Keith's team got my mortgage refinance finished in less than a month during the pandemic when the first bank failed to get it done in 6 months... I tried refinancing with a promotional offer during the pandemic. It was a disaster. The 1st appraisal had at least a 3 month wait but failed because the appraiser didn't feel experienced enough. I waited another 3 months for the "expert" appointment and he couldn't complete the appraisal either - The expert spent the entire time using the restroom and I had to clean it after... After 6 months with the first company and missing out on the lowest interest rates, Keith's team got it done in under a month!

The folks at Sammamish mortgage including Trevor and Priscilla almost cost me our house. We've…read moreworked with 2 other lenders, including Bank of America and had decent experiences where our lenders were personable and had close relationships with the underwriters. I'm not 100% sure with Sammamish but it seems they are just an intermediary and do not have close understanding of the underwriting process. Trevor was unreachable by phone and would e-mail me back or call back a day later. Priscilla seemed to be off or have a vacation notification on every time I tried to email her. Without warning us, Trevor went on paternity leave the week of closing, and Priscilla left on vacation. We were left with their supervisor who was 100% more competent, but extremely busy. Right before closing, Trevor also told me that we either needed to buy down more interest and pay them more money, which didn't make sense as we bought a house that was 1/2 our purchasing power. Our realtor emailed and called them (we had given consent) without any response and noted they were one of the worst and most nerve wracking groups she had dealt with. We had no idea if we would close on time, even the day of closing. We were living in an AirBnB and not sure whether we would be homeless the next day or if we should book a hotel. When I spoke with Stacey their supervisor about this the day before closing, she said "this isn't even as close as we come sometimes, don't worry!" which made me worry even more. I just found out that they immediately transferred our loan to another bank a month after closing. They have a ton more reviews than other servicers and I would be extremely concerned some of them are fake.

A good mortgage specialist/broker is not easy to come by. The qualities that make Kirk stand out among the rest is his communication, availability, honesty, creativeness, constant updates, experience, knowledge, and willingness to fight for his clients. If you have ever worked with a loan officer or mortgage broker, you know these qualities is hard to find. An example for his ability to be creative and make things happen, I had a client that fell in love with a house in November. She was denied from Homestreet Bank for a loan, but Kirk was able to make it happen after one phone conversation with her. He took the time to understand her financial situation and was able to work his magic to help her get a loan and close on the house. I have no hesitation referring him to any of my clients. In fact, since I've met Kirk, I've referred all of my clients to him. He has helped over 7 of my clients with their home loans. My only regret is not finding him sooner in my real estate career. One of my clients said it best that Kirk is a like a bulldog that is willing to fight for you.

Two years ago he walked me through refinancing, knocked a full point off my rate, laid out every number crystal clear, and made the whole thing painless. Saved me serious cash without any surprises.
