Neal and Ellie are an AMAZING TEAM to work with!!! They were not only quick at communicating, but they were organized, professional, knowledgeable and most importantly personable.
As a Realtor, I worked with several different loan officers; however, none can compare to Neal and Ellie! I had the privilege of working with them not only when I was obtaining a loan for my own home, but also for several of my clients. Everytime, they exceeded my expectations. Stress free! All of my clients were ext

Ethan was extremely helpful and guided me through every twist and turn of the home buying process. I was very hesitant, given my age and gender, that I would be taken advantage of, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! Ethan was extremely communicative, kind, and responsive to every question I had (day or night). He went above and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable during the biggest milestone in my life thus far. I only wish I could buy another home just to work with him again! 12/10!

This was a very difficult transaction and not at all typical. Since we live on the East Coast the time change made it difficult
We have multiple sources of income and complex financial documents
All of which made it unusual
However given the challenges we believe Mike handled them extremely well
One problem that could be addressed in cases such as ours would be better coordination between his team members to eliminate duplicate requests for materials already provided

Our property was very difficult to fund due to a number of reasons. It’s unique location, short suspense, delayed appraisal, shortened county courthouse hours, etc. all added to that difficulty. Neal worked hard through all this, even while at the Doctor's office with a broken ankle to get us to closing on time! Thanks Neal!

Neal is the best! He helped each and every step of the financing of the house purchase stating with quickly evaluating my credit, rescoring my credit within 1 week, and eventually closing with great loan rate and terms. It was just the best experience one could have. Neal made it happen for me! Thank you Neal!

A combination of things made the whole process go well. Communication is key, and the communication moved very well with all parties involved. I know sometimes the process can get bogged down because the clients don't respond to the request from lenders. That was not the case here, everyone involved executed and the process went extremely well.
Thank You Michael, & team!!!

He was incredibly thorough, encouraging and kind as well as always available for any questions or concerns. I’m a first time home buyer, so I was fully expecting the whole process to be tricky and scary and the numbers to all feel overwhelming — but, working with Mike and team felt like being among friends and the whole experience was very positive!

Mike was amazing at how fast he worked to finance our new home. We were going to go with Chase but the representative failed on so many levels, communication, loosing information, the immediacy to helping us. A lot of time was wasted until it became evident that Chase would come through. Victor Shoemaker at the Kelley Group recommended Mike and we were not disappointed.
Highly impressed with his communication, keeping us informed of the status of our lending application, I can go on and on

- Allison D.
Milwaukie, OR Aug 10, 2020
Quick response and corrections, weekly updates, excellent advocate for interest rates and financing options. Only improvement I’d mention is that he sometimes mixed up my situation (came from home rental but mentioned sold my house, etc), which can come across as too busy to give personalized service (think large corps vs small local businesses in dealing with customers). Overall would highly recommend, glad Maggie Armstrong pointed us in your direction. I otherwise don’t think we would’ve met!

Liz was amazing to work with for our home refinance. She was easy to communicate with, went above in beyond to get us great rates, and made the whole process run smoothly. We are very pleased with everything Liz did for us and look forward to using her again for future mortgage needs.

Buying a house can be a stressful process and having a lender like neal made it such a smooth ride. He went above and beyond to get us the house we really wanted. This guy truly works day/night to make things happen. I am in total awe of his dedication and skills. Not only does he have a huge heart but will also make sure hes thinking of things we didnt. We had many bumps in the road and at every time neal worked through the night to find solutions. He is not just a lender to us but is friend

I had the smoothest, best, most wonderful transaction with a home (or any large purchase) that I've ever had with Liz. Her calm, professional, friendly, no-worries demeanor kept my roller coaster personality even-tempered through the whole transaction. They made it seem easy and removed any roadblocks before they could get to me. Liz and her team are wonderful to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough.

I had previously worked with Neal before. Because of
His knowledge, his humor and his genuine caring to make it a smooth transaction I knew that no one could compare with his hard work and commitment to do everything he can to make for a good experience.
I will alway's work with Neal. I have referred him to two people. One has already worked with him and was very satisfied. The other will be contacting him. You have a valuable asset in Neal.

Mike was very easy to deal with. I would work with him again when they time comes. There’s nothing bad about my experience. The only options were “great” or “ok.” It was better than ok but I don’t know if I would go as far as say everything was great. My experience was “good”

Mike and the entire team were simply superb. My mortgage process was complicated in that its not a straight W2 income situation. While the process was involved, Mike and the team made it relatively easy and straight forward. Every time there was a problem, the team always had a solution. I can not express how truly impressed I was with Fairway. I plan to tell everyone that I come across that is looking for a mortgage to phone Fairway.
- Vincent M.
Portland, OR Jul 31, 2019
Our loan process was complicated and challenging to say the least, a prior lender we were working with admitted it was too difficult for them and removed themselves from the deal. Mike stepped in and navigated through the process like a pro and ultimately closed the loan for us. Communication was excellent, advice was expert, and the end result was a new home. Whether your loan process is simple or complicated, I highly recommend Mike and his team to make it happen for you!

Neal is amazing! He is so patient and kind. You just don’t find anyone that sets the bar super high in customer service. He walked both my husband and myself through every question in sometimes several times to make sure we understood every step. I hope to work with Neal for all of our future real estate loans. He is the best we have ever worked with and hope to work with him again. Thank you, Laura Merritt

Liz was there for my husband and I every step of the way. Anytime I needed her she was always a text or phone call away immediately! (Which we needed often) lol this was our first house, and a lot of the paperwork was very confusing at first glance, she always was able to break it down for us so we would be able to understand. So unbelievably grateful for her, and wouldn’t have wanted anyone else. 100% recommended! 🙌🏻😊
