Since we've elected not to use a contractor to build our home, we had to do our homework and search…read morefor a suitable mortgage company to help us out on a loan. Banks were a possibility but they tend to shy away from folks who don't use a "proven" contractor. Contractors are great to have but are they necessary? Absolutely not - besides, do you happen to know how much you can save without using one? So we shopped around and we can across Northwest Mortgage. Great staff and very knowledgeable about this industry. Sure there's loads of paperwork involved but .... it's nice to know that we'll be able to save quite a bit without using a contractor.

From the owner: Kyle served his country as a US Marine, and has a special passion for helping fellow vets get the…read morebest rate they can on their VA Loans. In fact, Kyle loves helping all of his customers get the best rate possible on their mortgages, refinances and FHA loans. Because he owns the company and doesn't have to share commissions with upper management or pay the rent on a fancy office, it's hard for anyone to beat his rates. Getting a mortgage is kind of like buying a car. Unless you're an automotive expert, you really don't know what you're getting under the hood. If you don't have a mortgage expert in the family, it's easy to pay too much and not realize it. Ever notice how most mortgage ads don't invite you to compare their rates to the competition? That's because most places don't offer the lowest rates, and they're hoping you won't check. How can you be sure you are getting the best rate? Kyle invites you to take 5 minutes and use him to make sure. If he can't beat the rate you have, he'll tell you.
