Why Do You Need to be a Diamond Homebuyer?

When you’re a Diamond Homebuyer, your offer will stand out from the crowd of standard pre-approved offers.

Underwritten Pre-approvals

Far better than a normal pre-approval or pre-qualification, we move underwriting to the beginning of the buying process. Instead of waiting to get an official loan underwrite until after you get an offer accepted, put your earnest money down, order an appraisal and inspection; we move this part of the process up-front before you make an offer on a home. This provides sellers with a virtual guarantee that you can close quickly and on-time with no unexpected surprises in underwriting after the home is under contract. It will enable you to be as close to an all-cash buyer as you can get while still obtaining a mortgage.

We ensure your offer stands out from the crowd

With an underwritten loan approval, you can have full confidence to remove financing contingencies and compete with all-cash buyers without taking on risk of the loan falling apart at the last minute.

We prepare an Appraisal Gap Strategy to help you make a stronger offer

Our experienced loan officers will put together a strategy that will give you flexibility in the event the appraisal comes in low without significantly impacting your cash due at closing or your monthly payment. With home prices rising quickly don’t allow an appraisal using past sales derail your new home purchase.

We call the listing agent to verify your ability to close on-time

With bidding wars being a regular occurrence, we make sure the sellers know how and why your offer is stronger than the rest of the pack. You’ve worked hard to get yourself financially prepared to buy a home. We help you put your best foot forward and ensure there is no question in the seller’s mind that things will move quickly and smoothly if your offer is accepted.

Transparent Rates Available 24/7

We have nothing to hide! We allow our clients to see current rates and costs specific to their situation online. Never guess what the current rates are and what your payment would look like on a property you are considering making an offer on. Have confidence that we will always quote you real available rates regardless of what part of the home buying process you’re in.

Close in 3 weeks or less

By moving the majority of the work involved in the mortgage process to before you make an offer on a property, we not only remove the stress of the mortgage process, but we also enable to you to close quicker and gain a competitive advantage over other homebuyers.

Our team of Loan Officers are on call 7 days a week

Even the best Loan Officers get sick, go on vacation or have a life outside of work. Don’t risk having a Loan Officer that’s not available when you need them most. Our team model allows us to have experienced licensed Loan Officer’s (not Loan Officer Assistants) available 7 days a week. They’ll be able to answer any questions that you might have, update loan approval letters or make the helpful call to a seller’s realtor on your behalf.

Freedom

Flexibility

Nick and Barb did a great job processing our transaction. They secured lower rates and went above and beyond in a unique transaction. Would highly recommend them.

As a first time homebuyer the entire process was incredibly daunting! Ryan and his team walked us through everything step by step and made the process easy. They were transparent, timely, and easy to work with. I truly felt like Ryan and his team were always looking out for our best interests. He and his team are very compassionate and I highly recommend them!

A few months ago I was applying for a loan, and Nick did a fantastic job with explaining all the details, answering all the questions I had, and providing competitive quotes. I had a great experience and would recommend this place and Nick as a loan officer!

Clint Edwards is the best loan officer we have ever met! We will recommend him to all of our family and friends! He did an excellent job helping us purchase our home! He is very dedicated, and he is passionate with his job! Absolutely enjoyed buying our home thanks to his hard work and dedication to help us understand every step of the way! He is very patient, and very flexible with time and kind towards us. He is knowledgeable about the home market and was willing to explain to us with charts and keep us informed on the current market. It was a pleasure working with Clint Edward, and if we need to purchase or refinance our home, we will definitely be reaching him out! He is phenomenal! Thank you so much! We are so happy he was on our team for our home purchase!

I worked with Onstad-Hawes and he helped me understand how we could truly do a no cost refi. It sounds too good to be true, and after having him walk me through the loan disclosure like 10x times it finally clicked. Nick is a great teacher, hes patient and doesnt mind reiterating things if they arent clicking. By the time we got to signing I was able to talk through folks in the industry on how our refi was no cost and why it made so much sense and was an awesome idea. Also, Sammamish has amazing rates, no origination fee, and unbeatable lender credits. I shopped around and nothing came close. Ive been recommending Nick and Sammamish to everyone I know. Feel free to shop around if you want, but Im confident Sammamish cant be beat.

We were very lucky to be able to work with Ryan and team to buy our happy Seattle home. Without Ryans help and counsel, this wouldnt have been possible. Ryans acumen in the lending industry, strong network of real estate professionals and value-add experts, and his collegiate responsiveness (we felt VERY supported throughout) is beyond impressive and clearly an asset when home buying in a region like Seattle / WA. My husband and I were able to easily trust all his insights - which he always backs with fact and tons of data (which we both love to see when were making decisions!). We are so grateful and over the moon - Thank you so much Ryan! And also a huge thank you to Allen (who referred us to you, and equally a major class act in the industry!)

We had the pleasure to work with Nick and Barb. They were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process. Nick and Barb were available for us when most of the people were out of town and unavailable (July 4th), which helped us get the approval letter and put an offer the next day. That secured us the property we were hunting for over a year. Highly recommend Sammamish mortgage!
