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.

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!

Bremerton, WA Jul 8, 2019
The two biggest stresses we had during our home buying process were lender driven, the first relatively minor, was a last minute change in the type of loan, the second and most negative was a delay in our closing driven by the lender’s inability to process paperwork in a timely fashion. This caused us to have to pay more money and reschedule our move... communication during this time from Walt was sparse, and we didn’t really have forewarning that this could happen until the day it fell through.

The care and detail your team gave us was top notch. Every member was very helpful and answered every question we had throughout this process. As first time buyers, we never worried about “ what’s next” or those surprise little taskers needing a signature or eyes on ASAP because Walt and his team of professionals were on it! They really care for their client/s and that says a lot especially during a time where buyers need to be in the know and they definitely do that and more! Thanks so much!
