I just closed on a refinance today with Kristina Hubbard at the Albany Pacific Residential Branch…read more What can I say other than Kristina and her team is nothing short of amazing. This was a complicated process and had a lot of moving parts to get us to the finish line of this re-fi. Kristina never once gave up even when I felt like there was a roadblock at many turns she overcame each one. If you want someone that is in your corner and fights hard for you then this is your lender. If you want someone to care for you like you were related to them, then pick them. I promise you are getting the best service out there. Thank you again for everything you did to make this happen for us.

Don't go with them.

Don't listen to them when they say they offer competitive rates; by definition a third party company will take a cut. We had stellar credit, and still had to haggle to get a competitive rate, still above what Quicken gave us in less than a day. Had various last minute issues crop up 1-2 days before closing, where the mortgage company hadn't completed various forms and asked for more info (???). This isn't a local company; don't let the local obsession with local lead you to make a bad financial decision.

Every single person you'll have contact with is so friendly & professional. They keep you informed every step of the way, they answer questions in a way that the least versed person (like me) can understand. After working with Nick Carter & his team for the past 5-6 years, I trust them explicitly and feel totally confident that they helped me make the best mortgage decisions for me and my situation. Whether you are purchasing your first home or your 10th, or refinancing; you won't find a better mortgage company to work with than Nick Carter and his team at Directors Mortgage! Plus, they give great closing gifts!! Thank you Nick & team. There is NO better in my opinion!!

Josh Lenhart and Bonnie Martin made this process so efficient and easy.

My husband and I have worked with Ian at Lighthouse on and off as we were trying to find our…read moreforever home over the last 4 years. Everytime we came to him with a new house procpect he was always willing and open to help us get the best rates and the right loan. When we finally bought our forever home last year he was the one that we trusted to find us the best rate and lender. But that's not all Ian did for us he always went above and beyond during the process. We wouldn't have gone with anyone else. Our loan and situation with the house we were buying was tricky to say the least because it was a probate house (a messy one). He and our realtor worked closely together to help us navigate the sale. It was because of that we were able to acquire our home so smoothly. During the process Ian always took our calls even staying late at the office to talk to us when we had questions etc. He was there with helpful advice about navigating the situation too and was there through the whole process right up until the end. And even though we had a few hiccups with our lender and loan he went personally out of his way to make it right which we are so grateful for. Ian was there right to the end too; even showing up to be there at closing in case we had any final questions about the financial side of our purchase and he was genuinely excited for us in our purchase of our new home and the new adventure for our family. We consider Ian a friend and since our purchase have recommend him and his team at Lighthouse to many of my family and friends. And we would highly recommend him and his team at Lighthouse in Silverton, OR.

Update:. Scott recommend that I pull money out of my 403b to pay for the down payment on my house…read more Unfortunately, he was apparently unaware that to do so incurs tremendous tax penalties. I ended up with a massive penalty equal to the money which I pulled out of my 403b. This seems like something he should've been aware of it and been able to advise me appropriately about and therefore I have lowered my rating.

It was an absolute nightmare as our home was packed and movers were scheduled. I called Scott the following day and he immediately had his underwriters scrutinize the title and there were found to be no issues. Scott and his team (Selisha and Melissa) went to work on my loan immediately. Time was of the essence. Scott was able to close on my loan just a few weeks later. He answered very late night texts to my questions. His knowledge, effort, professionalism, directness and customer service is excellent. I can't recommend him enough! THANK YOU SCOTT!
