Satisfied Clients

"Bellevue Home Mortgage was recommended to us by our financial advisor. At the time we had three mortgages covering two properties. BHM helped us consolidate all three into one - at a very attractive rate. The process was smooth, efficient and very quick. John DesCamp answered all of our questions and kept us informed of all progress related to our application. Great service, great rates. The experience was everything we could have hoped for."

"This is our second time using Bellevue Home Mortgage for our refinance, John Descamp in particular and once again everything went extremely smoothly. Their process is amazingly efficient, with email updates all along the way, and the fastest closing in history. Of course, we got a great rate too! We would strongly recommend BHM to our friends and associates."

"Bellevue Home Mortgage makes the loan process simple, painless, and in my experience is the gold standard in the mortgage industry for customer service. When interest rates dropped in December I first called the bank that owned my mortgage, figuring they would be able to offer the best deal. After waiting on hold for 30 minutes I was given an offer, told I’d have to apply and lock right now, and “might” be able to close in 60 days. If not I’d have to call back, wait on hold, and explain my situation again to whoever answered the phone.

Then I called John. We had a conversation where he listened to what I was trying to accomplish and advised me on loan program options. He offered a very competitive price, made the process simple end to end, and we closed the loan in a couple of weeks. Whenever I had questions they were typically answered within minutes, not hours or days. John is proactive, customer-focused, and follows through like nobody I’ve ever dealt with in the mortgage business. He does what he says he’s going to do, no games, no high-pressure sales. Once I decided to finally lock the rate the loan was closed within days.

Thanks again for the great experience. I look forward to doing business together again in the future."

"Bellevue Home Mortgage has handled 3 mortgage refinances for me. Each time the rate was locked within 24 hours, and the loan closed within 3 weeks. All I had to do was submit or update my financial data, and then show up on the appointed day to sign the papers. My mortgage was transferred to the new lender with no problems or effort on my part; even my insurance company switched to the new lenders seamlessly. It was much easier than I expected the first time, and subsequent times were faster still because Bellevue Mortgage only needed to update my file. One thing I appreciate is that Bellevue Mortgage checks email throughout the day, which means I never had to play phone tag. I refinanced at successively lower rates as they dropped, and at no cost! I researched competitive mortgage rates on the Internet to verify that I got the lowest rate available (one time I found a lower rate and they matched it). I also eliminated my mortgage insurance payment and received a free appraisal. Refinancing was the easiest money I ever saved and their service was always excellent."

"I have financed or refinanced with Bellevue Home Mortgage nearly a half of dozen times. That is probably the finest complement one can give a mortgage broker. Their service has been impeccable, their rates equal or better their competitors, and they know every detail about the industry. I recommend them to all my friends."

"They originally contacted us via a "cold-call form" letter, offering a no-cost refinance of our home mortgage. We had received several letters around that time and were definitely interested in refinancing for a lower interest rate if we could do so for no cost to us. However, when I called other mortgage brokers and loan officers who had sent us letters, they changed their offers from what their "cold-call form" letters had offered - either requiring a large "good faith deposit" which was supposedly refundable at closing, or they were unwilling to speak to me truthfully about what a no-cost refinance loan involved (e.g., a somewhat higher interest rate in exchange for no cost versus a lower interest rate that required us to pay closing costs).
However, Bellevue Home Mortgage was very different from the other mortgage people. They were truthful, patient with my questions, and were true to their "cold-call form" letter in what they could offer us. They were willing to discuss loan options with me and were knowledgeable about various different loans. When we decided to pursue the refinance, they followed through perfectly with every detail, including inspection date, closing date, and our request to pay our own property taxes. They responded to my emails immediately (same day) when I had questions, and they did exactly what they promised us - such a nice surprise from a mortgage loan broker! Working with them was also perfectly convenient - they sent documents to us (always with a prepaid return envelope) for signatures and they came to our house to allow us to sign the final documents without having to disrupt our family's evening schedule. In addition to their outstanding service, convenience, and responsiveness, they saved us a lot of money over four refinances."
"Last Fall, a woman whose daughter is in school with our son, approached me because she had received a "cold call" flyer from a mortgage broker. Steve's and my name were listed on the flyer (without our permission!!) as being satisfied clients of that broker. I was horrified because that broker had handled our loan so badly that we almost missed getting our loan approved (due to the broker's neglect). The woman then asked if I could recommend a good broker. It was a pleasure to be able to say, "Yes, we know a great mortgage broker!" I told her that Bellevue Mortgage was not a typical broker - their honesty, trustworthiness, courtesy, knowledge, experience, follow-through and willingness to provide a high level of service set them apart."

"As someone who does the majority of my business on-line, it was refreshing to work with Bellevue Mortgage on a recent refinance. They were responsive, creative, and flexible in helping us get the best deal in the least amount of time - with no phone tag or exhausting requests for additional paperwork. Compared to other folks I've worked with in the business, Bellevue Home Mortgage was a pleasure to do business with. We are extremely satisfied, and are confident in highly recommending Bellevue Home Mortgage for those who want professional service and the best rates combined with extreme efficiency."

"Let it be known that I have dealt with Bellevue Home Mortgage for the past several years. This year I sold a rental property and had to deal with the buyer's mortgage broker. This was an eye opening experience, since I have been spoiled by great service of Bellevue Home Mortgage. They have the experience to answer all my questions, and the professionalism not to embarrass either of us. The buyer's mortgage broker mentioned above, could not answer any of my questions. Her lack of professionalism made me embarrassed for her, and uncomfortable in her presence. Anyone who uses Bellevue Home Mortgages' expertise will never be disappointed. Hopefully I will never have to deal with anyone else again."

