Let me begin by saying Danny is the absolute best!! This was our very first home buying experience…read moreand Danny gave us comfort and confidence from start to finish! Danny was very personable and gave his professional advice with our best interests at the forefront at all times. We never felt pressured to make a decision or to increase our budget. His integrity to fully disclose information to protect us as buyers went along way in our trust with Danny. He was transparent between our options and extremely knowledgeable. The pros and cons were explained specific to our short and long term plans for our home so we could make the best decision for us. Along with his expertise, his availability and responsiveness reassured me that he's the best in the business! Whenever we gave him a call, he would actually pick up! That's so rare in today's age of texting. If he couldn't pick up, he would text us back immediately that he would call us right back - and would actually follow through! It made it really feel like we were his only customer and put to rest any concerns we had because he always had an answer for us. As far as our rates, the man is a magician! We never imagined we would be homeowners, let alone be approved for as much as we did at such a great interest rate! He helped us plan short and long term financial strategies with the loan before making any decision so we are extremely confident and feel in control of our mortgage. Danny is a true professional and expert in providing an exceptional customer experience. His skill set, work ethic, and genuine care for his customers separates Danny from his peers. Danny turned our dreams into reality and we have nothing but GREAT things to say!! He's gained customers for life, and I've already referred him to friends and family who have had even a sliver of interest in buying a home. Our curiosity turned us into homeowners within just a few months, and that can be true for any of them as well! All it takes is one call, email, or text and you could very well be on to getting a home of your own! THANK YOU DANNY!!!!

He goes above and beyond while explaining various components of closing costs and provides valuable suggestions in terms of locking rates.

Keith's team got my mortgage refinance finished in less than a month during the pandemic when the first bank failed to get it done in 6 months... I tried refinancing with a promotional offer during the pandemic. It was a disaster. The 1st appraisal had at least a 3 month wait but failed because the appraiser didn't feel experienced enough. I waited another 3 months for the "expert" appointment and he couldn't complete the appraisal either - The expert spent the entire time using the restroom and I had to clean it after... After 6 months with the first company and missing out on the lowest interest rates, Keith's team got it done in under a month!

There are very few people I refer clients to without a second thought -Troy is one of them. As a…read morereal estate broker in the greater Seattle and Eastside area, who I send my clients to is one of the most important decisions I make. My name is attached to that referral, and I don't take that lightly. Over the years, Troy and his team have consistently shown up the way I need them to - responsive, creative, and genuinely invested in finding the best solution for each buyer. We've worked together across Bellevue, Kirkland, Sammamish, Renton, and the greater Seattle area, and through all of it he has never once let a client fall through the cracks. What sets Troy apart isn't just that he knows his products - it's that he listens. He takes the time to understand what a buyer actually needs, and when he doesn't have the best program for that specific situation, he says so and connects them with someone who does. That kind of honesty and humility is rare in any industry. My clients deserve to be taken care of the same way I take care of them. Troy does that. If you're buying a home and need a lender you can trust, I highly recommend Troy.

This is a boasting review because I genuinely believe that if you're inquiring about Troy and…read moreFairway, you're on the right track. Troy was recommended to me by a friend and I'm so thankful! He was the first person I reached out to in the home buying process as a first time home buyer. He was my go-to for any and all questions every step of the way. He always let me know my options, including insight like what was most common, what he recommended, and what the paperwork really meant. He even stayed responsive via text while he was out of town helping his daughter move into her college dorm- sending pre-approval letters from the plane! He was very easy to talk to and kind. My situation was a little different as I have a partner who I'm buying with that is not a first time home buyer. We had to go back and forth from having me on the loan solo (to get a better interest rate) vs having us both on the loan (to be able to qualify for a more expensive home) depending on the amount we were offering for each property. I can only imagine this was not easy on the paperwork end but he didn't hesitate to give me all options. In the end I was able to get a first time home buyer interest rate because of programs Troy found for me. He was also a great cheerleader along the way! This process is very involved and I would use Troy and his team again if I ever needed to!

Big thanks to Rob and his team (Tara and Dana) for managing the refinance of our home mortgage…read more Rob reached out to me and recommended several refinance options, including a "zero cost" option - which we selected. Their team did all the work and coordinated with the Lender and the Closing Agent. I really appreciated that Tara and Dana provided explanations for all of the documents we had to upload.

We would strongly recommend Matt to our friends and family in the area…read more We met with several realtors before choosing to work with Matthew to sell our home in Bellevue, WA. Matt wasn't the lowest rate, the highest sale volume, nor did he cite a substantially higher sale price. But his recommendations on prep/staging/marketing; his full-service, detailed, and organized approach; and our ability to speak honestly about expectations really stood out. We also appreciated that he recommended ways to highlight the unique touches in the home, rather than (literally) whitewashing everything as some other realtors advised. His approach magnified the things we loved about the home and the care we put into maintaining and improving it. We were out-of-state during the majority of the sale, and relied on Matt and his team very heavily for sale preparation. He made proposals, got quotes, and oversaw work. Matt was upfront about whether he thought each suggested improvement would pay for itself, and actively advised against changes other realtors had suggested that he didn't think were worth it. He was always clear that it was our decision and also happily accommodated us doing some of the work ourselves. Because of his and his team's diligence we were able to hit our target list date, with a house that was shown in its best light. The local market had become more uncertain: markets were softening and a similar house down the street was sitting on the market after weeks, despite a price drop. We adjusted our intended list price (still within his initial range) and our expectations, but Matt remained confident in the home and how it would show. We got an under-asking offer early, and Matt went into overdrive to solicit additional offers. Ultimately we got a very attractive at-list-price offer, the house went pending within a week of listing, and we had a very smooth closing experience. There's always luck involved, but we expect that with most other realtors it would have more work for us to get the house on the market and the sale price would have been lower.

He is extremely knowledgable and took time to walk us through the process and expectation. He was always communicative and very reliable whenever we have questions or need to look at some properties. We originally intend to be more passive while looking at houses and would take time to look through options. Matt was very receptive to that and always ensure we are truly comfortable with any decision we make. In the end, we got a new home pretty quickly also below the list price. The negotiation was handled expertly and any problems during the transactions were handled efficiently. I'd totally recommend Matt to anyone looking to buying a property actively or passively alike.
