My CLIENT TESTIMONIALS:
Our experience with Prestige Home Mortgage was great! The loan was approved and processed a lot faster than we expected. Michael was careful to explain the procedures and answer all the questions we had about refinancing our home. It was very convenient and I already recommend him to a few co-workers.
T. Sasseen - Vancouver, WA
We found that Prestige Home Mortgage were very friendly and gave us prompt efficient service. Everything was upfront with no surprises. Michael was a pleasure to deal with; we will gladly recommend this mortgage company to anyone seeking a mortgage.
S. Hill - Eugene, OR
We were in a hurry and needed someone knowledgeable. Thanks to Prestige Home Mortgage our family is home; warm, safe, happy and secure. The lease property we lived in was being foreclosed on and our lease up. We were working with a broker who dropped the ball after 5 weeks, nearly costing us the roof over our heads. Credit and down payment challenged with only 20 days to be moved out, we called Michael. He introduced us to Karen from Hasson Company Realty, Karen really jumped on the ball. Within an hour we were looking at new listing within our buget. Michael and his team really went above and beyond to help us find and close on our purchase in 17 days. We can't thank you enough for working so dilligently under extreme pressure. You are true life savers! By the way... we love our fully upgraded "Model Home".
