Very good team of professionals to work with. I recently refinanced my home through them and I have nothing but praise for the team. All my questions were answered promptly either by email or phone to my satisfaction. The whole process was smooth and very transparent and it felt easier than car financing. I love their portal for uploading the docs and I knew exactly what documents are pending from my side and what I have submitted.

It's been great working with Sammamish. Ryan and his team was really helpful throughout the process. They made sure I got the best possible rate by first doing a rapid re-score of my credit score. And then few weeks after we locked the rate, interest rates further dropped and they gave me an even better rate. Overall, it was a great experience.

Ryan, Tiffany and Sandra did an amazing job; I couldn't be happier with the process and the results. They were very communicative at every step, went out of their way to accommodate an earlier close, and even managed to work in a lower interest rate than we had locked on. Not to mention they were already the lowest interest rate and lowest cost broker we looked at. Highly highly recommended.

2016: Working with Sammamish Mortgage has been amazing experience. Ryan and Betty closely worked with us starting day one. They were on top of everything that needs get us closed on time. We closed on 5/26 and never felt that Sammamish would delay our closing dates. Loan process went really smooth. Closing cost almost matched with what was promised in the estimated cost.I would strongly recommand everyone and would get back to them for any future needs. Overall I am 100% satisfied.Special thanks for Ryan and Betty for being patient and answering all our questions since it was our first purchase.One feedback: If lender could release the final loan documents to ESCROW well in advance we would get enough time for reviewing documents just before closure sign. We received a day to go through bunch of final closure loan documents.2019: We returned to Sammamish Mortgage on our new property purchase and as expected closed it on time. Ryan and Sandra were on top of the things and made the process seamless. I would definitely recommend sammamish Mortgage.

We are from CA, we searched the internet to see which mortgage company had the highest grade and found Sammamish mortgage. We are very happy with our choice. Nice, Bernice, Suzanne, Sandra, and Candi (hope we did not miss anyone) are professional, efficient, patient, and friendly. If you have questions, they respond quickly. They also referred us to a wonderful realtor and within two months from the time we contacted Sammamish mortgage, the whole process was complete and we had our new house in WA area. We will definitely recommend Sammamish mortgage company to families, friends, and coworkers when it comes to real estate business in this area.

From start to finish, Nick, Bernice and Sandra were professional as well as exceptional to work with while getting my loan processed. I can honestly say Sammamish Mortgage is the BEST Mortgage Company I have ever dealt with.They made sure I was kept up to date every step of the way and the entire process was low stress and a pleasant experience! If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would. My sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone at Sammamish Mortgage.

Being first time home buyers, the whole process felt very daunting. Once we took a class we learned to be patient and to find a good lender. Sammamish helped us understand the details of getting a loan and were quick to help. Their whole team was very helpful and the loan options they provided gave us a lot to think about, but really narrowed down the best financing options for us.

Working with Sammamish Mortgage was a great experience. There are lots of lenders out there and they all offer similar rates, so what differentiates them? Service, knowledge, and professionalism. Every person we worked with on our loan understood our needs and went the extra mile to make the loan happen. Most of the paperwork was handled online making it easy and fast for us. They even sent a notary to the house for signing the closing documents, saving us a trip. Their daily rate tracking and 30 day rate lock was invaluable in getting the best rate and lowest costs. All in all a great experience. I highly recommend Sammamish Mortgage.
