Marie Bjornson Team- Fairway Independent Mortgage - Home Loans Prospect St, Bellingham

I have used Marie twice for my personal home financing and she has helped many of my clients over the last 12 years. She always goes the extra mile to create a win-win and a successful transaction. Her integrity, work ethic and warm personality make a powerful combination. She is my "go to" lender of preference for myself and all of my clients!

We could not have been happier with our choice to work with Marie as our loan officer. She is absolutely dedicated to helping you through the process of buying a home every step of the way. She is a numbers wizard, using every method that she can to help find the rate and payments that will work best for you and your budget. She was available at the drop of a dime to crunch some numbers and figure out exactly what we could afford to put down and pay in total for a house and what our monthly payments would be in time to write a letter of pre-approval for any house that we were in a time-crunch for, wanting to put a bid in as quickly as possible. She works based off of your comfort level in terms not only of what your budget could handle, but how comfortable you are with what you can afford. She never pushed us to do anything that we didn't want to and provided sage advice throughout the entire process. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

I just closed on a difficult transaction with Marie as the lender and myself as the Seller and Buyer representative. Marie was very creative through the whole process and communicated extraordinaire. I could tell she really cared about the outcome for the client. We closed the transaction and both Seller and Buyer are more than pleased. I would recommend Marie for any financial needs, especially home purchasing.

Marie is an outstanding loan officer. I've turned to her on advice regarding investment loans, reverse mortgages and many other loan types that require a high level of expertise. She is always "in the know" and gives unconditionally to her clients. It's rare to have someone with so much knowledge and a heart of gold. I would recommend her to anyone!

Marie and her team are simply exceptional! They guided us through the daunting prospects of both a purchase and refi, doing everything they could to save us money, time and a lot of grief. Take advantage of their knowledge, expertise and great customer service. You'll be very glad you did.

When deciding where to go to get financing for a home we did a lot of research. Because banks only offer a few options we didn’t think we’d get the best deal through them. And we were right. When searching online for mortgage financing in Whatcom County, one name kept coming up. Marie Bjornson. Every review written about her was 110% accurate. From the first phone call to the closing of our home, Marie was there for us. She did not waste our time. She was upfront and honest about what she could do and she saved us so much money. We thought we would have to pay a lot more on our down payment but we didn’t because she found a grant that we were eligible for. She kept money in our pocket. She also found a program that gives us tax breaks every year on our taxes for as long as we own our home, even if we refinance. She went above and beyond what we expected when getting our loan. Marie actually worked for us and cared about what was in our best interest financially. Also, our work schedule is hectic and unpredictable. Marie would meet with us, call, text or email on the days and hours that worked best for us. She doesn’t just work 9-5, she works 24 hours every day of the week. As long as Marie keeps doing what she’s doing, we will always go back to her and will continue recommending her to all our friends and family.

Almost a year ago Marie helped us purchase our first home, and we had a wonderful experience. Her team is very warm and professional. We were presented with some really great options for structuring our mortgage.

Marie’s best asset – besides being a top notch lender ~ she thinks outside the box. If you have a buyer that wants to buy and a seller that wants to sell to that buyer, Marie will get it done… all legally, quickly and painlessly. She just has “that” ability to know how to review a buyer’s qualifications and then package a loan the correct way. She has taken several loan packages that were turned down and examined the faults and made them whole. She knows what the lender is looking for to make it a smooth transaction. I highly recommend Marie to my colleagues and clients Jo Anne Wyatt, Windermere

Marie and her whole staff provided VERY personal service. From credit score guidance and working with various issues from our past on a one on one basis, Marie's team went way ABOVE AND BEYOND in every way imaginable. So grateful they were in our corner.

If you want a top notch mortgage broker Marie is it! She made my loan application process pleasant, streamlined, and assured that I had all of the necessary information. She assured that financing was ready to go by the closing date and I felt confident through out the entire process. I highly recommend Marie
