Wow! A lot of disgruntled folks but that has not been my experience. I've been with OCCU for…read moreprobably 20 years. I have used many of their services: card, auto loan both new and used, mortgage services. They have always been nice, polite and I was always kept 'in the loop' during processing time. And processing time was always done very timely. Very informative and I feel confident in their service. There have been a couple of posting errors but always remedied immediately when brought forward. Much easier than dealing with the Big Banking method of proving their error to them! I also have an account with one of the Big Ones and also get charged a monthly fee for the 'privilege' of them using my money! Ridiculous! Just thought OCCU needed a shout out as I plan on staying with them.

We had been watching property in a very specific part of town for nearly two years. As our country's financial outlook began to turn gloomy, we decided we'd better pull the trigger quickly before rates went to the moon. A friend we trust recommended Phil Gerstner at Lighthouse Home Loans. We reached out to Phil and the rest is history. Understand, we've bought and sold more than a dozen properties in a couple of decades and we have NEVER had such an OUTSTANDING experience as we did with Phil and his team. We thought for certain we'd waited too long and would pay the price through high rates. Phil shopped our loan HARD and found us several options to choose from that made sense and were manageable for us. Phil took the time to teach us about the process, broke each option down into steps that helped us understand potential outcomes BEFORE we made a decision. We have NEVER had a broker take the time and spend the energy doing this before and we have come to VALUE Phil's thoughtful input. I CANNOT RECOMMEND PHIL AND LIGHTHOUSE LOANS STRONGLY ENOUGH. You will be doing yourself, your family, and your future a huge disservice if you don't at least have a conversation with him, talk about your plans, dreams, and options. Thanks Phil and Lighthouse! We LOVE our new home.

Yet, Karen made it the simplest mortgage process I have experienced. This is the 4th and hopefully, final home purchase for my family. Karen made herself available anytime I had a question.

I was told they would work hard to obtain the best mortgage financing, at the lowest rates. I have obtained 4 mortgages through LPMC since then. I appreciated the courteous attention to my needs each time. During my most recent mortgage I ran into a complicated HUD issue due to an unintentional error on my part during the title process. It would have been easy for LPMC to leave me on my own since their job was done. Instead, they stood with me through this ordeal (over 3 months) and, mostly attributable their efforts, the matter was completely resolved. LPMC has earned my business and my highest possible customer rating for their awesome service.

Scott Gilbert, Melissa and Selisha are miracle workers! There is one word to describe this company…read more- integrity. The day before I was to close on our home with another lender, Freedom Mortgage, we were not able to close on the loan due to a title discrepancy. The movers were there and everything was boxed! It was a nightmare. I called Scott the following day and his underwriters researched the title and it deemed it clean with no issues at all. With Scott's lead, and with his vast knowledge and experience I was able to close on the loan two weeks later! Melissa and Selisha are wonderful to work with as well - speedy, warm, intelligent and kind. I highly recommend this company!

I can't say enough great things about Lighthouse Financial, and especially Scott and Mel, who have…read morehelped us sail through multiple transactions over the years. I was originally referred to Scott by my real estate broker while looking at investment properties in Salem and Keizer. I used US Bank in the past, but most of the big banks have a "mortgage guy" who seems to be asleep at the wheel. But when you work with someone like Scott, who can shop multiple lenders and give you brilliant strategic advice on how to structure deals for the best outcomes, you avoid the assembly line (and inevitable delays) of the larger institutions. What a night and day difference. He is very sharp and moves like lightning. My goals are very different from the regular home buyer, and so I rely heavily on consultative experts who can problem solve their way around obstacles. They know how to work a bigger plan and make sure we are hitting all of our metrics. If I fall short on something, Mel brings the urgency needed to get the deal done. I can't tell you how appreciated that is. That level of focused project management is worth every penny. They really work hard to see around corners for you, and to package things efficiently for underwriting to keep surprises minimal. They are truly masters of what they do. I highly recommend them to any and all REIs who want pros to handle their financing side. This market is too competitive and moves too quickly to have anything less than a top notch financing partner.
