Listen to Steve on the radio "Dori Monson Show" for years. Finally turned 62 to do a reverse mortgage. Scheduled an interview with Steve. He asked me some personal questions and turned down my business. WOW........ WHAT AN HONEST MAN. Not to get into the fine details but he told me the reverse mortgage would not be right for my family. Like I said WOW. If in the future I have no choice but to do a reverse mortgage. Steve will get my business. Any seniors out there make sure you talk to Steve before signing anything. read more

I have just completed a refinance with Best Mortgage and they have been terrific. Having done this with other companies before, I had some first hand knowledge of how difficult doing a refi can be. I was pleasantly surprised at how good Best Mortgage was. From my first contact via their website through the signing all the documents, the process was so smooth. Cheryl and Nancy kept me informed with the process, they responded very quickly to any questions I had and seem genuinely interested in providing excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Best Mortgage for a VA loan and/or refi. read more

Amazing! Steve and his staff spent no less than 3 hours answering all of my questions about my specific needs and situation. I ended up going with a different lender because I didn't want to have to drive 3 hours each way for business. I believe my experience was made better from the education I received from Steve. Even though I ended up ok somewhere else, I think if I had to do it over again I would have probably gone with Steve. The final sign of awesomeness is the fact they have NEVER spammed me, Robo called or pressured and guilted me in any way. Steve is a class act and a true professional with a great staff. Even though I didn't use them, I felt compelled by their kindness to write them a positive review. I hope it helps someone else. read more

We heard about Best Mortgage on KIRO Radio and we're so glad we decided to go local for our VA cash-out refinance! With the craziness of the season and the historic low interest rates, loans can get bogged down because of so much "home loan traffic" but Steve, Nancy and their team kept us up-to-date and we were able to close before Christmas. Now to get a jump on the renovation we've been waiting for! Thanks Best Mortgage, it was a pleasure! read more

Great company! Best is the best. As it went the last time, you guys are truly professional. Easy, honest and quick. Lisa was great and attentive, Nancy was super hands on and Andrea was persistent and dedicated. If I left out anyone, SORRY! Great company. Steve was not involved in this transaction as he was in the last one, but no doubt his overall presence and philosophy is very obvious! VERY consistent business and customer service! Thank you! read more

After Refinancing with another company I Called to shop around to see where I could get the best rate & Advice for my situation! without hesitation Steve & his team gave me the "BEST" Advice for my situation even though it cost him business! Most companies would just immediately go after the SALE. Because of their selfless service and dedication to our Military and retired men and women it's a great reflection upon Steve himself & BEST MORTGAGE AS A WHOLE. Looking For someone to go to back for you? Look No Further. I Love Working With People who you don't have to look down at their feet to see which way they are going! Very seldom do I listen to the Radio & I just so happen to be tuned in THANKS ONCE AGAIN!! read more

I kept putting off and putting off refinancing my house. The thought of gathering ALL the paperwork was overwhelming. I finally made the call and all it took to get it going was my conversation with Lisa. She made each step easy to understand and seem doable. Next thing I know we are ready to close. I'm so glad I made that call and would highly recommend Best Mortgage. Each person from Lisa to Steve and all the ones in between were so nice and professional. read more

I was in a pinch and needed a home loan quickly. As a first-time home-buyer, I was a bit overwhelmed and uncertain. My VA loan was approved rapidly after I handed-in all the paperwork and I was free to house-hunt with confidence. Not even three months later, I'm in my new home. Steve and his staff were very attentive to my needs always had answers for my questions quickly. I recommend Best Mortgage to anyone seeking a home loan. The whole experience has been fantastic. read more

"Best company I've worked with in a long time and would recommend them to anyone buying or refinancing their home. "

