Having done this…read morewith other companies before, I had some first hand knowledge of how difficult doing a refi can be. I was pleasantly surprised at how good Best Mortgage was. From my first contact via their website through the signing all the documents, the process was so smooth. Cheryl and Nancy kept me informed with the process, they responded very quickly to any questions I had and seem genuinely interested in providing excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Best Mortgage for a VA loan and/or refi.

Jim Hoge at Seattle Mortgage Planners just did an amazing job for us in getting our house refinanced, which was an obsession for me over the past three years. I'm a lawyer, and I've been a serial refinancer, but I also had a hard-to-compare house that was essentially underwater, so I was basically a broker's worst nightmare. Nonetheless, Jim was extremely always patient with my calls and questions and great about keeping in touch on his own, and in fact was always a real pleasure to chat with. Even more importantly, he stuck with me over nearly two years of ups and downs due to the market conditions and my own situation. In the end though, he was able to get us just the right loan at just the right time, where other brokers hadn't been able to. Once the time was right, Jim got it moving efficiently and quickly and he was always calm despite some curveballs right before closing. I should also add that I came to Jim also through Internet searching and was initially skeptical that the person in the Google ads and the website pictures was actually on the other end, but he really is and knows his stuff. I chose Jim because I wanted someone who was actually local after I tried to use an online mortgage matchup service that put me with an out-of-state broker that didn't know our market. Jim knows the Seattle market extremely well, especially my own quirky neighborhood (Q.A.), and that local knowledge really made the difference in key spots. I would never hesitate to use Jim again, but for the fact I think I now have a loan good enough to keep through the full term! If I ever do need another one, though, Jim will be the first person I call. I can't recommend him enough.

As a buyer, we made a purchase recently. Everything was great when making a offer. But what happened on and after closing were a disaster. If anyone ever tells me things to pay attention to when adding a rent back term, I will never do that!!! I don't lack this one house. I was told the house was cleaned. And I booked a moving but when I checked the house one day before moving, it was so disappointed!!!! Oatmeal debris in the cabinet, dirty oven, sugar melted and stick on to shelf, very dirty washer, missing door controller, and almost all filters needed to be changed (fridge, furnace), the home service devices were taken away which should stay. Know what, I tried to find a cleaning Company to come and they spent 4 hours and ONLY finished cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms. I don't know what to say and just agree that I will buy this piece of lesson! Because I have very good real estate experience with a famous builder, I know how bad this is. There are so many chances that the agent can remind me of the potential issues and how can I prevent losses. But she just chose to move forward, tried to close as soon as possible and move onto the other business. Tonight when I checked the outside garbage/recycling bin. I am very angry now. The bin is full with the sellers disposes. Okay, I will try to bear more and hope this is the end.

In the summer of 2009, we moved two states away because I was taking a new job for a new employer,…read morewhich meant that we needed to do something about our old house. Since the rental market in our area wasn't so hot, we decided we'd try to sell, and after a disastrous attempt to go with the real estate agents my relocation company chose, we found Sue Hammermaster at Windermere in Renton. She was friendly, honest, and willing to work with our circumstances and schedule -- we engaged her as our seller's agent days before we left the state. She also had a lot of familiarity with the area, which no other agent we'd worked with had. And she's a CRS and was willing to work with us on a house well below her usual price point. And work she did. It took us nearly a year to sell that house. The neighbourhood market was so depressed by the housing slump that the only homes that moved were short sales, and finally our house became a short sale as well, but she navigated us through all of the pain and hassle (and our lender, thanks to acquisitions, was Bank of America, so there was *plenty* of pain and hassle on tap), kept us in the loop on developments, was proactive in getting information and forms for us, and even helped us keep up on maintenance while the house was on the market. Finally, blessedly, the house did sell, though... and I miss hearing from Sue every week or so. Lest this sound like a review of only Sue (which it pretty much is meant to be), the staff at the Windermere office were also very helpful, especially Sue's assistant, Caren. But I have to recommend Sue in particular; I don't think I'd use another agent anywhere she serves.

The other provider had a great first-time homebuyer incentive, but their customer service was terrible and was only open 5 days a week. We were new at this so we didn't have any clue with the buying process, how loans work, and what opportunities we had as new homebuyers. We needed someone who could guide and educate us throughout the process with no judgement and who could be honest with us. Chris was that person and we really appreciated the countless times he spent with us over the phone when we had tons of questions and qualms about something, even after hours and weekends. He explains everything the best he can and each phone call always ended with us feeling relieved and more educated. We truly appreciate you and your passion in your work.
