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 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 quickly and on time

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 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.

Transparency

We offer multiple rate options for each product, and we don’t wrap up additional costs in your interest rate.

Freedom

Filling out a loan application is free and never obligates you to work with Sammamish Mortgage.

Flexibility

Sammamish was super helpful and made the mortgage process so much easier. Their live rates tool is a game changer. It was so nice that we didn't have to contact them to see the rates and costs for different properties or to check where the rates were at any given time. It saves time for everyone involved and we really appreciated the transparency. Ryan Shane was so nice and explained everything really well. He made time for us and answered all the questions we had. His team was very efficient and quickly gave us approval letters when requested for different properties. Tonya Baney did a great job making sure everything was in place for the loan and was super helpful in explaining everything to us. She was so efficient that we signed the closing paperwork a week early! It was a load of our minds that everything was finished up early and only had to pick up the keys on the actual closing day.

We found Ryan and Barb to be professional, honest, and transparent, with no gimmicks or high-pressure sales tactics. Just as important, we shopped their offer around and found no one would match it. Happy to have found Sammamish and would definitely recommend working with them.

My husband and I really appreciated the team at Sammamish Mortgage. As first time home buyers, the month of escrow is daunting and highly emotional. Working with Nick and Barb made the process super smooth. Not only were they professional and knowledgable, but provided constant communication so that we as homebuyers had all the facts and checklist items done to make getting our dream home a reality.

Found the interactions with Sammamish mortgage reps very professional, and timely. They were very helpful in providing needed information, whether it was during pre qualifying, under writing, in providing closing cost estimates, rate info and options, and also during post offer and closing. Would use them again if need arises.

Our realtor originally connected us with Sammamish Mortgage and we started the process Mark and it turned out to be be a great referral. Soon we were connected with Nick, as our loan officer, and Barb, as the loan processor. Nick and Barb were terrific to work with. Very professional and responsive. It was also easy to do all the application paperwork and documentation online through Sammamish Mortgages website. Would definitely recommend Sammamish Mortgage to anyone looking to buy a new home.

We cant thank Sammamish Mortgage (Trevor Shane) enough for the incredible job they did securing the best mortgage deal for us! From start to finish, the process was smooth, transparent, and surprisingly stress-freesomething we didnt think was possible when buying a home. They went above and beyond to find the most competitive rate, explained every detail clearly, and were always just a call or message away when we had questions. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication truly set them apart. Were beyond grateful and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a mortgage lender who genuinely has your best interest at heart. Thank you for making our home-buying journey such a success!
