We highly recommend Andy and his team. They were professional, friendly,helpful and experts in their field. We had some serious problems with a corporate bank and were very glad we switched to Vantage. They assisted us to get our loan with the lowest of interest rates and reasonable fees. They approved it incredibly fast and allowed us to buy our dream home. We will definitely be repeat customers.

This was our second time working with Todd and he did not disappoint either time. He was always responsive about next steps and documents we might need, and also anticipated our questions and needs. He made sure we were able to lock in a great rate for our mortgage, and that closing happened in a very timely manner. It was smooth sailing both times.

I worked with Yumi Lynch at Vantage Mortgage group to do a refinance of our home mortgage. I started the process a bit flustered - because we had just started the efforts with a different lender, the appraisal process was a nightmare, and other frustrations.Yumi took great care of us, was exceptionally fast in her responses, and generally gave us great advice throughout the process. She was always happy to explain things to us, double check rates, etc.All in all, we had a great experience with Yumi and Vantage Mortgage Group. Very easy streamlined process, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you work with them!

You must give Yumi Lynch a call at Vantage Mortgage group if you are looking to buy or refinance. We used them 4 years ago when we purchased and again with our current refinance. Excellent communication and lighting quick results. She worked hard to get us the absolute best rate and terms and saved us tons of money. I highly recommend vantage mortgage group and Yumi Lynch for anything you might need regarding your home purchases or refinance. You will not be disappointed!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Vantage! We were fortunate enough to work with Yumi. As first time homebuyers, we appreciated the level of service she provided as she truly helped us understand the mortgage process and feel confident in our decisions. Any hiccups that popped up along the way Yumi skillfully handled. Thank you, Yumi + Vantage!

Andy W. Harris was a dream to work with. We were originally going with one of the Big Banks for our Home Loan but had a really hard time getting them to respond when we needed them. Our Agent recommended going with a Local Lender because of how quick the turn around times had become in the wild COVID market. We are so glad we went with Vantage Mortgage. Andy responded to every email within a few hours (usually within a few minutes!) and was always ready to hop on the phone when we needed more explanation. He walked us through every step of the process and I'm not sure we could have landed our dream home in this market without his assistance.

Yumi and the Team with Vantage Mortgage Group, Inc. provided excellent service with our refinance. We had lots of questions and were very impressed with Yumi’s patience. We met in a large private conference room where Yumi was very well prepared to explain how our refinance would work, showing total costs, total payments, interest and what type of loan would best fit our situation, all without feeling time-pressured. Yumi used a large screen to display the numbers, which made it so much easier to look, talk, and think, again without the pressure. As we narrowed down our best options, Yumi let us know the next steps, timelines and exactly what to expect with no hidden costs or surprises. When the loan application process began, Yumi again was fully available and remained in close contact throughout the entire process, which was much quicker than I was expecting, considering all the refinance activity taking place today. Yumi was 100% committed to exceeding our expectations, and promptly answered any and all questions without leaving us waiting. We were thrilled when our loan closed, and almost at the last minute, we asked for a small change, which Yumi handled without any issue. We were so happy with the rate and terms that we, after careful thought, decided to take a small cash out to cover some home improvements. All together, our initial meeting, subsequent follow ups, application process, and final closing were excellent. I have little patience for phone tag, back and forth, and long delays and get easily stressed with a long, drawn out process. Thanks to Yumi and Vantage Mortgage, I had no worries. Highly recommend Vantage Mortgage Group Inc. to everyone.

Sheila was absolutely incredible helping my wife and I purchase our first home. She was always incredibly responsive and had tons of expertise to help guide us through the process. As new home buyers, her advice and recommendations were so important and helpful. We couldn’t have done it without her and we highly, highly recommend her and Vantage Mortgage!

1st time home buyer here. Andy and his team at Vantage were wonderful to work with. He was quick to respond and took time to explain the detailed rate sheets he provided. We ran into some undisclosed items on the property that created some compressed deadlines. Andy and his team were great working through those items and we closed without a hitch! Would definitely recommend Andy and Vantage to anyone who asks.

I write to send you my observations of the broker Chris LosingerA). He did not over promise. He was conservative in his statements, and what he asserted he could do, he invariably was able to achieve.B). He is diligent, hard working, and relentless in brokering.C). He was always sunny, prepared, positive, and easy to work with--consistantly trying to anticipate process hiccups or challenges. Even after several decades of brokering, I never detected cynicism nor jadedness. He is likable.D). He was a consummate professional. He knows his job, and the resulting competence is immediately exhibited. He stayed with the borrower minute by minute through close and after.D). He was a strong advocate for the borrower. And, the very few times he encountered something previously unknown, he chased the answer down with dispatch.E). His communication efforts were unparalleled. He always answered phone, text or email unless he was legitimately unavailable, in which case he responded in the same media immediately when available.What a superb job! Very impressive. I have worked with a modest number of brokers over the years. But his technique, skill and execution exceed all in my prior experience--by an extraordinary measure. He is "by far" the best who I have ever worked with.DenisShoreline, WA

We worked with Andy and felt he was very responsive and helpful with navigating financing our first home. We asked a lot of questions and needed a lot of clarification and we always got an almost immediate response and were treated professionally. He provided very detailed spreadsheets for rates and fees which made things very clear upfront. We are really glad we went with a local broker and would absolutely recommend Andy.

