Swanson Home Loans, Evan Swanson NMLS# 120856 Sw Barnes Rd, Portland

Evan and his team were excellent throughout the whole process. They were always quick to respond, answered all of our questions, and made the process so easy. We highly recommend Swanson Home Loans and will definitely use them again in the future.

Evan helped me with my first mortgage as a first time home buyer in 2009. His expertise and easy going nature made buying a home enjoyable! He provided multiple summaries based on my questions and always took time to explain the benefits and drawbacks to each plan. His estimates are always very accurate and his response time is excellent. He provides analysis via video tutorials, e-mails, phone calls and of course, in person. He even ran his figures by my financial planner. A few years went by and I chose Evan again to help me refinance. I was hesitant at first, thinking my original mortgage was good enough and why start all the paperwork all over again. Additionally, I wasn't sure my property would meet equity requirements so Evan would just touch base to see if he could help in any way. Sure enough, rates were creeping up, home values were improving and Evan contacted me with a few ways to help me save money provided my home had the value.... IT DID and I refinanced. Evan and his team made the whole process smooth and worry free. I just sent my new payment off this week and the total closing costs were lower than predicted, the new mortgage is even less than predicted and I'm completely happy. Evan has helped other friends of mine with mortgage questions and each time they are impressed by the interactions. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Evan for any question and I wouldn't hesitate to take any of his recommendations. He is the best! Cheers, Doug W.

Trying to refinance a home loan is a difficult, painful process in the best of times, so the thought of going through all of it during the COVID 19 pandemic filled me with utter dread. But Evan and his team made it easy and very painless, keeping us on task and up-to-date without being intrusive or nagging. I can't say enough about how professional, kind, and understanding the entire team is, and their process during quarantine was so easy to understand and implement that it could be a best practices example for other businesses. If you're not refinancing because you think it's not worth the hassle, go to Evan and his team and remove the hassle part. Oh, and they have great rates. Really great.

If you like a sense of urgency, timely updates, and a process that is easy to follow, Evan is your guy. I was thoroughly impressed with Evans follow up, knowledge and commitment to helping me understand what my options were, and exactly what I was getting. The personalized mortgage review video Evan provided is a perfect example of his commitment to service, and assuring his clients are comfortable with their options. Not to mention, he got me a great rate, and helped me close on schedule. I'd be comfortable referring Evan to my friends, family, and colleagues. Andrew

We used Evan for purchase and refinance, and found him and his team very professional and very helpful in finding good deals (better than others). So, we are returning customers and we plan to stay with Evan in the future.

Evan and his team are the best. We’ve worked with them through 3 transactions and they definitely offer a personal touch. We appreciate that they always look out for our best interests and work hard on our behalf. They are thoughtful, professional, and very good at what they do. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Evan and his team did a great job providing funds for our new house. The house is in Washington. Swanson Home Loans was able to complete the deal in less than 30 day. It was all done on line; the notary came to our house on closing day.

Evan and his team are the best. They made our first home purchase in Portland totally painless. We were warned that the process could be stressful, but we didn't experience that at all. Their process is straightforward and we grateful for how efficient it was. Their office is also great at keeping a line of communication open at all times, which is great. I would highly recommend Evan and his team if you are in the market to buy a new home.

We had the pleasure of working with Evan Swanson and his group for loan approval for the purchase of our first home. We couldn't have been more pleased with the experience. From our first meeting to the last, Evan was informative, patient and professional in his explanation of everything, answering our questions and providing a comprehensive overview of the process from start to finish. We would not hesitate to recommend Evan to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy professional for this process. He gets the highest marks from us and we look forward to working with him again.

Evan and his team were there for us when we purchased our home over 5 years ago and we were so pleased with the work that we chose him to help with our lower interest rate re-fi this year. Great team with all the answers, prompt responses and work, as well as great rates. We did comparison shop on rates and he still came out on top.
