My experience with Sammamish mortgage has been nothing but wonderful. Everyone in their staff is cordial and very responsive. I’ve worked with them for the last couple of years and I’ve refinanced through them multiple times and my experience has been very positive. I personally enjoy working with their owner Ryan who ensures that I get the best Interest rates and support. Highly recommend them!

Exceptionally smooth and easy. I have been getting financing for real estate for over 45 years. I've worked with banks, S & Ls, mortgage brokers and online lenders, (online lenders are the worst!), and I am so thankful to have found Sammamish, this is the second time in 7 months that my family has used Sammamish Mort. Ryan Shane and Stacy Roy were outstanding, such a pleasure to work with, I have no reservations about recommending them, they have my whole- hearted 100% endorsement. This is a family run company that knows what they are dong, are 100% professional, ethical, and efficient......completely trustworthy! I can't say enough good things about them. All this AND we got a great rate and terms! (And I do shop the rate and terms.) Thank you Sammamish Mortgage.

We used Sammamish to purchase our home and to refinance. Trevor Shane and the rest of the team are always professional and a pleasure to speak with. They are available and respond quickly via email or phone. We had smooth and painless transactions both times. Refinance rates were better than other places too! It's also nice to be able to support smaller, family businesses.

Ryan and his team did a fantastic job with our latest refinance. It was the easiest one we've ever done, even in the middle of the pandemic! His rates were as good as or beat the competition and the closing cost were completely transparent and very fair. Everyone we worked with was very responsive and took time to answer any questions we had. The new rate we got is saving us significant money and really has a material impact on my family's finances. Thank you!

We did tons of research on our end to find a knowledgeable and straightforward mortgage company to help us finance our 2nd house back in August. We’re so happy we chose Sammamish Mortgage and are still sharing our experience with others who are looking to buy. Big thanks to Ryan S and Suzanne T who kept everything easy and smooth sailing since day 1. All questions were answered in detail, fees were transparent, and they went above and beyond to get us the best rates from the beginning through the time we closed and moved into our new home. They were nothing but exceptional throughout the entire process and were also accommodating with our off and on, quick-changing closing date from the selling agent. Thank you, Ryan and team!

Okay, so, I realize I'm biased but I was really blown away by Lori's customer service skills! She was just so friendly, and patient, and knowledgeable! I really felt taken care of by her throughout this process, she was readily available to answer any questions, made sure I understand every step of the process, and was just there for me! Talking to her was the highlight of my day :) And I have absolutely no doubt that our relationship had no impact on how she treated me, I am confident that she treats all of her other customers with the same personable, outgoing, eager, and supportive attitude. I would recommend Lori and Sammamish Mortgage to anyone, very positive experience!!

I wholly appreciate the complete transparency in what has been one of the biggest financial decisions of my life. I look forward to recommending them to my friends and family as they were recommended to me.

All four of my experience with Sammamish Mortgage had been awesome. Super competitive pricing. And from the beginning to end your were clear and transparent, no surprises (fee nor process). I highly recommended.

As a REALTOR, I deal with lenders almost daily, some good some not so good. Sammamish Mortgage gave me a great experience with my personal mortgage refinance, and an excellent rate package that our in-house lender could not match. The process was seamless and communication was excellent. I have already referred a client to check out this company and will do so again in the future.

I felt confident the whole time working with the Sammammish Mortgage team. I had one or 2 struggles uploading some non-standard docs (multiple w2’s) to the website but they handled it great and were super responsive. They also helped to let me know my home owners insurance was going up and worked with me while I found a new company. All in all- great rates and great experience

We bought our first house with mortgage from Sammamish Mortgage company. Also we did a refinance with them about 2 years later. Each time gave us best interest rates.On top of that they were very supportive, quick to respond, even to our longest lists of questions. They able to close deals very fast, usually less than 30 days.Very satisfied, thank you Ryan, Sandra, and the team!

Ryan's team was wonderful to work with. Our refinance was fast and hassle free. Sammamish Mortgage locked us in on a GREAT rate. 5 stars!!!

Great experience with these folks, both for the original mortgage as first-time home buyers, and with a recent refinance once rates dropped enough to make that an attractive option. Bonus points for making accurate, detailed loan rate information available on their website without requiring a bunch of personal information first.