Our experience with Andy Harris at Vantage Mortgage Group was top notch. He made the process very smooth and easy which is especially remarkable amidst the inconveniences of COVID. His communication was thorough, his response time was amazing and he made it a priority to communicate with us directly, so that we never felt handed off.

The entire team at Vantage Mortgage are fantastic to work with! As a professional who deals with lenders from all over the country, the Vantage Mortgage Group is truly top notch.

We’ve refinanced twice now over the years with Yumi. She is a clear, prompt, and professional communicator. Both refinances have made significant improvements to our family’s quality of life. Working with Yumi gave us the confidence we needed ghat we were making the right decision.

Jacob Moore

15:12 15 Feb 21

Working with Yumi was great! Very clear communication and always willing to give me an update and answer questions if I wasn't sure where we were at in the process. Seemed like the turn around on her end was really fast as well so I never had to worry too much if forms were submitted right or if there would be any issues. I used her both when I bought my house and then again when I refinanced since it went so well the first time. In fact, main reason I knew to refinance is that she sends out some notices here or there on the state of the market, and after a brief follow up found I could get a rate that was a full two points off. I ended up saving about $240 in expenses monthly because of those email updates. Really can't speak highly enough of the experience and the result.

4 years later update:I just went through another refinance with Vantage Mortgage Group and everything I said before still stands! These folks are fantastic. Extremely easy to use, always responds quickly, and makes courtesy calls and communications to keep me updated on the process. I will continue to refer people to Vantage!Original review:I was skeptical at first with all the positive reviews here when researching refinancing my mortgage. I used Andy Harris to refinance and i'm glad the reviews were accurate! In less than 24 hours, my loan application was submitted and entered the processing phase. Andy is extremely quick to respond - he typically responded within 10 minutes for me and I had a LOT of questions and concerns. I previously worked with another lender and they took days to respond to simple questions and never available by phone, but Andy was always easy to get a hold of and always went the extra mile to answer my questions thoroughly. I absolutely recommend working with Andy!

Todd and his team at Vantage are incredible! They helped us secure a new mortgage in November 2019, and were excellent to work with throughout the entire process. Professionalism, clear communication, and expert knowledge. I will most definitely work with them again on all future mortgage and refinance needs my family has.

Andy and his team at Vantage did 2 refi's (one with cash out) and a home purchase simultaneously and seamlessly. This is the most competent, knowledgeable and honest mortgage company around, and we've worked with many. We will be a lifelong customer of Vantage. As a bargain shopper, this company truly practices what they preach, they truly have the lowest rates and fees. Andy and his team have a stellar work ethic and were always available, even evenings and weekends.

This review is for Yumi Lynch of Vantage Mortgage Group.Buying a home is very stressful and you need a village to get you through it. Your realtor plays a vital role in this process but the next person in line is your mortgage broker. It is not enough that you find someone gives you the best and lowest rate but for someone like me who is very detailed oriented and wants to know why, when, how and what, you need someone who is knowledgeable and also patient. On top of that, someone who is looking out for you as well throughout the process. Yumi is all that and more. She was always available, never rushes, willing to answer any type of questions and ready to share her practical experiences along the way which I found very helpful. Not everything is textbook, it is always good to mix practical and theoretical to get to the best approach.My buyer needed a quick close and Yumi was on top of her game, making sure that the loan processing was moving along in the right direction at the right pace. She empathizes the fact that closing involves such a big expense that she would find means here and there to make sure we are cutting cost and getting the best deal. She does her due diligence and is not afraid to do extra work to make sure you get the best deal. I shopped around for brokers and im glad I ended up with Yumi. I strongly recommend her and I will use her again the future.

Andy and his team are knowledgeable, responsive and friendly. Andy made the process easy. After initiating by email, we had an introductory call with Q&A then I received a quote with clear explanation of the next steps involved. I uploaded my documentation, secured a low rate, signed digitally, then closed. When questions arose along the way, they promptly answered them. If the opportunity presents itself, I would do business with them again. I recommend Vantage.

I would highly recommend.

