This is an edit to a prior review that I'd written based on my having sent an inquiry e-mail and a…read morevoice mail a couple of days later, and never having received a response to either of them. I waited to write the review since the COVID-19 pandemic was in full force at the time of my initial query. While I was very disappointed to have not received any responses to my initial inquiries, I was VERY impressed to have received a personal response on Yelp within minutes of my posting my original review, apologizing for my not having received any responses, and asking for supplemental information so that they could investigate and try to find a root cause. They checked their systems and couldn't find my contact attempts. Their demonstrated concern for potential customers was very evident, as was their professionalism in taking the time to write a thorough and thoughtful response as well as their desire to find and fix the root cause. I'm not sure when or if I'll be in the market for a mortgage broker service again, but if I am, I'll definitely give Green Mortgage Northwest a shot before I contact anybody else based on their excellent response.

My husband and I have worked with Ian at Lighthouse on and off as we were trying to find our…read moreforever home over the last 4 years. Everytime we came to him with a new house procpect he was always willing and open to help us get the best rates and the right loan. When we finally bought our forever home last year he was the one that we trusted to find us the best rate and lender. But that's not all Ian did for us he always went above and beyond during the process. We wouldn't have gone with anyone else. Our loan and situation with the house we were buying was tricky to say the least because it was a probate house (a messy one). He and our realtor worked closely together to help us navigate the sale. It was because of that we were able to acquire our home so smoothly. During the process Ian always took our calls even staying late at the office to talk to us when we had questions etc. He was there with helpful advice about navigating the situation too and was there through the whole process right up until the end. And even though we had a few hiccups with our lender and loan he went personally out of his way to make it right which we are so grateful for. Ian was there right to the end too; even showing up to be there at closing in case we had any final questions about the financial side of our purchase and he was genuinely excited for us in our purchase of our new home and the new adventure for our family. We consider Ian a friend and since our purchase have recommend him and his team at Lighthouse to many of my family and friends. And we would highly recommend him and his team at Lighthouse in Silverton, OR.

The PDX Home Loan team are not just great loan officers, they are great human beings. They are personable, hard working, communicative, proactive and make the loan process, which can sometimes be frustrating, transparent and enjoyable. I refer all my new clients to James and his team and will continue doing so for many years to come. I truly care about my clients and it feels great to know they are in the best of hands with the PDX Home Loan Team.

Man, what can I even say about James Adair? If you are reading this review wondering whether or not…read moreyou should work with him, YOU SHOULD. HE IS AWESOME. I was an incredibly anxious, first-time homebuyer in 2014. I was terrified of the financing falling through because of a tight timeline. My husband and I were attempting to bump a contingent offer and everything was on the line. We were out of a month-to-month apartment, and if things fell through with our financing, we'd lose our dream home AND have nowhere to live. I was quitting the worst job of my life to start a new one, and was working a lot of hours. Long story short: James' team made the entire process easy and seamless. Working with someone local was paramount. When I made a few mistakes with documentation and paperwork, I was able to just drive it over to their office to make it right in less than 24 hours. They even stayed after hours to make sure I could drop things off. They were comforting and reassuring and really listened to me, and most importantly, they got the job done. Now, fast forward 6 years later. I'm very thankful for the equity I've built in my house and the updates James still sends me about it! I find his emails legitimately helpful and they keep me motivating to look at the big picture of my finances. I can call him to ask his advice about financial instruments and how different choices might impact my property value upon eventual sale. He still listens sincerely without rushing, even when there's no immediate profit in it for him. James is in this business of the long game. He will help you buy this house and, if he can, your next house and the one after that. He's a relationship lender in the truest possible sense and I would send any close friend or immediate family member to him without hesitation.

Fortunately, we got connected to Heather early on and felt so supported every step of the way! Heather is highly organized, detail oriented, patient, and does a great job of breaking down market conditions and terms in ways that feel easy to track and make informed decisions from. I love that she uses the mortgage coach platform; which gave us clear insight to all the details around how much money to put down, interest rate buy-down options, monthly payments, cash to close, etc. The platform interface was very user friendly and gave a clear picture of all the options (she would also update it to capture any changing scenarios as needed). Heather is extremely responsive; in a fast moving market, we knew we could count on her to respond in time to make a competitive and informed offer. In addition to being whip smart and knowledgeable about all things market related, she is also just a delightful person; warm, friendly, and so encouraging when we need it most! We highly recommend Heather for your home purchase.
