What a fantastic experience we had getting our mortgage through this company. Small, local business that goes the extra mile for their clients. They made the entire experience very smooth, guiding us every step of the way, while also … More being a responsible lender and keeping us at a manageable mortgage. Abel made what is probably the most stressful part of homebuying a piece of cake, and found us a really good interest rate that was better than the bigger banks. Definitely recommend this company if you want a personal experience that will leave you satisfied at the end of the process. -
Like many people these days, our home search has been long and arduous. Abel, Tracie, and the Northwest Mortgage team exceeded our expectations by a mile! They’re professional yet personal, local, and they will always (and I mean always) … More answer your call. To top it all, they beat our bank rate by over half a percent! If you’re searching for a home, I cannot recommend Northwest Mortgage Services! Thank you Abel and Tracie!

22 days from start to finish on a refinance. Abel even took on the computerization process because my husband is computer phobic. Everything was done in a very timely and friendly manner. My wife and I will not hesitate to use Northwest … More Mortgage Services in the future. Many kudos to Abel for tolerating my idiosyncrasies.

Able and I worked together many years ago and I was a fan then. Fast forward years later I’m even more of a fan!! Abel was there to guide through my refi step by step and no matter what came up on my end he was there to help me navigate … More the process!!! I totally recommend working Abel and his company to purchase or refi your next home!!
