Eric has been a long time contact of mine in real estate having met him back in mid-2003. He's worked with me on my personal purchases and also numerous clients of mine in my real estate business of Team Reba at RE/MAX Metro in Seattle. He is incredibly knowledgeable and stays on top of all the crazy changes that continue to occur in the lending industry. Along with that he's ready to share this info with the public/customers and he's a super nice guy to boot. When we met, he was teaching a class on mortgage lending and he continues to be an advocate of education. If you're looking for a consummate professional who is hard working, smart, communicative, and willing to keep your interests in mind at all times, this is a guy you want in your corner when buying or refinancing a property. read more

I just worked with Eric Aasnes at Wells Fargo to close on a condo purchase. I had taken the quote from Eric but had chosen to go with someone else (Cobalt) but had a bad experience with them very close to the financial contingency deadline and had to urgently go back to Eric. Eric came to the rescue amazingly and was very quick with his communication and the overall loan process went smoothly as he kept me updated with how things are progressing. He made the whole process very comfortable whereas some of the other lenders I talked to seemed like car salesmen. Highly recommended. read more

Surprising that there are not more reviews for Eric Aasness and Allison Potter at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in Tukwila. We recently bought a house in Seattle with their help after rate shopping and meeting with other lenders including another bank and a mortgage broker. Not only did these guys have the lowest rates and unbelievably low fees, their speed and customer service was as solid as a rock. Most of my lengthy emails were answered within minutes, even late at night on a Sunday before our offer, and always within 24-hours. Interest rates dropped a bit after our rate lock about two weeks before our close, but Allison was able to lower our rate literally within minutes of my contacting her. She made herself available by both email and cell phone and went through every detail of the paperwork with me, at times more than once. Once our offer was accepted, our home purchase and mortgage proceeded far more smoothly than we ever anticipated thanks in large part to Allison, Eric and their team. read more

Went there to get some help for refinancing. The lady there said she was too busy to help me and told me to give her my phone number, name, and SSN. She said she'll look up my info and get back to me in the afternoon on that day. I never heard anything from her since then. It was like 2 months ago. read more

Awful. Simply awful. Eric claimed to be n expert in 401 K renovation loans. And he was NOT. If you're thinking of getting a loan from Eric, do yourself a favor and don't. You'll be sorry. My partner and I sure were. Our problems with our loan continue nearly a year after we closed. read more

Although Eric is now with HomeStreet I wanted to make sure I left this review. We used Eric as our lender for our home we will be closing on this Friday :) He was extremely knowledgeable and was very helpful throughout the process. Although we are already home owners we are much closer to "first timers" in the understanding of mortgages. On our 1st house we were just so excited to sign we never really asked what we were signed. This time around we were bound and determined to understand the process and the loan docs (line by line). Eric was extremely responsive and took the time to explain in detail answers to all the questions we had. We had also been told by many lenders we were either not ready for a refi or couldn't do a refi on the home we currently have as a rental. Eric took the time to listen to exactly what type of mortgage we had and what our goals were. To our surprise the loan we had on the home was eligible for a refi. No other lender we spoke with asked what type of loan we had on the home. So now not only will we be using Eric for the current home he is also saving around $200 for our rental as well!! Needless to say we are very happy with the service Eric provided and happily recommend him for your mortgage needs as well! read more
