Jessica has managed several home purchases for us and is an impeccable, compassionate and thorough professional. At this point we would not trust anyone else to help us in these major (and often stressful) life decisions. We are technically an elderly couple and Jessica has done a superb job navigating all the difficult hurdles for us.

Trust is very important in selecting a loan officer and/or mortgage loan company. I have gone to Brian Foster for help in the last three refinancing applications because I trust his intuition, his understanding of our personal needs, his diligence in researching the best options, being on top of things and dealing with questions. I appreciate the readiness of the escrow department in collecting necessary documents and facilitating the signing. We had the notary come to our residence at 7:30 p.m.

Living in Texas and buying a house in Washington, I shopped my mortgage with several lenders. It was so refreshing to deal with this company. Where others were extremely confusing, my loan officer, Andrew Ortega, made everything crystal clear. He emailed me spreadsheets of my options and went through them with me line by line. Andrew and Heidi took care of me through the whole process and were very patient with my questions. Everything went smoothly, with no hiccups at all! These guys are very professional and I whole-heartedly recommend doing business with them!

Eric was extremely helpful throughout the entire loan process. He took the time to explain the process and answered all the questions that I had, no matter how many times I asked about the same thing. Eric was always available for assistance and to write up the offer letters whenever I needed them. I was extremely impressed by his professionalism and his knowledge of the loan process. We ran into one area that he wasn’t familiar with and he spent time researching the topic and got back to me within 24 hours with the answer. Eric worked diligently to get me the best rate and terms for my loan.  I highly recommend Eric Foss for any loan needs.

I was referred to Chi Nguyen by a real estate agent here in Wenatchee, WA. I was a first-time home buyer and absolutely clueless about the whole process. I contacted Chi on a Saturday night, because I had just found out that the home I was interested in was about to get an offer from someone else. I needed a pre-approval letter. Chi promptly responded and was ready to help me out. Due to the stories I had heard about getting home loans, the rates, hidden fees and many of the negative aspects that occur, I was pretty skeptical about lenders. The first house did not work out. Regardless Chi did everything quickly and professionally. I dropped the agent I was using at the time who referred me to Chi, and I began looking at other homes with a different agent. When it came time to get serious about another home, I contacted Chi to get a quote, but I also talked to a bank about my options. As I said, I was without experience and wanted to learn as much as I could. The person I talked to at the bank required A LOT more for a down payment, and the rate was higher. This made me wonder what Chi was hiding for his quote to be so much better. I compared the numbers side by side and researched what each fee was. As far as I could tell, there were no hidden concerns, but I knew the truth would come out in the end when the final numbers were drawn up. 

I think it was about this time when I asked Chi if he could meet up with me, and he told me that he lived in Kirkland! To my surprise, everything was done quickly and professionally, without a hitch, so location made no difference. I found the house I wanted, and as soon as I was going to put an offer in 2 more people decided to as well. I lost the battle to someone else who must have had a better offer, but within a few days of it going pending, the deal fell through and I put in an offer before anyone else had the chance. I offered a higher number than I had previously and shortened up the closing time to only 25 days! It all had to happen very fast, and Chi was always ready and efficient. The offer was accepted, and we closed on time with no problems at all. What is even more amazing is that I had to put less money down than what I expected, the rate was unchanged, and no hidden fees were added. I couldn’t believe how much better the rate he had was, as well as the amount down. Even the agent I was working with was shocked at how good he is at his job. She said that she will definitely refer her clients to him in the future. 

Chi and I actually became friends through the process. He is very personable, and never made me feel like I was asking stupid questions. He answered me with a thorough explanation that was easy to understand and made me feel like I could call him anytime if I needed anything else. Chi Nguyen really knows his stuff when it comes to mortgages. Buying a home is scary when you don’t know who to trust, but I got lucky and had the opportunity to work with Chi. I am fortunate to know him. He was always good at reminding me that buying a home should be fun, exciting and worth it once it is all done. I literally enjoyed the whole process from start to finish. Thank you, Chi.

She helped us get the best possible interest rate, checking lock advisory, so we could make the best choice when locking our rate. She was able to close our loan in 2 weeks, making our home purchase go smoothly. We highly recommend Carolyn!

I have nothing but good things to say about working with Carolyn! My girlfriend and I were first time home buyers and went into it knowing nothing. Carolyn's communication skills and expertise from beginning to end made it a very pleasant experience. She will answer all your questions, take the time to make sure everything is explained, and stays on top of her business to make sure nothing slips through the cracks. You can tell she cares and wants the best for her clients. Would highly recommend using Carolyn.

Washington First Mortgage finally got me out of refinance purgatory!My partner and I started this process 15 months ago. I had absolute confidence in the value of the property, the income it brings in, and I knew there was a ton of equity.But we were turned down, lender after lender after lender. I’ve lost count of the number of banks we applied with.Granted, we both have serious credit black marks. But we have since acquired several properties and have been up to date on our bills.One lender was about to approve us but their appraiser came in with a lowball value. I challenged it to no avail.Another lender strung us along for MONTHS with a pre-approval, and repeatedly asked for more and more documentation. There was always something new he needed, it was never-ending, and this guy never returned phone calls and never returned emails.Thank God I met Donald Hathaway and in turn, Tryg Satterlee. They told me with confidence that they could do the loan and the process was quick and relatively painless. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

We recently closed on a home mortgage loan. Our mortgage broker was Kelly Rose-Anderson. We are submitting this letter to congratulate Kelly on a job well done.Kelly located a lender with very competitive rates and provided us with options allowing us to choose our preference regarding fees and rates. Kelly learned we were going on vacation during the processing time and she took care of making sure our loan was processed quickly and accurately.Obtaining a home loan can be quite complicated because of all the rules and regulations involved. Kelly kept an open line of communication with us and answered all our questions to our satisfaction.We would recommend Kelly to friends and family and should we decide to re-finance in the future, Kelly is our first choice.

Michael is amazing!To start, as an industry veteran, he is very resourceful and help us get a loan above and beyond.He is very patient to answer all the question we have during the entire loan process. Therefore, Not only have we done the correct things by the right time, we but also understand why we do a specific thing at a particular time. This is super helpful for the first-time buyer.When we faced a credit score challenge, Michael really went out of his way to find every possible solution to get us favorable rates. His suggestion on improving credit score worked effectively and was later reflected in the loan we were given.Michael will do everything with his power to meet your requirements. What's more important, he is very approachable and responsive. You will never feel agonized about not finding him when you need.I strongly recommend him.
