Saul was an absolutely champ with my loan application, which was a multi-headed hydra that had just about everything but the kitchen sink thrown in. In addition to being a non-resident on a visa, I had multiple accounts, gifts and other complicating factors that made the application a bit of an ordeal. Despite an avalanche of emails, receipts and bank statements, Saul never lost his sense of humour or enthusiasm. He really was exceptionally good at navigating what I consider to be a very onerous process for obtaining financi... read more

I recently worked with Saul on a mortgage for a new home (and a few years ago on a refinanced mortgage), and once again Saul hit it out of the park. Five stars in every category is not inflating his rating. Saul is very knowledgeable, professional, easily available and immediately responsive. He even made a clutch phone call to the seller's agent while he was out of town for a weekend; I'm sure this made a difference in being able to win the offer on our home. Closing went smooth and fast; Saul worked in lock step with our r... read more

Right off the bat, I was impressed by Saul's professionalism and knowledge. He is very receptive to any questions or concerns you may have during the home loan process. It is never difficult to get a hold of Saul, either by email or phone. I also like the fact that Saul prefers face to face or phone contact which gives his service a personal touch. He was even able to make the drive from Kirkland to Renton to be with me at my signing appointment with the title company. I would recommend Saul to anyone looking for a reference... read more

Saul was very responsive to all our questions about the process and what certain terms meant. He responded almost immediately all the time to our emails. In addition he was very encouraging through the whole process as he checked in with us. Finally, when we found a place he moved really quickly and efficiently to help us close as soon as possible -- I'd highly recommend Saul, he has great customer service.

Saul was extremely organized, giving us a checklist of items to provide for our first meeting. He anticipated what the loan underwriters would need and also gave us a good sense of how the process would flow. He responded quickly to emails and kept us informed about progress. He made the loan side of buying a house way easier than it has ever been before for me. Saul is wonderful to work with!

We were first time home buyers and had very little knowledge about the whole process. Saul was very patient from day one. He was very helpful and was always ready to help and answer any questions we had. He never tried to pressurize us or try to sell himself too hard. He was professional, and very courteous. He was always proactive, with his assistance we were able to close a loan in less than month. I cannot thank Saul enough to make our first home buying experience smooth and very easy for us. I would highly recommend Saul... read more

Saul was amazing! I shopped around through my credit union, some friend referrals and online and Saul was able to get me the lowest interest rate and provided me with different financing options. He always got back to me quickly and answered all my questions. The selling agent even emailed us to let us know that he was one of only 5 lenders that had docs to escrow early in her 35 years in the real estate industry! He made sure to follow up with the sellers and us through out the process so we knew just where everything was a... read more

I spent considerable time shopping for a home mortgage.Saul was very professional in explaining the options and pros and cons of points vs. rate and how rates vary. I've been through the process before but I like to get nuances and professional input. I found a competing rate that was very competitive. I had a very large down deposit and strong financials. Saul was still able to work with me and make a concession to meet the competition. On several occasions he called to make sure all questions were answered and we made exce... read more

My wife and I worked with Saul recently on the purchase of a new house in Seattle. Saul was very helpful throughout the entire process, from obtaining pre-approval to closing on the house. He was honest and helped set the expectations up front on what to expect. Saul was very responsive in answering all questions and responding to emails. In general, he helped to make the stressful process of buying a new home a little less stressful. We were very happy with the service we received from Saul and HomeStreet Bank, and would hi... read more
