Seattle Mortgage Planners Pontius Ave N, Seattle

I am a local real estate broker and I can't say enough about Jim Hoge as a great mortgage lender. We've worked together many times over the years and each time I am reminded what a great communicator and listener he is to his clients. Somehow deals go smoothly when Jim is involved. Highly recommend!

Jim and his team really went above and beyond for me! Getting financing secured for my condo was really complex due to it being a leasehold property with some other quirks in the fineprint. I was working with another lender who told me they can't finance my condo and then through my realtor I was connected with Jim. He and Angel put in a ton of work on my behalf to figure out if we could get financing approved and it all worked out in the end and now I am the proud owner of a condo in my dream location. He also did a great job explaining the whole process to me and making me feel at ease (I am a first time home buyer so I was pretty in the dark on what to expect). He was always quick to respond and was pleasant to work with. Thanks Jim!!

Jim Hoge is amazing. He is a true expert who is incredibly responsive, incredibly generous with his expertise and a professional we trusted and leaned on throughout the process of our most recent home purchase. I have huge trust in and gratitude for Jim. He's a gem. I could not recommend him more highly. If you're reading this review... stop your research now, and work with Jim. You'll be glad you did.

We love working with Jim Hoge and his team. They are very quick to answer any questions and make the home loan or refinancing process easy. Buying a home or refinancing can be extremely confusing and stressful, but they explain things and break it down to make it very simple and incredibly easy. He’s helped us purchase a home, and then later refinance twice at incredible rates. He’s extremely knowledgeable, trust worthy and just a great guy. And his team is also great at following up and quick communication. When we moved to Seattle we didn’t really know anyone and somehow we lucked out when we started working with Jim. We have since referred several friends to him as well, who have also been happy with him and his team. I highly recommend chatting with him to see if he’d be a good fit for your home financing needs.

We couldn't have found a better partner in Seattle's tough market. We worked with Jim for a long time until finally, being able to purchase a home. Jim and his team was the reason we were able to put in a competitive bid with confidence, and close in short time. We simply would not have been successful without Jim's professionalism, dedication, and sound advice. Please don't be fooled by just comparing rates, there is so much more that Jim offers. Not to mention, Jim is super competitive as well!

Jim Hoge is truly great at what he does! He helped us with the refinancing of our mortgage (twice). The level of attention and quality of services he provides is truly outstanding. I know Jim was busy, but he always made me feel that I was his number one client. One of the particularly great aspects of Jim's service is the way he keeps his clients informed at every step. You always know the status of your transaction and aren't left in the dark about where things are in the process. It doesn't hurt that Jim is also funny, upbeat and genuine. Keep up the good work Jim and Seattle Mortgage Planners!

We worked with Jim Hoge to finance a home - not only was he intent on helping us complete the purchase, he was clear about what he needed from us, was informative and transparent about where we were in the process. All in all, it was a pleasure to work with him. Securing a mortgage isn't fun nor quick, but working with Jim made it a much easier and a much more pleasant experience than I'd experienced before. I would definitely work with him again and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to friends and family.

Jim Hoge with Seattle Mortgage Planners helped us realize our dream home in record time. What first become a process of exploration for me and my husband, we came across a rare opportunity to procure a home but required us to move quickly. We reached out to Jim very late on a Saturday night via the web. Within hours he sent us some preliminary information and gave us some things to consider regarding financing options. When time to extend an offer, he moved quickly to get have us qualified and locked in an amazing rate. He addressed all questions quickly and clearly and we were able to close in 30 days (and on my husband's birthday). Jim is intelligent, innovative, responsive, courteous and a genuine person. We hope to remain in touch beyond the transaction as we consider him a confidant and a friend. Thanks again, Jim, for all that you have done for us.

Jim is a borrower’s dream: communicative, transparent, and helpful. He followed up when he said he would and he took great care explaining everything. He’s funny, too! Rates were very competitive and I highly recommend reaching out during your research.

Jim is by far the best mortgage broker we have ever encountered. He made our rather complicated purchase process very smooth and was always available to quickly solve issues or answer questions. We changed our financing type at the last minute, and Jim rolled with the punches and made it a seamless switch. Thanks Jim!
