Client Testimonials:

There are a lot of lenders to choose from, but Dirk has consistently proven to me that he just does a better job than the rest. He takes the time to educate his clients about loans and the finance industry to help them choose the program that best fits their needs. I am always impressed with his honesty, willingness to help me out after business hours and on the weekend and ability to think outside the box. In my experience, very few lenders care enough to coach their clients to help them improve their credit (if necessary) or give them honest advice about whether it is advisable to refinance their existing loan, attend escrow signings or meet you in your home to explain what are sometimes complicated loan choices. Dirk does all these things and I probably don't thank him enough for it.

Dana Johnston, Windermere Queen Anne

We started contacting Dirk to work on some of our more challenging situations, and Dirk quickly won us over on the majority of our business. We have since used him personally on our own purchases. He is our lending rock star! And besides that, we just like him and so do our clients! Thank you Dirk!

April Rauch & Leah Davidson, Windermere

I wanted to express my gratitude on your help in making this loan happen. It is going to be a great help in achieving our goals, thanks again. It was done in a timely manner, with absolutely no hassle, and very professional. Again, I extend my gratitude and recommendations to you and your team.

Mike Fox, Burlington

Dirk was very thorough and full of lots of simple explanations of how he could provide us with financing to purchase our second home. He was always available and able to assist and answer any questions we had. He was a wonderful listener and able to put together a package that was exactly what we wanted and needed.

The Pina's, Magnolia

Dirk did an outstanding job when I purchased and later refinanced my home. He has a keen awareness of when to lock in rates which has saved me hundreds of dollars a month. On top of this, he provides wonderful service. With Dirk you get the best service, he lays out clearly all your options and he has great awareness of when to lock in low rates. You could not ask for anything more and that is why I highly ecommend him!

Mark Maleng, Ballard

Although this thank you is long overdue, we have thought many times how your resourcefulness, creativity, and meticulousness has made the entire loan process smooth, seamless, and as painless as it could have been given the uncertain financial circumstances. We truly appreciate your straight forwardness, accessibility, and completeness. We wish you continued success as we are sure that many will benefit from your knowledge and experience.

Rob & Emily Seddon, Queen Anne

Dirk was incredible during the entire process of buying our new home. This is our first home and neither my husband nor I had any idea on how to purchase a home. Dirk was wonderful in explaining how the process worked and showed us several options that were available to us and explained them to us so we understood the entire process not just for the purchase, but he also took the time to make sure we understood more about being a home owner and all of the benefits that with that, and also some of the things that we wanted to consider for when the time comes to sell as well.

Shauna Jarman, Granite Falls

I would like to highly recommend Dirk as a qualified mortgage broker and advisor. Without the financial expertise and persistence, I would not be enjoying life in my new condominium in Wallingford. Being a first time home buyer, I anticipated some stressful situations, and this particular purchase was no easy task. Dirk worked tirelessly in his pursuit of finding the best loan for my situation, and really helped put my mind at ease during some of the most demanding moments.

Anne Dixon, Wallingford

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the exceptional service you provided us. We have done refinancing of previous mortgages, but none have been executed in such a prompt and professional manner as this one.

Bill Quinn, Anderson Island WA

I highly recommend Dirk as a qualified mortgage broker and advisor. Dirk has been an invaluable player on my real estate team and has proven to be exceptional in several respects from pre-qualification through closing and beyond.