"My time and scheduling are tight, and my travels take me all around the world. So when it comes to financing and refinancing, it is indeed a pleasure to work with Bellevue Home Mortgage.
Their experience and responsiveness to my needs are second to none, and their ability to get the best pricing continues to amaze me. I continue to rely on them for all my mortgage needs. Their service is impeccable: a simple phone call and a short trip to their office is all I have to do to secure a loan or refinance on my home."

My husband and I live in Portland, and in the beginning we were a little apprehensive about hiring a mortgage broker who worked out of our state, albeit only 180 miles away. However, we soon discovered that our reservations were completely unfounded, and the service we received was without flaw. From the pre-approval process all the way through closing, our broker provided expertise which proved invaluable, and he made the loan approval process a pleasant one. He also helped us overcome some tricky timing issues, and we were able to close much faster than I had expected.
After speaking with friends about their experiences with other mortgage brokers, I can say that this kind of service is the exception! We have referred countless clients to Bellevue Home Mortgage, and will continue to do so in the future.
We have since bought a second home using the same broker, and are closing in on securing a third. We could never have done it without the talent, professionalism and determination of Bellevue Mortgage.

"I was extremely impressed with Bellevue Mortgages' total management of the refinancing process. Out of 6 or more home finances I have done over the years, they made this the best experience by a huge margin. I shopped price very aggressively, and Bellevue Morgage was ahead. I explained my refinance objectives, and they met each one: No hassles, easy appraisals, one stop signing, little or no time required from me, minimal paperwork up front, no goof ups on signing, no funny-business on rate changes or lock-ins. The final process went so smoothly that my wife and I had extra time for lunch, and we spent the whole lunch discussing how well the deal went. I highly recommend Bellevue Mortgage to everyone looking for home financing."

"Working with Bellevue Mortgage has been an absolute pleasure. I have gone through the financing/re-financing process 5 times and Bellevue Mortgage comes out at the top. Their rates are very competitive. Once I gave them a set of documents that they asked for, I never had to bother about anything else. Everything was smooth and streamlined. No surprises and the whole process took 2 weeks. What a pleasure!"

"Working with Bellevue Mortgage was an absolute pleasure. Their persistence in finding us the most appropriate mortgage vehicle, and their tenacious attention to detail (and followup) would serve as an example to anyone in the financial services industry.
People who understand quality and service are going to be the long-term winners in any category, and they understand both."

"At Bellevue Mortgage the service is first class and the pricing can't be beat. I made one visit to BHM and all my needs were taken care of in less than an hour. No hassling with 3rd parties, they take care of every detail in their own office. After just one visit, I am a customer for life. "

"Working with Bellevue Home Mortgage on refinancing our mortgage was easier than a trip to the grocery store. After a short initial phone conversation with our broker to determine the ideal loan for our situation, we faxed a few documents over to BHM. Our broker took care of all the details. I just had to be home for 30 minutes while we got our house appraised. A couple weeks later, we met for just 30 minutes at their office and signed the closing documents. I think the most time consuming element of the whole process was trying to get the document feeder on my fax machine to work!
The whole process, including traveling time, took up less than 2 hours. And we saved nearly $250 on our monthly mortgage payments.
BHM makes the refinancing process super simple and also got us bottom line results. Our broker really listened to us, always let us know what was going on and was also a great guy! We will definitely use BHM in the future and highly recommend BHM to anyone seeking financing assistance with a home purchase."

"Hey there,

I was just going to send you a thank you for coming to the signing with me. I'm sure I would have been a little stressed out signing all those documents and you being there made all the difference! Also, thanks for helping out with my loan and offering to just give advice had I gone with another broker. I will gladly recommend you to any friends looking for a loan. I'll let you know when we have our house-warming, you and your wife will have to come by.

Talk to you soon-"

We are moving in on Friday.... Thanks for everything, as always you were great to work with, Shelly at Ballard Escrow also appreciated your promptness and profesionalism.... thanks again."

John:
Just a quick note to say that we are VERY pleased (AGAIN) to have worked with you and your team. Our experiment was working with John Sr. this time, and he provided the same excellent levels of professionalism, responsiveness, and creativity in setting things up for our new home in Magnolia that you showed during numerous refinancings of our previous homes on Mercer Island and in Clyde Hill. As in the past, I got positive feedback from the real estate agents and the escrow company as they worked with Bellevue Home Mortgage. I'm pleased to have been able to direct others to you, and look forward to dealing with you again in the future.

Warm regards, Ed and Jeanne

Dear John,
Thank you for your work in obtaining financing for our new home. We realize that our situation was a bit unusual and appreciated your flexibility and knowledge of the various financing programs that led to arranging the most appropriate loan. We value personable and professional service and felt we were,in good hands. From our first meeting where you spent considerable time learning of our financial situation and views, to the signing, it was clear that your focus was on our unique situation. When there were hiccups, we were confident that you would manage the process to a satisfactory conclusion. While we're not looking forward to another move, we certainly will look forward to working with you again.

Warm regards,

John,
As always, you and Suzi provided superb service for us. It isn't lost on me that you were the one who originally recommended Dave to us also. This time around he got us a house off market and had the perfect game plan for the sale of our house. I feel sorry for the people who work with anyone else but you all.
