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.

She gave us honest, data-backed insight and always made us feel that we had a clear understanding of the market, our options, and what made the most sense for us. As out-of-state sellers, Veronica truly made the entire process as easy as it could be. From connecting us with a concierge service to take care of the necessary repairs and upgrades to get the house ready to sell, to being incredibly responsive and accountable throughout the process, she made sure we had the right information at the right time and knew what steps we needed to take. Our actual sales process ended up being tougher than we anticipated, in what was a challenging market. Veronica was truly incredible throughout it all -- patient, persistent, and tenacious, while always keeping us grounded in what the data was telling us. We were so grateful to have access to her knowledge, network, and experience, and to have someone we trusted so completely in our corner.

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.
