Academy Mortgage 1st St, Snohomish

Working with Umar was an excellent experience. Umar was able to get me a same day pre-approval that allowed me to act quickly to secure a great property. He did a great job of communicating throughout the process and answering any questions that came up.

My wife and I got the first house we put an offer on due to Umar and his team. We have friends miss house after house and then when they got a house they waited longer. Umar's closing time was a 6th that of friends. Which also I believe was why we got the house. Don't miss getting the house you want! Update! We have used Umar and his team twice since getting our home for refi’s. Always getting the best attention and service!

We are lifelong BECU members who were determined to get our third mortgage through them but after some persuasion by our realtor, reluctantly set up a call with Umar and we are so glad we did. Umar was willing to talk with us outside of business hours so that both my husband and I could be on the call together. He took the time to walk us through the points of differentiation of going with him and Academy Mortgage and even got into the weeds of the details with us which gave us such a comfort level of doing business with him. One extreme advantage that Umar had over anybody else with around PMI. Most banks use two-three PMI vendors. Academy Mortgage uses 11. By shopping the PMI rate, we were able to save about $200 on our monthly mortgage payment. Umar's team, especially Adrienne, were extremely responsive and proactive throughout the process. They jumped right on our loan and fully underwrote us prior to us even making an offer on a home. When we did make the offer, Umar sent a letter to the selling agent describing how we were fully financed and would be able to close within 14 days. We went from seeing our home for the first time to keyholders within 15 days! It was because of the short time frame that we were able to compete and win a home in today's insane market. The moving kit during the process and the thank you gift after the close were both sweet surprises that made a stressful time a little easier. We would definitely recommend working with Umar, Adrienne and the team at Academy Mortgage!

Umar with Academy Mortgage is exceptional! He provided excellent coverage and was constantly available to answer any questions that I had. He personally addressed any hiccups that were presented throughout the process. his response time to my needs far exceeded my expectations. we had a 3 week turn around time to get financing in place and this period extended over christmas and new years. awesome service! I will never go elsewhere! as the cherry on top, academy mortgage sent a care package after the deal closed with thoughtful and purposeful gifts that have a philanthropic purpose with sustainability in mind. I absolutely loved this!

They made the experience very easy and have great response times.

Umar and Team made our experience perfect. The information was clear, the guidance was direct and brought a sense of calm to the very important situation. When we had questions, we received quick thorough responses. I only hope others can and will experience this the way we did. Thank you so much!

We had a great experience working with Umar. He and his team were very responsive to all our questions, and worked hard to get us the right loan amount. We wanted to do an accelerated closing, and everything got approved in time.

Very smooth transaction working with Umar. I shopped for rates and Academy was as good a rate as I could find. In the end, I chose Academy and Umar on the recommendation of my agent because the agency is smaller and could offer a streamlined process and quick close. Umar offered the he could be ready in 3 weeks. We went with 30 days anyway, but had time to spare. He also walked me through several questions as a first time buyer, over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less. Very satisfied.

Umar and his team are fantastic! They came highly recommended to us, and for good reason! Umar is a great communicator and has an incredible response time. We are so happy we used Academy Mortgage!

Umar did a fantastic job as my mortgage broker. He was able to close fast and was extremely responsive when I reached out. He and his team at Academy Mortgage raise the bar for all other brokers out there. We'll definitely be using Umar for any future purchases.
