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.

We worked with Christina and Barb. They were very good at explaining things and giving us all the info. The online portal was easy to upload our info on. They got us closed in about 3 weeks.

Working with Sammamish Mortgage has been incredible. The whole team was always fast to respond to any questions, and we felt supported through the process. Really appreciated the reassurance and work everyone put in to make sure we closed on time, even with a fairly tight closing timeline of three weeks. Shoutout to Christina Heaps and Barb Kite, they are the absolute best!

Ryan and his team (shout out to Shelly) are nothing but professional and the absolute best! They were highly responsive and frequently in touch to make sure we were set to close on time. I can't recommend this team enough!

I had never heard of Sammamish prior to this home purchase, and it's not my first home purchase. Im so glad we found them, Jessica and Shawn were incredible! Jessica was out a day on the weekend early on when still rate shopping and a teammate of hers gave a rapid response, which mattered to us and helped move the process when other companies wouldn't. She beat out competitors and was responsive. Shawn stepped in to work through the logistical side of things once we had decided to proceed, and without him, I dont think we would've closed on time due to some slow communication with other partners during the process. He was the one I leaned on most (between lending, title, and buying agent), even with questions not meant for him, due to his knowledge and responsiveness. Would 100% recommend to friends and family!

Drew Ebner and his team were fantastic. Great communication, very prompt in their responses, and really helped guide us through every step of the process. Drew gave us spreadsheets to help us estimate mortgage amounts across a variety of interest rates and home values, which really enabled us to have confidence when viewing homes. The pre-approval process was another confidence-builder for the whole process as well. Drew was always quick to answer questions, kept me in-the-loop the whole way, and Shelly was a fantastic partner as well. They really made this extremely simple, something my wife and I are enormously grateful for through this, our first homebuying experience. Highly appreciative and will recommend the team to anyone else we know who is looking to buy!
