Michael, Shane and all the others that we worked with at Sammamish were professional and personal. They made the refinancing process as painless as possible. I have already referred my niece to Sammamish.

Sammamish Mortgage Company has served the state of Washington and the Pacific Northwest since 1992.

Trust

Our closing costs are binding, which means that what we quote you is what you will pay; there are no surprises at closing!

Transparency

We offer multiple rate options for each product, and we don’t wrap up additional costs in your interest rate.

Freedom

Filling out a loan application is free and never obligates you to work with Sammamish Mortgage.

Flexibility

Our hybrid online and full-service system lets you choose your loan process without forcing you into one method that works best for us, as many mortgage companies do.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

We’re proud to be one of the top lenders in the country. Four of our Loan Officers have ranked in the top 150 originators nationally, two have ranked in the top 20 nationwide, and both have, at different times, been recognized as the #1 originator in the Pacific Northwest. Our team’s consistency and devotion to customer services have earned Sammamish Mortgage an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and hundreds of 5 Star reviews across a number of third-party review sites. That’s just the beginning of what we offer.

Get Started

The entire process was very easy and low pressure. I felt supported, with lots of  information and explanations. When I had questions, they were answered promptly in an understandable way. It felt odd to never have to go into your office, but it was extremely convenient to be able to complete all communication and paperwork by phone or online. I can’t imagine how you could have made the process any easier. Thank you.

Why choose Sammamish Mortgage as your mortgage company?

It’s Different At Sammamish Mortgage

Unlike many national lenders that offer limited options, Sammamish Mortgage gives you access to 20+ lending partners competing for your business. That means competitive rates, flexible loan programs, and expert guidance to help you choose the right mortgage. More than half of our business comes from returning clients—a reflection of the trust we’ve built through exceptional service.

Our goal

… to find a loan that best suits the borrower. We’re here to inform, not sell! We do not offer different bonuses based on which lender is selected, meaning that loan officers have no incentive to guide a prospective client into a loan that doesn’t work.

Efficiency also means lower costs than working with other companies

Remember that there can be more expenses to the mortgage process than the interest rate and closing fees.

Sammamish requires no upfront costs to apply, and customers don’t pay anything until they have their home appraised. Once the loan is secured, there are no prepayment penalties for putting money against the principal early.

As a regional boutique company, we have fewer moving parts. Fewer moving parts are key to making any system more efficient. We pass this efficiency onto you, our customer, by keeping our application and consultation completely free.

It is convenient to know the closing costs on your website for a variety of rates…and to send all loan documents through the secure inbox instead of email attachments (I really like this feature). We have successfully done three home refinances with Sammamish Mortgage. They are honest, efficient and we had lower closing costs than what we expected. The whole process was very smooth and we left with a very good experience. Thank you, Sammamish Mortgage Company, for the good work.
