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 great 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.

Flexibility

We had a great experience with the Sammamish Mortgage. They were very responsive and were able to get us much lower rate than major banks. Overall process was very transparent and quick. Once of the best companies we had experience with

I have now used Sammamish twice for home purchase through the years. They are fantastic. Their rates have beaten everyone else that I had spoken too, and they made the process so streamline. Our house just closed and out of everyone involved they were the most helpful and on the ball.

Ryan Shane and Sammamish Mortgage were an invaluable help for me as a first time buyer! The team there is incredibly thorough and upfront about everything. Even though the whole process can be overwhelming, the constant communication and guidance from them makes it seem a lot less daunting. They truly seemed to take interest in us as people and not just as clients. The small business approach enables them to get us the best rates, and the working relationship they have with other entities like insurance brokers makes it a seamless process.

We financed our first home purchase with Sammamish 10 years ago and had a positive experience, so we reached out to them again when we were ready to move and make another purchase. We worked with the same loan officer as before (Trevor) and he was able to tailor the loan details to our specific needs while significantly beating rates from competitors. Communication and service were excellent throughout the process and we felt like we were working with a friendly local lender while getting better rates than the faceless online powerhouses. We have no plans to move again anytime soon, but if we do, we'll be working with Sammamish for our next mortgage.
