HomePro Associates – Recommended Lenders

We have several lenders we enjoy working with that we have found to get good results for our clients.

My Recommended Lenders - Website Page
I’m Emily Cressey, real estate broker – thank you for putting your trust in me to help you connect with a responsive, well-qualified lender here in the Seattle area.

Using a local in-town lender with a small bank or mortgage brokerage company assures that you get excellent service and responsive people you can actually call, email, and talk to.

While you CAN work with any lender, some buyers have found that working with bigger companies or online lenders is not as appealing because the customer service is not as good and sellers worry that these types of institutions won’t reliably close.

I would suggest either calling/emailing them to set up an appointment (phone or in-person) to discuss your situation, or you can just visit their website and apply online if you want to cut to the chase.