More like Worst Mortgage. I contacted 'Best' Mortgage because they claimed to be VA home loan experts. However I was dismissed quicker than you could blink. I guess I should give a history that they didn't care to hear. I was deployed in 2003-2004 to Iraq. I house shopped online while there and found a wonderful house but it needed work so it couldn't go VA. So I made the mistake of getting a FHA adjustable rate mortgage. Three years later, I was deployed again when that rate adjusted to double the interest rate. Long story short, ruined my credit so I could keep my house and eventually had to declare chapter 13 bankruptcy. Two years after that, I came down on orders to move out of state and put the house on the market. It sat for three years, got broken into, vandalized and eventually I had to short sell it. I move back to Washington and because of all the dings on my credit, landlords would charge high rent and I had no choice but to pay it. So now I'm 100% disabled, have a good job, working on paying down debts, but it's a slow arduous process. If i were able to own a home, I would be paying significantly less for a mortgage than I am paying for rent and that extra money could be paying off debts. Or even refinancing and using that to pay off my debt and maybe I could break even like everyone wants to. Unfortunately, 'Best' Mortgage saw that my score was under 620 and got scared. He kept saying there are other companies that would work with people with low credit scores, but it was too low for them. I would think if they were 'experts' they would be able to do what these other companies supposedly do. This is what's wrong, no one wants to help a vet, we aren't former soldiers to them, we are just credit scores, so until you actually help a vet that needs help, don't claim to be experts, you're just another money hungry, soul crushing, Wells Fargo wannabe. read more

Just refinanced with Best Mortgage. First loan was a success, and the refinance was the icing on the cake.

We have seldom experienced a business transaction so in line with what we were led to expect and what actually transpired. Best Mortgage planned and moved our loan through all processes necessary, resulting in complete satisfaction. They handled unexpected and complicated obstacles with ease and provided timely suggestions that facilitated closure in less time than we were advised. Best Mortgage is truly the BEST!! Bob, Kristen & Reagan " read more

What really stood out to us is when a couple things that were out of Nancy's control, didn't go smoothly, how quickly she was able to adjust things on her end to ensure we would close on time. 30 days is not easy with price negotiations, inspection negotiations and the appraisal. We could not be happier with how everything went with Best Mortgage, especially the communication, professionalism and tireless effort to make things work exactly how you need them to! read more

I believe that you should not write a review in anger, so I have waited a year to write it. We heard about this company on the Dori Munson show. We paid almost 500.00 for our house to be appraised. They strung us along from August 2012 till November. They asked for the same bank paperwork again and again because because it was too old old to use by the time they looked at it. At one point, they lost our file for over a week. When the mortgage rates went down I asked to be locked into the lower rate and was told that we were not eligible. We started with a new mortgage company mid November and it closed in two weeks with a lower rate. The owner of the company called a few weeks later and asked if we wanted the loan still. I told her " No, it was the worst experience of my life" and she didn't even apologize. We lost 500.00 dollars and had to pay for another appraisal. Best mortgage is not the best. Thanks Dori. read more

Closing our loan with Best Mortgage was seamless from start to finish. Having worked with two other mortgage companies in the past, our experience with Best Mortgage was an absolute breeze! Nancy is as professional as they come, she was so helpful throughout the process, her attention to detail and follow through are unmatched. We locked in a GREAT rate & are living in our dream home! Thank you to Nancy & Best Mortgage for making it so easy. read more

They took the time to make us feel like their only client. That means a lot being a first time home buyer.

If you are concerned about a portion of every dollar you spend going to keep Rush Limbaugh on the air in Seattle, you might want to choose a company other than Best Mortgage. In their ad on Rush Limbaugh's show, they are endorsed by Glenn Beck, who says in the ad it's important for like-minded people to stick together, and that Best Mortgage is the only mortgage company he endorses. read more

I would be wary of this company, Steve with whom we spoke, was reluctant to give a quote, and said "trust us". Basically, hand over your money to us and hope for the best. How stupid would that be? He was not upfront, very clandestine. Don't know how a business can operate in this manner. By far, the strangest operation I've encountered. This was the extent of my dealings with this company, it just didn't feel or sound right! I never went beyond the initial "call for a quote" phone call. read more

They were able to save me over 1 percentage point on our refinance with no points. They did every thing they said and were a pleasure to deal with. read more

