I've a real estate broker in the greater Seattle area for over 7 years. Kirk at Bellwether lending…read moreis the best mortgage specialist I've had the pleasure of working with. A good mortgage specialist/broker is not easy to come by. The qualities that make Kirk stand out among the rest is his communication, availability, honesty, creativeness, constant updates, experience, knowledge, and willingness to fight for his clients. If you have ever worked with a loan officer or mortgage broker, you know these qualities is hard to find. An example for his ability to be creative and make things happen, I had a client that fell in love with a house in November. She was denied from Homestreet Bank for a loan, but Kirk was able to make it happen after one phone conversation with her. He took the time to understand her financial situation and was able to work his magic to help her get a loan and close on the house. I have no hesitation referring him to any of my clients. In fact, since I've met Kirk, I've referred all of my clients to him. He has helped over 7 of my clients with their home loans. My only regret is not finding him sooner in my real estate career. One of my clients said it best that Kirk is a like a bulldog that is willing to fight for you.

The folks at Sammamish mortgage including Trevor and Priscilla almost cost me our house. We've…read moreworked with 2 other lenders, including Bank of America and had decent experiences where our lenders were personable and had close relationships with the underwriters. I'm not 100% sure with Sammamish but it seems they are just an intermediary and do not have close understanding of the underwriting process. Trevor was unreachable by phone and would e-mail me back or call back a day later. Priscilla seemed to be off or have a vacation notification on every time I tried to email her. Without warning us, Trevor went on paternity leave the week of closing, and Priscilla left on vacation. We were left with their supervisor who was 100% more competent, but extremely busy. Right before closing, Trevor also told me that we either needed to buy down more interest and pay them more money, which didn't make sense as we bought a house that was 1/2 our purchasing power. Our realtor emailed and called them (we had given consent) without any response and noted they were one of the worst and most nerve wracking groups she had dealt with. We had no idea if we would close on time, even the day of closing. We were living in an AirBnB and not sure whether we would be homeless the next day or if we should book a hotel. When I spoke with Stacey their supervisor about this the day before closing, she said "this isn't even as close as we come sometimes, don't worry!" which made me worry even more. I just found out that they immediately transferred our loan to another bank a month after closing. They have a ton more reviews than other servicers and I would be extremely concerned some of them are fake.

Madeline referred us to a wonderful real estate agent who was a perfect match working with us. We found our perfect place right away. I wrote Madeline on 12/20 requesting help along with several other lenders (none of the others wrote back same day). She wrote me within an hour or two and today we have the keys to our new home! 10/10! Would definitely recommend this team!

I myself was in need of a loan agent as mine of 20 years had passed away. With my need and new info on Greg, I called the office and spoke to Mr Anderson on the phone and relayed my need about a loan and was assured his office could take care of my every need . I gathered my Documents and dropped them off at the office and that was that last I heard from them till I called two weeks later to assure they didn"t need anything else. Greg answered the phone and told me how busy they were and not to worry,Three weeks later after no contact, i picked up a copy of the docs I had dropped off. Two months later, not a call or anything. I am not new to the business as I have bought and managed over 30 homes over the last 40 years and this performance was not only rude but a great view into how this office treats their customers when they have more customers than they need at any one time. I saw the writing on the wall after a couple of weeks and I drove back and picked up the originals and they made a copy for the office .I was not sure who the copys were for as i knew his team was not going to call me {And they never did}. A big negative on Greg Anderson
