    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keith and Kiley are the best in the business.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I have been using this team for years, and I now go straight to them.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service is 10/10, communication is prompt, and they never miss a detail. Look no further!!

    It is my absolute pleasure to recommend Keith Iwanabe as a loan officer. From our very first conversation through the day of closing, Keith delivered a level of service and expertise that went far beyond our expectations. Navigating a VA loan can often be complex, but Keith made the process seamless, efficient, and stress-free. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keith was incredibly communicative, responsive, and proactive every step of the way.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He kept us consistently informed, clearly explained our options, and ensured that we understood every detail involved in the VA loan process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]His ability to anticipate our needs and address questions immediately gave us complete confidence and peace of mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the most impressive aspects of working with Keith was his ability to secure us the best possible rate, while also ensuring a fast and smooth closing--something that is not easy to achieve with a VA loan. Thanks to his deep knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to his clients, we were able to close quickly and without any delays. Keith treated our loan as a personal mission rather than a transaction. [[HIGHLIGHT]]His professionalism, genuine care, and dedication to excellent customer service made all the difference.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] He went above and beyond to advocate for us at every stage, ensuring we received the very best outcome. I offer my highest recommendation for Keith Iwanabe. His expertise, integrity, and client-first approach make him an outstanding loan officer and a true asset to anyone seeking a VA loan or any lending service. I would not hesitate to work with him again in the future!!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Working with Keith and the team at Spec has been by far the best experience I've ever had with a lender.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keith talks straight, and delivers.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were able to find comps for my historic duplex. We did the loan in my LLC's name. The rate was more than reasonable--it was less than my local lenders. They had a variety of loan products and we found one that met my goals. I was able to leverage my property and extract enough value so that I could BRRRR. From the very beginning, Keith told me what he could do, and then he did what he said he was going to do. Yes, when he said he was going to do it. We're already working on 2 more loans. I highly recommend Keith and Spec. Since we did our first loan, I have referred them to 3 investors that I know, and I will keep on referring them.

    This was my first home purchase, and [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keith was incredibly helpful and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]He answered all of my questions promptly and made what could have been a stressful experience completely stress-free.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend Keith to anyone looking to purchase their next home.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Words cannot describe how amazing Keith and his team are![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] When we first started talking about looking to purchase a new home we went to Keith. [[HIGHLIGHT]]He and his team took the time to help us understand what we needed to do and when.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From start to finish the whole process was seamless.

    My first home!

    I am now officially a homeowner!!!!!!! I was going at it and through it all by myself, for first time, with curiosity to see how much I could even qualify for. Now here we are. Keith and Nels (my realtor) made sure I was taken care of, and whatever we found, the sole purpose was for me to have a safe space that I loved. The endless questions, concerns, clarifications I had were quickly answered with continuous patience, grace, and compassion (no matter what time I texted them). Keith is so transparent, they named the tape after him! Keith provided such peace of mind every step of the way, along with Kiley holy moly. What a magical dream team. What a freaking unbelievable seamless process this all was. Kiley you are so amazing! Thank you, thank you, a bajillion gazillion thank yous so so much to the best of the best anyone can ask for. Thank you for being here for me since the first phone call. Thank you, Kiley, and Nels for all the 24/7 around the clock hand holding, reassurance, and unwavering support. If I haven't said it enough on an endless repeat, I am so thankful, grateful, and appreciative for your team. 10/10 recommend! I'll tell anyone who will hear it. I hope you continue to receive all the recognition and greatness that this life offers. Bless you, your families, and your business! If you're reading this and are hesitant- easier said than done, but don't be. Keith and his team are there to help you make life easier to the best of their abilities. Grateful for this experience with you all, -D

    My wife and I were first time homebuyers who needed help navigating the process. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Keith was a perfect resource who provided a ton of knowledge and valuable experience to make our lending process a breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks Keith!

    TLDR: The Tuttle Group utterly astounded us with an effortless, friendly, speedy, and (believe it…read moreor not) FUN refinance as self-employed individuals when no one else wanted to help. We decided to refinance our home to make some improvements and clear out some high-interest debt. We assumed (erroneously) that our credit union, which had held the current mortgage for 15 years plus our bank accounts and car notes, and a flawless history of payments with them, would have no trouble refinancing us, even though we are now self-employed, and making 3x what we made when they initially approved us. ***WRONG!!!*** After literally MONTHS of asking for documents, changing rates, long delays waiting for info from underwriting, and unanswered questions, we finally abandoned them in search of unconventional financing routes. We looked specifically for brokers in the area who specialize in self-employed people, and found a few. Some seemed a bit "green," some sounded less than friendly or just weren't interested in a smaller refi. But Tatiana with the Tuttle Group was super friendly when she reached out, and helped us arrange a video consultation with Andy Tuttle, the wizard of the Tuttle Group. During the 30 minutes that Andy spoke with us, it was like a crash course in financial planning. Everything he said made so much sense, and we learned more about mortgage refinancing than MONTHS of online research and questions we had asked to our credit union. Andy was up-front and told us that our best option might, indeed, be to go with the offer our credit union had finally extended, and that he might not be able to beat it. Still, he took the time to explain how refinancing in this "terrible Fed-rate" era could be financially advantageous to us, and told us to check once more with our credit union to see their final terms and if they were still locked in. I was astounded that he would take that kind of time to talk to a customer he likely wouldn't get any money from. We decided to proceed with the Tuttle Group, even if they couldn't offer us a better rate, simply because it was a PLEASURE dealing with them, they treated us like family, and everything Andy said made such good sense. Throughout the 2-ish weeks that ensued, their awesome mortgage gal Annie checked in with us regularly to make sure all our questions were answered. They seemingly required FAR less documentation than anyone else. But their stated tactic was to present a perfect, iron-clad package to underwriting up-front, so that there would be an instant approval and there wouldn't be a need for further questions or documentation. (Imagine that???) In what seemed like the blink of an eye, we were approved and ushered through closing. We simply could not be more impressed with the Tuttle Group. We've helped numerous friends and family through the mortgage process, and it's always like being put through a medieval torture device. This is the first time getting approved and closing was a PLEASURE. We NEVER had to contact them for questions, because they were always checking in to make sure all ours were answered. They were super friendly, familiar, informal-yet-professional, and we always felt like they had our backs and had everything under control. We actually looked forward to their calls and emails...imagine that??? Even though were were looking for a silly, small refinance and shouldn't have been worth their time, we felt like we had called up a dear family member who gave us the "hook up" our situation clearly didn't warrant. Astounded. Impressed. Thrilled. Grateful. These are some of the things we feel after our experience with the Tuttle Group. And I have absolutely no doubt your experience will leave you feeling the same.

    I was referred to The Tuttle group by my friend and realtor that also had a good experience…read more Everyone at the Tuttle group made me feel comfortable and put my mind at ease. They made this experience less stressful and was very informative. They were so kind always checking on me via email or phone during the whole process. Even after I've purchased my home they have still called to see how the move went and if there was anything they could help me with. Thanks to all the staff at The Tuttle group I really appreciate you all. Many blessings :-)
