I usually wait until the end of a transaction to review, but my experience working with Michael and The Fornerette team has been to amazing to hold in. I’m in the process of buying my first home and they are my Lender reps and Loan Officer. We are on the final stretch to closing! Michael does a great job of demonstrating his trust in his team and has made me so comfortable. From his welcome & check in calls to make sure I understood the process to the polite reminder texts from Litrell, I never felt alone. As we navigated the complicated process of the WA state Covenant Loan, Litrell, Mellisa and Michael continued to check in with me so I did not lose focus on the goal. Further into the process, I was partnered with Nate & Mellisa to get through underwriting and other important steps. This team was always patient, polite and made themselves available to me. Everything was clearly communicated in writing with supportive explanations if I was uncertain about any of the aspects of the loan process. They never let me sit unanswered on emails, calls or texts. This team works very well together & I’m so grateful to have been put in contact with The Fornerette Team for my first home purchase. I highly recommend them as your Lender!

My wife and I were very satisfied with the service Michael and his team provided us. Our real estate agent was the one who referred him to us. This was after our previous agent and his team we were working with didn't know how to navigate our unique situation. The communication just was not there. With our time sensitive situation I'm glad that we made the switch. He was very knowledgeable in our specific situation and had plenty of experience handling our needs. He was able to answer all of our questions in a timely manner and was not satisfied until we actually understood what was happening with our purchase. There was one question in particular that I just couldn’t wrap my head around. Michael was not satisfied until he felt comfortable enough to where I understood it completely. After sleeping on it and opening up his line of communication and talking over that specific question I was able to understand it fully. That made me feel extremely comfortable and at ease knowing that Michael was the right person for the job. I am 100% convinced that if we did not go with Michael and his team we wouldn’t be in our home now. Thank you.
