We moved from Ny to Wa and it was definitely a stressful ordeal in many ways… but Walt and his team made the entire lending process very easy even though we were across the country for a lot of the process. You guys were on top of every step and the weekly updates assured me that there was always progress being made.

You need to add adjectives like Phenomenal, Great is not enough. The reason the service was so amazing Walt did everything before I had questions on what the next process was.Additionally , he's a team player and just works seamlessly with everyone on his team. Mainly he made the act of financing a house feel like you are being helped by a caring family member. If you aren't having Walt get you a loan, quit it and call Walt. He is the dude.

The hardest part of this experience was collecting all the supporting documentation. Walt's team helped us through this.
Walt's team was very responsive when we need pre approvals as we made offers.

Walt and his team made our buying process as first time home buyers smooth and simple! Their communication through the entire process was superb. They answered all of our questions and inquiries on properties promptly and honestly. Once we found our dream house they helped us put everything together and be prepared for any and all hurdles that might come our way. We thought this difficult buyers market might make our dreams impossible, but with the help of Walt and his team we achieved it!!

Walt’s team was good at listening, provided great service through the whole process and was able to help us better than our own bank. Really solid people to work with.

I know we aren't the only customers of Walt's team. But it was sometimes difficult to get timely answers to questions. The case that sticks out most in my mind is getting the email about the house being manufactured, which had been previously overlooked. The email said to contact the team to discuss next steps, which we tried to do, at multiple numbers, but no member of the team was available to answer our calls. We did, eventually, get a call back, and everything got straightened out.

Walt and his team were extremely responsive - I love the team approach. Obviously, home buying can be a very stressful experience and there are lots of questions for individuals that aren’t seasoned pros... it was great to have a team that was willing and able to answer questions for us and help keep us on track!
- Katharyn R.

Prompt answers to all questions. Very informative and helpful staff. The whole process took about a month. This was my 5th closing and by far the easiest and most organized.

There were issues with my prior lender making it difficult to obtain a final payoff. The team worked very hard to make sure lines of communication stayed open and we finally got the payoff amount. Things went quickly after that and I had cash in hand within a week of the team receiving the information they needed.

Silverdale, WA Dec 5, 2020
Walt seemed nice enough in email and provided good service electronically, but we came away thinking that the process was transactional and not at all personal. Perhaps this is expected in the time of Covid. As a recently retired banker I can say that much work can be completed via email and secure messaging. However, a phone call with heads up now and again would have been a great touch.

My only negative feedback would be coming up with a different title company in Port Townsend. We arrived ontime for our appointment. We phone them from the parking lot. They told us they had to prepare the room, and to wait in our car. It was cold. If they made an appointment for a specific time, why weren't they ready? We finally got in but had to ask the staff person to put a regular mask on instead of a scarf. And we opened the door in the small room to get fresh air. It barely felt safe.

Walt was great. He was patient with us when we had questions and put in extra work to get all the different options layed out for us. He did our refinance for our second home as well as the new loan for the puches of our forever home. There were a lot of documents to be signed and a lot of information passing back and forth. He is a good juggler.

Walt took the time to make sure we had a solid plan of action to move forward with on home financing. Even though we felt a little unprepared, he gave us the confidence we needed to feel secure about purchasing a home. Ultimately, if it weren't for Walt we would not have been able to obtain an affordable, low cost loan that met all of our current goals. Thank you Walt & team for an amazing experience!