Spoke to Nancy about doing a cash out refinance. She told me my credit scores were a little too low and that she would contact me in a few months (calling me in the beginning of July) giving me time to build mine and my husbands credit. It's now the end of July and I have not heard anything from her or this company. Good customer service starts with good communication skills and honesty. Neither of which I feel this company or empolyees have. Would recommend to no one. And the only reason they get endorsed by radio company employees and other famous Seattlites is because they know if they do spectacular work for them the little peons of the world will think we will get that same type of service, which is not true. Thank you KIRO radio and Dori Monson for your stellar review of this company, which is in fact a lie. read more

This was the second time we used Best Mortgage. The first time was a mediocre experience, the second time was HORRIBLE! It took over 3.5 months to refinance, our paperwork was "misplaced" twice, and twice the financial facts entered by Best Mortgage was entered incorrectly. I did receive a phone call from the owners after sending an email out of total frustration from not having telephone messsage returned. The week the refinance was due to close, I was told the loan officer I had been unfortunate to have to work with, was no longer with the company. That meant another delay and another person I would have to submit additional information to. I would not recommend this company. I was very disappointed as I listen to KIRO Radio and they often endorse this company. I hope that ends. read more

This company has strung us along for nearly 5 months. The lack of communication, honesty and follow through actually earns this company zero stars. I'm not sure why they think it is appropriate to deal with customers the way they have but I feel like writing this review will help save struggling families like my own, a lot of time and heart ache. (And no, I am not affiliated with the first reviewer...I actually gave Best Mortgage a chance because of the Dori Monson show...thanks a bunch Dori.) The final nail in the coffin has been the most recent fiasco with "Best." At the end of September, they contacted us, told us our rate was locked and that they had scheduled someone to come by our house in 2 days to sign all of the necessary papers to finalize the deal. The day before the person was scheduled to come to the house and have us sign, we were told "just kidding" and that no one would be coming because there was a problem with a bank purchasing our loan. They said they would sort it out. THREE WEEKS later, we have been given the run around, only spoken to when we have tried getting in to contact with them repeatedly and then told everything was "dead in the water" (what the hell does that even mean?). I'm not sure why this company thinks that families in this economy won't miss the savings they had promised but guess what? They DO. AND. If there is a problem and we won't be eligible for the re-fi, why not TELL YOUR CUSTOMERS instead of forcing them to sit around, holding their breath, hoping they can have a few extra bucks to pay for Christmas? Shame on you Best Mortgage. read more

I am submitting a follow up to my previous review. Since my last review I have had the pleasure of working with Best Mortgage again. Unfortunatly the previous owner of the new home I purchased swapped out the motor on a car lift in the shop that was a major purchasing point for the house. I was very fortunate to have taken pictures of the motor when we were shown the house and after we bought it and clearly it was differant. I contacted the sellers agent and my agent and neither seemed to want to help us. I then contacted Best Mortgage mostly because I didnt know what to do. I was very suprised at what I found. the owner of the company jumped right in and contacted the sellers agent both by phone and mail and managed to "convince" them to have the previous owner take care of replacing the motor. Although I know this was an unfortunate circomstance that had nothing to do with Best Mortgage, Best Mortage was more than happy to help out. Again their slogan "Honest Advice You Can Trust" REALLY was just that !! read more

Best Mortgage is NOT THE BEST CHOICE!!!!!!!!!!! We are military veterans with a combined total years of service of over 41 years to this great nation. TheY routinely advertise themselves as the VA experts which is obviously not the case. We started the refinance process in Sep 2012 and it is now Feb 2013 and for the third time after three attempts they again say they cannot complete our refinance. This company is a disgrace to the mortgage industry! And they should be ashamed of themselves for discriminating against unmarried veterans as well as wasting people's time and money with a process and business they obviously have no idea how to operate! They are the kind of company that probably contribute to the breakdown of the housing industry. They sure aren't one to be promoting it very well! Take my advice.........DO NOT WASTE ONE MINUTE WITH BEST MORTGAGE OUT OF BELLVUE WASHINGTON!!! If there was a negative star for a rating choice -- that would be my rating for this horrible company. read more
