J. Michael Holmes really stood up for us. For the year we worked with him he helped steer us out…read moreof bad situations where he could have gotten paid, but we would have been stuck. He always put our family first. His experience, integrity, and strength were key in helping us close on time. The seller's agent was doing some shady/illegal stuff that jeopardized the whole deal and his fast thinking and integrity helped hold them accountable. He works hard for veterans and advised us in using our VA loan. He knew what to expect from the inspection, etc. If you hire J. Michael Holmes you will not be a victim of the real estate predators out there. He knows what shady looks like and won't stand for it. We wouldn't use anybody else. He truly examples excellence in all he does.

I love how nice and helpful everyone is at this establishment. They went through a branch…read moretransformation during COVID and now they have many smart ATMs that help with all transactions. Inside branches they have guides to help you if you have any questions. I live on the east coast and I love their online and mobile banking apps. Transfers are done within seconds and I have many ATMs I can use here without a fee. If I have any questions I can easily call, chat or go online.

This was such a wonderful place before the leadership changed. Ever since then, they have tanked…read morecustomer service in every imaginable way, including getting rid of as many direct staff who actually help people as they can. This is all while putting out commercials, billboards, and statements about how they offer wonderful customer service. I saw an appalling transaction in the lobby on Summitview in which an elderly woman who had been a customer for decades (she said so) was begging for help, and they just kept telling her how she was now responsible to do everything herself, through the ATM. At the end, in the face of all of her frustration and fear, they smiled at her and said, "Is there anything else we can do to help you?" I felt like going up to the staff member and saying, "What was the first thing you did to help her? You have to help her first, before there can be something else you can do to help." Maybe I should have. We have slowly moved our accounts out, and know several others who have done the same. The leadership seems bent on making this an internet bank instead of a credit union, which is supposed to be there to help its members and not to function like a big bank. Now Solarity functions worse than a big bank. Big banks, for the most part, still have people in the lobby who will help with deposits and withdrawals, and real drive-throughs that are staffed. Solarity now builds buildings to house ATMs that you must use yourself. Now that's customer service! In my life, I have never seen another go so far downhill as Solarity. The saddest part is that it seems to be, it must be, by design.

Escrow Pacific seems to cater to the buyer and not give a damn about the seller. Nearly every month…read morethe seller makes a payment (on the last possible day) and Escrow Pacific does not show it as paid until at least the next day. But it is always pre-dated as paid on time. Then Escrow Pacific for some reason takes 2-3 business days to electronically transfer the funds (direct deposit) to the sellers account. Payments made on Friday the 10th show up as paid on Monday the 13th. Post dated as paid on the 10th. Then direct deposit to my bank account (via Pony Express?) might show up by the 15th. My pay check is direct deposited and shows up 15-30 minutes before midnight the day before payday! They don't have any method of contact other than a phone call (what is this 1970?). When I call them they treat me like a criminal. Horrible customer service. Not friendly at all. I don't have time to wait on the phone. Payment due the 1st of the month with the 10th being the latest. I should have my payment no later than the 11th! I didn't sell the property so Escrow Pacific could babysit the buyer and treat me like shit!

They collected payments and disbursed them, they sent out monthly statements to the Buyer and Seller and did that every month for five years. Then when the balloon payment came due, they helped calculate the amount due, and handled disbursals. And in 5 years not one mistake was made, everything was calculated correctly, and the staff was consistently polite and helpful. Our experience with them was great.

Yakima federal savings and loan was the place we came across when we were looking for a local bank…read moreto help service our home loan. From the home loan perspective they have been very helpful, able to get us a very good rate and have made the process of mobile banking relatively easy. They recently introduced an app it allows you to deposit checks with your phone. This didn't seem like a big deal until we started using it. Admittedly, they are a little behind in the implementation, but it works very well and on the hall has been really nice. The people that work at the branches are helpful and pleasant,making most ordinary banking issues pretty seamless. The reason this local bank doesn't get the five star bump is because they don't offer a lot of the ancillary loan services. After joining, we found out they don't do new or used car loans, and also found out it's relatively difficult to do Interbank transfers. Interestingly, many of the folks who work here we're on aware that the services are unavailable as they seemed pretty basic to normal banks. I'm sure they have their reasons, but it sure would be nice to be able to get all things standard bank related done at one location- c'est la vie! All in all, it's a solid place that does home loans and checking accounts really well, but outside of that, at least for the standard participant, there's not as much offered as we would've expected.
