing his thoughts was a welcomed surprise. Even a day or so after that he sent me an email that had a paragraph or two of even more thoughts and findings. -This is all for an edge case product/service that he does not offer. If this is how diligently he works for no money, his regular clients must be thrilled. - Needless to say, we have saved his info to use and recommend in the future. read more

Working with Beau for our mortgage was the best decision we made in our home buying journey! We found Beau through Yelp and his previous reviews. We were originally working with a different lender but had many communication problems. We found Beau to be extremely knowledgeable and he was able to clarify the process and steps for us. We were already a week into escrow when we started working with Beau, he was very open and honest with us about potential challenges and also listened to our concerns and expectations. He is extremely responsive, communicates updates promptly, and worked very hard to get things set up for us. He gave us great advice regarding interest rates, we were so glad we listened to his recommendations. Amazingly, we were able to close escrow a week ahead of time! We cannot recommend Beau enough and would definitely work with him again in the future! read more

Beau is hands down the best broker I have worked with. He accomplished what nobody else could: he helped me consolidate my 2nd mortgage and lower my payment, even with a recent dip in my credit score. If you want results, go to Beau at Transparent Mortgage. Highly recommended! read more

So happy my wife and I had a chance to work with Beau and his team. My wife and I were looking to refinance into a lower rate, and Beau was so helpful in helping us through the refinance process. What I really valued was that I never felt rushed to lock into a rate. Beau and I would text daily about market conditions and if it was a good time to move forward, and I really appreciated that transparency. Beau was patient and his timing couldn't have been better for when to lock in. Looking forward to working with Beau again for our family's lending needs. read more

Worked with Beau refinancing my mortgage and couldn't recommend Beau more. Beau understands what is going on in the market and explains it all in terms I could understand and was always willing to get on the phone to answer questions and talk anything through. read more

First time buying a home. Couldn't recommend more highly! Drew Clemens did an amazing job educating us on the process and each step. We spoke with a few other loan brokers out there, but it was quickly obvious that, for one reason or another, maybe just experience and willingness, these guys have access to more creative options. Other places felt like they were just handing us a mass-produced product in their loan/options, while Drew elaborated every option, all the break-even or tipping points on the down payment vs loan vs mortgage payment amounts, kept us apprised of fluctuating market conditions that could affect our rate lock-in, and even advised on when to start selling off some of my other investments to meet funding deadlines. We ended up pulling our dream property out from under a prolonged escrow by offering a shorter 20 day escrow with 10 days to remove all contingencies. Drew contacted the listing agent directly to assure we could fund the loan that quickly, and impart whatever else he could to make our offer as appealing as possible to the sellers. Our property is in a difficult area to get fire insurance, but drew connected us with a his own property insurance agent who was able to get us the same coverage others were offering for about 1/2 the price. Among all the anxiety of the experience, anytime I called Drew, he did a great job restoring sanity to my thought process and cooling my emotions. Dude was my rock through this whole process. Super easy to talk through things with. It felt like working on a project with a close friend. I can honestly say that he was the most valuable member of our home buying experience. Looking forward to having him and his family over once we get settled in! Feel so lucky to have come across Drew, and can't stress enough how appreciative we are to have had him on our team! read more

Beau is super helpful! Willing to sacrifice for his clients. He is very transparent and has great strategies to make everything work for you! read more

We had been evaluating a refinance vs a move for awhile and Beau was recommended. I cant say how valuable his help and guidance in this process has been. Not only did he remember to check in on us repeatedly for almost a year and provide updates and advice, but also was constantly available once we started the actual process. He secured a great rate in the midst of a volatile market. It's a lot of work and moving pieces and we are grateful to Beau for all the time and assistance read more

Beau is very knowledgable! When my husband and I were looking to buy, he was able to present some of the lowest rates we've seen. He also provided us with a useful tool that we could use to calculate our monthly mortgage payment for each house we were considering. Highly recommend Beau and his team! read more

A trusted friend recommended Beau to refinance our mortgage. We had a great experience working with him. He took the time to thoroughly research our situation and was completely honest with us--even when it meant advising against refinancing through him.

His integrity, transparency, and genuine willingness to help were refreshing. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for honest mortgage advice read more

Recently we were shopping for options on a purchase of a new home. After searching Yelp, we found Beau at Transparent Mortgage. Beau has helped make the process less daunting. His knowledge and expertise in his field have proven invaluable. He was able to offer us viable options catered to what our specific needs were. Beau won't try to sell you on something that doesn't make sense. Ultimately the builder was able to offer us better terms, but when it's time to refinance we'll call Beau first. We strongly recommend contacting Beau at Transparent Mortgage if you have financing questions or need help obtaining a loan. read more

Beau is incredible!! He's helped us at least 3 times now, I've lost count because we keep going back to him for refinancing and new projects. Super trustworthy and responsible, won't try to sell you something that doesnt make sense. Highly highly recommend Beau and his team. read more

I called Beau because I'm working with a bank and was not happy with the terms they offered. Turns out Beau is not licensed in the state where I'm purchasing, but that didn't stop him from taking time to walk me through the pricing I *should* be getting, reaching out to see if he could find me a referral, and following up to ensure I have a plan to move forward. Because of his advice, I was able to negotiate with the bank and improve the pricing. I will for sure be back to work with Beau on my next deal! read more

I can't say enough positive things about Beau and everyone at Transparent Mortgage. They helped us through a very challenging situation in our lives with grace and an endless supply of positive energy that they all gave generously. Danica kept everything incredibly organized and up to date every step of the way. There were so many things we were new to during this process and between Danica and Heather they kept kept us informed, updated and educated every step of the way, which means a lot when you're going through a life changing event like we did. I HIGHLY recommend Transparent Mortgage to anyone in need of anything concerning the mortgage world. They're a company that treats people with respect and dignity and keeps the ball rolling all the way to closing. If an obstacle presents itself (as it did... more than once lol) they'll work to find a solution, they wont give up on you! When you meet total strangers in this world that go out of their way to help you, it means more than any words I could write down, and it hits close to the heart. We will always be grateful for all of you. I feel like we should be friends at this point because you were such a huge part of this big change in our lives and our home means the world to us. Thank you Beau, Danica, Heather, Drew and everyone else at Transparent Mortgage you changed our lives.... actually..... "really really" did. OC's read more

We are under contract for a new home, and had financing already in place, but were uneasy about the details and process. Beau took the time to answer my questions, help me understand the process, and ultimately gave me some peace of mind for what we were doing - even though our decisions had already been made. I appreciated his candor and willingness to help us. I will be using Transparent Mortgage as soon as we are in a position to refinance our current loan. read more