I had a great experience with Sammamish Mortgage. Ryan and his team worked hard to make our refinance happen. Sammamish had one of the lower rates around and Ryan's team was very knowledgeable. They kept us in the loop at all times and closed very quickly on the loan.

We own a fair amount of property and are familiar with bank lending practices. We were pleasantly surprised by Sammamish Mortgage. The offered us a great rate and handled the loan pretty well, though they were a little confused by the complexity of our information. Overall, they are a cut above other banks we have dealt with.

By far the best Mortgage company. They listen to what you need and deliver. I can honestly say they are unbeatable. We switched to them WHILE closing on our house because the last company did not listen to what I needed. They made the entire process as if nothing happened. Switching mortgage companies while in contact on a house is stressful and not easy, but could not have don't it without Ryan and his team. Their impression on me is a company I will stay with forever. New house and refinancing.

What I liked best is the responsiveness. Trevor always got back to me quickly with answers to my questions. I greatly appreciated that. Plus, Sammamish told me up front what I could get and they stuck to that. All in all, they made it as smooth and as easy as it could be.

We recently worked with Sammamish Mortgage to refinance our home. It was the second time we worked with them, and for good reason. Sammamish provided us with an excellent service, they were super helpful in answering questions and finding the right product for us. The closing process can be daunting but they made it very simple and painless, I still can't believe how easy it was. Thanks again for the great work!

I just purchased and sold my home with Samamish, and I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a reliable, easy to work with company that offers incredible interest rates. I live in port angeles, and even with them being hours away I didn’t once have to leave town to sign anything. I used them last year to refinance as well and it went just as smoothly. As much as you May think shopping for interest rates in your hometown is a good idea, I’ve done that. I spent hours searching, and this company hands down offers the lowest and best. You won’t be disappointed.

Mark Smith and the Sammamish Mortgage team are highly experienced and knowledgeable, responsive, and nice. They made what is known to be a stressful process smooth. Their online application and secure server are easy to use. I can't imagine doing business with any other mortgage company.

The whole team was great to work with. The process was thorough and every step of the way was explained to us along with giving us updates when waiting for a given step to complete. Ryan was personable, very knowledgeable, and provided us with several options tailored to our situation. Great lender!

This is the second loan we have closed with Sammamish mortgage. They are fast, efficient, extremely competent, and accommodating.Everything was accomplished online, we were guided through the entire process. Never felt uninformed.Even final documents were signed at our home!

The best experience I’ve had with a lender in the 3 purchases and two refinances I’ve done. Being able to see the price you pay and actually paying that price was refreshing. 100% recommend this company.

I had an absolutely incredible experience with Sammamish Mortgage. Every staff member throughout this whole process has been wonderful, communicative, and very knowledgeable. My first contact was Trevor Shane and then Suzanne Thirtyacre. I bought a new house and sold our old house and they were fantastic making sure we closed in a very timely matter (we closed 26 days after they received my INITIAL application). to ensure a simultaneous closing date on both houses. I shopped rates before committing to Sammamish, who beat the numerous other banks out by .25% AND over half the price in closing costs. I literally saved my family and I over $20,000 by going with Sammamish and on top of that had an amazing customer service experience. It can seriously not get any better than this bank and I will forever recommend them to any of my buying friends and family. Thank you Sammamish Mortgage!!

Ryan and his team were very supportive throughout the entire application process! Our Loan Processor Angel was very responsive when we had questions. The closing process went very smooth and we were able to close on time! We had a great first-time experience working with them as our lender. Ryan and his teams customer service is definitely A+, compared to other lender's on the market. Customer service and timely communication were really important to us, as this was our first home purchase. We will definitely work with Sammamish Mortgage in the future.

Sammamish is very transparent about their rate offer. The process of quote is pretty non-intrusive not like other lenders that would try to take all personal information from you before you can do a simply quote. The whole loan application process is as stress-free as possible as they claimed.

Look no further, Sammamish Mortgage is the mortgage company for you! Extremely low rates and fees. Communication (Nick and Betty) was outstanding. Our no-cost refinance to a lower rate was nearly effortless. We're very satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend.

Nick, Ryan, Stacey and the whole team made this process easier than I ever could have imagined. Always able to answer questions even if it was 9pm at night(thanks Nick) and always in a timely matter. Not to mention that they were the best deal by far when it came to closing costs and interest rate. Highly recommended!

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.
