Eric has been my absolute go to guy ever since. Eric works the same hours I do and answers his phone when I and my clients call. I have given Eric more than my share of difficult loans.

Even though Eric keeps telling me he does easy loans too, he is well known as the problem solver. If Eric cant get the loan approved, no one can.

FlyHomes' Cash Offer made our first home purchase straightforward. Sophia, Alex and the team took…read morecare of us throughout the twists and turns of house hunting even when unexpected situations arose. Because FlyHomes closed with the seller within two weeks, were even able to move into our home over two weeks before our closing date! I recommend FlyHomes to other first-time home-buyers because their team is quick and friendly to work with. Their business model is novel, but FlyHomes is honest and ambitious, making us feel comfortable that any issues arising throughout mutual and closing would be dealt with smoothly. Most importantly, although FlyHomes does offer the option to facilitate the lending process, we elected to use a third-party major bank as our lender. Our loan approval process took a bit longer than expected, so FlyHomes promptly pushed our closing date back without any penalty to us. After we closed, our Home Lending Advisor, who is highly experienced, noted that working with FlyHomes had been an extremely positive experience, and that she felt comfortable recommending FlyHomes to others. If you choose to use FlyHomes to make your home purchase, you will be working with a genuinely caring team. You will avoid the potential stress of dealing directly with the seller of the property, and perhaps make a more competitive all-cash offer than you otherwise would have been able to!

We purchased our home with FlyHomes' help in the competitive spring market of 2019. We were…read morelooking for a slight fixer upper so we had very specific things we were looking for in our home. Alex was very patient with us as we toured many homes. He was always quick to respond and quick to meet us at the properties. When we found "the one" we were hopeful but felt we didn't have a chance because of our budget. However, due to FlyHomes' cash offer and Alex's clear and direct communication with the seller's agent, we were able to provide a top notch offer. FlyHomes' policy of allowing us to move in once immediately following closing was a huge benefit to us and made our closing with them seem smoother and very much in reach. This is a young company offering a great product to home buyers and they have a strong and responsive team that is glad to answer any questions along the way. We highly recommend their services!

As a first-time homebuyer, buying property felt complicated and difficult, but Loren was always timely in his responses and helped me navigate the process with as much ease as possible (including making it painless when I rescinded one of my offers). Not once did I feel pressured, and Loren waited to pull my credit until I was 100% ready -- which is not always the case with lenders. His knowledge about home vs. condo purchasing and off-the-cuff questions about insurance, etc. were reassuring at every step. Finally, I appreciated Loren's transparency about his commission and the timing for potential refinancing in a rapidly changing market. I would absolutely recommend Loren and cannot say enough good things about working with him.

Probably an anomaly. But nope! I found the Happy Valley branch ( much closer to my new home) to be every bit as friendly, helpful, bend-over-backwards as the Belmont one. ​This must be a Rivermark trait, to hire people who smile and are competent and efficient. I initially opened accounts at a Canby-based credit union, but they treated me as an annoyance and no one ever smiled. If all you ever need is a kiosk and can do all your banking online, this probably isn't a big deal, but if you need to conduct business that involves face-to-face transactions such as power of attorney or notarization of documents, Rivermark is the gold standard of banks.
