They have the best deal in town! Augustus (and team) were phenomenal and an absolute pleasure to work with! They were systematic in their approach, provided me with great insights, communicated promptly, and always had my best interest in mind. As a first time home buyer, I expected the mortgage process to be tough, intimidating, and likely result in a bad deal. But working with Augustus was quite the opposite. We ended up with an amazing rate were ready to close in 3 weeks, and all closing costs and mortgage payments were lower than expected. Made our home buying process 10 times easier than I expected. read more

I highly recommend Augustus. He's the most competent and knowledgeable lender I know, and he and his team simplify the process.

Augustus used his experience and knowledge to help us all along the process of getting our first home. He took the time to explain and answer all our questions, and provided more support that we could have ever hoped for. I feel glad to have done business with him and his team. read more

Augustus has closed on a refinance and sale for me. He is a wealth of knowledge not just limited to lending, but all things real estate. He always made me feel confident during the process and I will continue to work with him and refer him to everyone. Whether it's your first home, or next investment property, he has the experience to help guide you to meet your real estate goals! read more

Augie was awesome to work with! Never felt pressured at any point during the loan process and was very clear on answering questions/concerns. As first time home buyers my wife and I had no idea what to do and Augie made the process very easy. I will definitely be recommending him to my friends and family that are looking towards purchasing a home. Thank you so much for helping us find our first home Augie!! read more

Augustus is the best I have ever worked with. I have bought many properties over the last decade and can't say enough good things about his knowledge, communication, thoroughness to detail, accountability, availability. He is with you every step of the way, helpful videos. Highly recommend him to everyone. read more

We trusted Augie so completely when we first bought our house we recently reached out to him to refinance. It was a long shot because we already had a great rate. We gave Augie the keys to the car and he held them until the perfect moment and locked us in at an amazing new rate, saving us even more. He was always available to us for questions and advice, but mostly we just had faith he was trying his best to help us, and he more than met our expectations. Thank you! read more

Augustus helped my wife and I get into our first house and he is a great resource for those going through the process for the first time. He will guide and educate you with the utmost patience. We appreciated how easy it was to contact him (always picked up the phone) and he would contact us after a deadline passed instead of waiting for us to call. If you are looking for the best deal Augustus is dedicated to finding clients the greatest savings and also appears to take great pride in knowing he saved his clients money. read more

It was a pleasure to work with Augustus Bukowski on the mortgage to purchase our new home. We are grateful that Augustus kept all of his promises and even beat expectations. We could have even closed early, but he continued to look out for our best interests by encouraging us to close in May. This allowed us to delay our payment until July 1st. We had considered working with USAA and Guild Mortgage. Both of these companies quoted higher mortgage rates. Our agents and I were skeptical of how good of a deal Augustus offered, but we got the exact rate and closing costs he promised. More importantly, it was evident from the first phone conversation, that Augustus is motivated and enjoys his work. His online reviews backed up his claims, and we felt confident he would follow through on his promise to close on time. We were very concerned about this because we actually ended up leaving our current lender to pursue financing with Augustus. Augustus met all expectations, he was responsive, never hard to reach and explained every question thoroughly until we got exactly what we were looking for. Thank you Augustus, you're amazing, and we have already referred you to our friends and family! read more

Augustus is a true class act. His rates were awesome and he went out of his way to make sure my wife and I were completely comfortable with our decision to buy. His sense of humor along with a total understanding of the lending process made our financing a breeze. The last house we purchased there was always a sense of uncertainty when it came to the lender, with Augustus we felt like we were working with a close friend. Hopefully I never move again but if I do or if rates get lower I wouldn't hesitate to call. Highly recommend!!! read more

Augie helped my husband and me with a quick turn around mortgage. It was a bit hectic at the end but he was able to get things pushed through and finalized; close to miraculous actually. Easy to work with and responds well to text and email. read more

Couldn't recommend Augie more! He was invaluable during every stage of our home search, financing, and closing. He was on top of everything during the entire process, making everything as stress-free as possible. He's insightful, timely to respond, organized, and friendly. I'd work with Augie again in a heartbeat. read more

