We have had the pleasure of working with Sara Walker our realtor through Patricia Sprague Real…read moreEstate, Ashland, Oregon on 3 different occasions. Through Sara we were able to sell our family home in Ashland, Oregon in 2018 and purchase a home in Phoenix, Oregon on 2019. Just Recently we sold that home in Phoenix. We are relocating to New London, Connecticut to be closer to family. In each of these transactions Sara has made a very complex and involved process manageable for us to do. She has been exceeding patient with us and helped us understand all of the involved paperwork necessary. From the initial information that she provided us to the assistance with using the computer to complete some necessary work, she was always there. Sara was amazing with her skills to not make us feel overwhelmed. Sara is an individual with a lot of knowledge about her profession, and explains what we need to do, when we need to do it, and is right there with us when we needed help. We would recommend her to anyone who is buying or selling a home. Sara was always available to answer our questions and helped us understand a fairly complicated process. If you have any questions about working with Sara please don't hesitate to contact us. Mike & Karen Wraight 137 Ocean Ave, New London, CT. 06320 wraighttravel@gmail.com

I was so lucky to have found John! He made the loan process quick and easy. While looking for a…read morehome, I was at ease that the loan was ready and there would be no delays due to funding - which is so important!

My experience with Julie Stacy was marked by a series of delays and a lack of urgency that tested…read moremy patience at every turn. From the outset, the communication was sporadic and often required multiple follow-ups to receive even basic updates. It became clear early on that the lender's processes were slow and inefficient, causing significant delays in the potential approval process. It was clear their team seemed only versed in "easy" approvals.  What was most concerning was the apparent lack of concern for timelines. Despite repeated assurances that they would have an answer "soon," deadlines were consistently missed. This created unnecessary stress and uncertainty during a time that is already inherently stressful for any homebuyer. Moreover, the lender and their representatives seemed unresponsive when asked for clarification or updates. Simple inquiries were met with curt responses, and there was little effort to provide clear or comprehensive explanations. This lack of customer care and attentiveness was disappointing, especially given the significant financial commitment involved.  In the end, Julie seemed to barely try to get this loan approved. She washed her hands of it and said it was impossible to get done. Not to mention she approved me LOWER than any other lender for my house "range".  She also shared information about my purchase and process with someone that is not on my loan or title!! THAT IS NOT ALLOWED and a HUGE BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY! There are other lenders in the market who prioritize customer service and efficiency, which are critical in what is likely one of the most important transactions of your life. I was able to get better service and get this loan approved somewhere else!  I want to be CLEAR. Julie- You did not refuse to work with me because my first house was through her, which we both have proof of....so don't let her lie about this. Secondly, this review is purely in regard to my second house I tried to get you to approve lending for which you couldn't do because it was too hard. I have emails from you and Tyler saying you were not able to get this done, so I got it done through another lender. In no way am I mentioning OTHER issues I have with you Julie, that have nothing to do with this loan- so let's keep it on topic (your ability to do your job/ communicate and get loans approved). Everything I stated was true about my process in the second home loan I tried to purchase with you- you were extremely difficult and couldn't get it approved. You are trying to cover yourself by talking about a different topic to help your reputation, but the facts are you are NOT a good lender. Also, I do have direct proof of you breaching confidentiality about my loan. If you reply to this speak on the LOAN, which is YOUR BUSINESS.

Working with Tyler Boening with the Rockwell Group was one of the most frustrating and…read moredisheartening experiences we've ever had. From the beginning, he made grand promises--telling us exactly what we wanted to hear, swearing everything would go smoothly, and insisting we wouldn't lose money. But it was all smoke and mirrors. Tyler talks a big game to win your trust, then vanishes the moment things get difficult. He left us stranded when we needed him most, and his lack of follow-through ended up costing us a significant amount of money--money he explicitly promised we wouldn't lose. To make it worse, my husband is sick, a fact Tyler knew and exploited to get his paycheck. He told us he loved us, loved our family and would never let anything happen to us but we haven't heard a peep after the damage he's caused. We were relying on Tyler to do his job with some basic professionalism and integrity. Instead, he brought stress, confusion, and financial damage we couldn't afford. This wasn't just bad service; it was careless, dishonest, and completely unprofessional. If you're looking for a real estate agent you can actually count on, do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.
