My partner and I recently moved to Portland and, during our home search, our realtor referred us to…read moreClint. We met in person during one of our visits, where we talked about our needs and expectations. Clint spent the time to get to know us, and not only gave us some good advice and options for our mortgage, but he also talked about some great Portland neighborhoods to look at - he knew Portland better than the agent we were working with. Once we found a home, Clint was there every step of the way. While he prefers meeting in person, he's flexible and able to move things along electronically. This was incredibly helpful as we were not only buying a home, but starting new jobs. Clint's response time to any questions was always near real-time through secure email or text messages. The entire process went smoothly, and we got exactly the type of mortgage and rates we wanted. Once we moved into our new home, Clint was the first to visit and welcome us to the neighborhood! You couldn't ask for a better combination of knowledge, service, and personal care.

I met Clint through a referral from my real estate agent. As a first time home buyer, let me tell…read moreyou...I had no clue where to begin, what my options were and what type of loan was best for me at my age and for my situation. I was, however, savvy enough to talk to 5+ other loan consultants before settling on Clint, and here's why I did: 1. Clint was so patient with me and fielded all of my questions like a complete professional and was very respectful. 2. Clint is a relationship guy and it shows. He was extremely diligent in his follow up early on and even post close. He was always in touch with my agent and knew where I was at each stage in the looking, buying, and post close process. 3. Details. Over a month after close, he calls just to make sure I have my first payment set up ok and seeing if I need help! Come on! 4. Clint was a solid partner in finding me the lowest rate possible, which at the end of the day was extremely important. I'll be knocking on Clint's door when I purchase my next home.

We are in dire times in 2023. I've been working with Matt to…read moreget a refinance for a whole house remodel. Matt steered me in the right direction locking in my refinance loan, while letting me explore other options. I love Matt's secure site for uploading documents. I can check to see what I have uploaded and when, and also what documents are outstanding. My friends said I should shop around. Of course the other lenders said I should do a HELOC instead, because that's what they were selling. Even the Title company said that they haven't seen a home refinance loan come through in years. It's all about asking the right questions. I went on to YouTube and searched on the Dark Side of HELOCs, and several different people said the truth. We are in dire times in 2023, and I am so glad that Matt steered me in the right direction for my remodel project, which is not what those loan sharks out there are saying. I trust Matt Jolivette. I've worked with his dad for years. This family has integrity.

Working with Matt Jolivette was a breeze! Because interest rate has been low recently, we…read morerefinanced our house mortgage. I shopped with different agency but they weren't as straight forward and direct as with Matt. I'll highlight the things we like about working with him below *Fast and easy transaction - we started our refinance with him around 2nd week of November last year. And we got our loan in our bank on January 28th. Please be advised that you can get it a lot faster if you have all your documents ready. *Detailed information and very organized- I normally ask a lot of questions for clarity but we didn't have to do it with Matt. I like how he explained everything on his video, step by step and he also provided an easy and understandable file of what we are going to pay, interest rate, other charges, etc. *He always kept us updated- I like how he always gives us the timeframe and what would be the next step, it gave us a realistic idea as to when are we going to get the funds at the same time what we have to do next to proceed further. Overall, my husband and I highly recommend him and his team if you like an easy, fast, honest and straight forward approach to your home mortgage refinance. He definitely won't disappoint!

Probably the best financing experience of my life and definitely the quickest. If you have a…read morenon-conforming need, NW Private Lending is your key to success. Note the word PRIVATE in the name. That means they don't answer to Fannie Mae or Freddy Mac. They make real decisions based on the viability of the project. It's my opinion (and one I plan to follow, God willing), that you run your project by Eric and NW Private Lending. If it's in his area of core products and he accepts and finances it, go forward. If he refers you to another group he trusts that specializes in your project-type, check that group out. If it's within NW Private Lending's sweet spot and Eric determibes not to approve it, consider backing out. If he doesn't like it, maybe you shouldn't iether. :)

As business owners, we have more complicated underwriting requirements and document needs but Tammi, Jennifer and the whole team were patient as we walked through everything as well as proactive anticipating future requests from our lender. Their communication and customer service was top notch every step of the way. They also offered the best rate and terms of the lenders we spoke with, so you aren't sacrificing for that exceptional service - it's really the best of all worlds! Despite the challenging conditions over the last few months, the one thing that wasn't challenging was our home loan, thanks to Tammi & the team. I would use them again in a heartbeat and have already recommended them to several people seeking loans.

I know a lot of realtors, but never have I met someone so savvy, smart, professional, efficient, and effective as Dill. The fact that she is also one of the warmest, kindest, most upbeat and big-hearted people I've ever met is truly amazing! Dill walked me through every stage of the home buying process with patience, enthusiasm, and expertise. What could have been so stressful and overwhelming turned in to an experience where I felt truly seen, supported, and cared for. Not to mention, I ended up with my dream home--which is just as dreamy two years in! Dill's entire team carries the same ethos, professionalism, and friendliness. They nurture their relationships with former clients with customer appreciation events, surprise gifts and cards in the mail, and regular gestures of gratitude. (Have you ever met another realtor who gifts every former client with a locally-made Thanksgiving PIE every year?! Me neither!) Bottom line: I can't recommend Dill and her team more highly. I will be a FOREVER loyal customer.

With the other agents I felt like I was doing a lot of the leg work of finding houses and sharing it with them, but with Dill I would get several options texted or emailed to me daily and she was always available to do a viewing. I can't stress how important this was with the incredibly tight market we have in Portland. As soon as a property would come up that fit my criteria, she would send it to me and we would be off to see it ASAP. In the end she found a house that wasn't even listed yet and made special arrangements for us to see it. It was priced higher than I was approved for, but she worked with my mortgage broker to get me approved for the higher amount in no time and I had an offer in before the day was out. I was even ready to put in well over asking, but she said to hold off on a bidding war since we were the only ones that had seen it. In the end my offer was accepted at asking price which I thought never happened anymore. If and when I decide to move, I will definitely be going with Dill again.