I have known Augie for a long time and immediately felt comfortable with him in business. He was clear and concise throughout the entire process from start to finish. I have heard good things about Augie through mutual acquaintances, and he did not disappoint. At no time did any of the loan terms change negatively. From start to finish everything closed as described. I would highly recommend Augie to other buyers and already have. I was always able to get a hold of him, even on sunny weekends in Seattle. He answered all of our emails and texts in a timely manner and made the process easy for us as first time home buyers. We are so happy in our new home and happy to have done business with Augie! read more

Let me start by saying that it greatly saddens me to write this review, yet I feel it is necessary that I share my experience. We knew there may be a bit of difficulty getting approved for a home loan due to the fact that I had recently finished college about 1.5 years ago and was currently the only one working since my wife and I just had a baby. We had talked to BECU and they told us we absolutely had to wait until that 2 year mark and then after that there wouldn't be any problem purchasing the family property that we were working towards buying. It was far within our budget considering my salary, but it was mandatory we waited until that 2 year mark. Since interest rates were at a historic low, I got the great idea to call a few small lending institutions to see if it was the same case as BECU. Augie was the first that I called and after explaining our situation, he insisted he "knew" there wouldn't be any problems. We ended up going through his whole underwriting process before closing and everything looked great. He was incredibly helpful in the beginning and answered all of our questions and hosted a big meeting to start the beginning paperwork with us as a family. We felt in over our heads and he helped bring clarity. Then everything took a nose dive. Augie left on his honeymoon without letting us know, finishing a crucial piece of paperwork needs to close, or getting his team up to date on it. Over a month later, I was finally able to get him to respond to an email. My real estate agent had been tirelessly calling and emailing, along with myself. He never apologized and said he was filing up the last piece of paperwork and said we were days away from closing. Then the next 7 weeks consisted 8-15 days on end of not being able to get him to pick up his phone to let us know what process we were in. Just incredibly unprofessional. He finally ended up telling us that we were having problems due to my lack of two years in the job... the thing I told him the very first 10 minutes on the phone. He then told us that he found a new way and was writing up the paperwork. I then couldn't then get ahold of him for 2 weeks when i finally told him that we would be going elsewhere to finish our loan. There really are too many details to include. I really liked Augie as a person but he continued to show me that he was lying and stringing us along with the loan and communicating in any way wasn't important to him. I wasn't pestering him... I don't expect a lot. But when he won't respond for over two weeks when you know he's in the office, it makes you wonder. If he just would have been honest about it being too tricky to close until the 2 year mark, we would have stuck around because we did like him. And it would have been a hell of a lot easier for us. Just don't sit there in front of my whole family telling us that this will be a maximum of 2 week closing because it's such an easy family deal and then work us like this. He never once apologized and made it very apparent he couldn't care less when we were leaving and frustrated. A little apology would go a long way. I would not recommend Augie to anyone. You need a LO to give you bi-weekly-ish updates. What a terrible first home buying experience. Thankfully it is a family deal and it won't be sold out from under us. read more

Augie Bukowski went far, far above and beyond what other lenders were willing to and executed a solution to a complicated lending situation. He was a welcome relief after speaking with several other lenders from various companies. He was always responsive (timely and quality of the communication). He also maintains an "investors eye" for the loan process as well as the bigger picture of the deal. I am very thankful for his help. This was not my first time through this process, but it was by far the best. read more

It was such a pleasure working with Augustus. His knowledge and experience were evident in the way he handled our situation. He was able to refinance our mortgage, pay off all our debts (including my student loan that i have been slowly paying since 2004) and get us an amazing interest rate. It was very clear he has mastered his trade. He's our finance guy for life! read more

I liked that Augustus provided frequent updates and detailed replies to questions. Also, I like that he used lists, which made it easy to know exactly where we were at throughout the process. Our home purchase came in under our budget which was our main goal from the beginning. I appreciate the work Augustus did to make that happen in this market. We purchased a Bank Owned property and ran into issues with the Escrow company, Augustus worked with use to overcome those hurdles. We got everything we wanted and more than I expected from the interaction. Would be happy to recommend him to anyone needing a mortgage broker. read more