My wife, kids and I have lived in our house since 2007. While raising a family, working, and going to college simultaneously, we accumulated an abundance of student loan and consumer debt. Shortly after purchasing our house in 2007, the housing crisis of 2008 came about and we lost about $100,000 in equity. We rode the storm, and continued to make all scheduled mortgage payments on time as the house was always priority number one.Fast forward to Fall/Winter 2019, and our home had appreciated in value substantially since our original purchase in 2007. Between that and making our payments to reduce the principal balance, a large amount of equity in our home had grown. I knew Chris Borg (with Vantage Mortgage Group, Inc.) from my local leads group Chapter of LeTip (Tigard/SW Metro), and had gained trust in him even prior to deciding to explore refinancing our home to see about improving our financial outlook. Little did I know when first meeting him, just how much Chris Borg would help us out with our future goals…We began the process of shopping mortgage rates with Chris. He helped explain the process, the pros/cons of different packages being offered, and professionally steered us toward an option that was in our best interest. Between the historically low interest rates being offered, and the equity in our home, the timing couldn’t have been any better to pull the trigger on a home refinance that could change our life as we knew it.We closed our refinance with Chris Borg at the end of November 2019, and had an excess cash to close check that helped us pay off roughly 75% of our student loan and consumer debt. Our monthly cash flow improved immediately by $2,100 per month from our refinance with Chris (by not being drowned by monthly debt payments), and allowed us to more manageably tackle the remaining 25% of student/consumer debt that will now be paid off much faster. We went from living paycheck to paycheck paying on debt payments with no end in sight, to now looking at being debt free (other than the mortgage payment at a very low interest rate of 3.25%).Although the speed at which we were making progress on that remaining debt has slowed a bit (due to my wife being furloughed due to COVID), we can survive, manage, and still make progress without fear of losing everything. Even though we planned to refinance well before COVID, it unknowingly lined us up to weather yet another storm like happened in 2008.Our family is truly forever grateful for Chris and his service that he provided to us. He helped us to catch the wave, and to weather the storm…and I feel blessed to have met such a valuable mortgage resource we can now consider family.

Andy Harris and Vantage Mortgage Group are friendly, helpful and put my mind at ease about refinancing. Andy answered all of my questions promptly, professionally, and in simple everyday terms. I would happily use Vantage Mortgage Group again and will recommend them without hesitation. Thank you for the great start to 2021!

Andy Harris and the whole Vantage team are the best! I just closed on my new home and I am certain I couldn’t have done it without their consistent and concentrated efforts each and every step of the way in securing the very best loan there could be for me. I had complete confidence because of the knowledge and expertise and the excellent communication that assured me no missteps would ever happen. Getting a mortgage loan is very stressful but less so with Andy always available to answer questions and explain everything as needed. A huge Thank You, VMG! ~ Kathy H.

After we were nearly 3 months in to the refi process with another mortgage firm that didn't seem able to close our refi, I called Vantage. Chris said he had a refi program with a fast approval process, and if we qualified could close the loan quickly. He estimated we could close in 6 to 8 weeks, at the worst. Chris kept us informed and we promptly provided all info he requested on behalf of the underwriters. All total, we signed loan docs in less than 30 days -- start to finish. Chris, under-promised and over-delivered -- very pleased with the fast loan close.

I was connected with Andy Harris after a very frustrating experience trying to refinance my mortgage. He was very up front and honest. Andy and his team made the process feel seamless. They sent me lots of updates and were very quick to respond with any questions I had. They got the job done and I got a great rate. I'm very happy!

Working with Andy Harris and team was one of the best decisions we made when buying a home. He was very responsive and always had answers to our questions. We had to run several different estimates on homes and we always received then within a few hours of sending him the address. All of our loan documents and information was received by the tile company 4 days early. They were surprised with how smoothly our closing went. I cannot recommend Vantage Mortgage Group enough.

This is our 2nd time working with Yumi, this time refinancing to get our mortgage rate down. Yumi spent the time to answer all our questions, lay out and explain various options/scenarios, and of course find the best rates. Things were clearly very busy given how many people were refinancing yet we still received immediate replies to our questions throughout the day and into the evening/night when we were filling out papers. Thank you Yumi, we recommend you to everyone we know!

Rae Hahn

04:39 06 Nov 20

I just finished the refinancing of my home in Happy Valley and Yumi Lynch helped me to complete it from the beginning to the end. She was so knowledgeable about all the details of refinancing and always responsive to the calls or email inquires. She thoroughly explained away any questions that I had. I felt so lucky to find Vantage Mortgage Group and especially Yumi!

I want to give my biggest appreciation to Andy Harris from Vantage Mortgage! He went through a lot of hurdles for me and answered all my questions promptly. He fought for me on my behalf and worked in my best interest the entire way and I can’t be more grateful that he really stuck by me!! Any active duty/veteran military, I would 10000% recommend vantage mortgage because they are very experienced and knowledgeable about the VA loan. Any problems I ran into he addressed quickly and worked hard to resolve them.

We were very pleased working with Yumi Lynch. We scouted for rates over a period of time with Vantage and in the current climate of high financing demand with closure across multiple months, she kept us updated on regular document requirements and was responsive at every stage of the loan closure process. Her assistance made the entire process very easy to follow and would consider Vantage again in future.

We've now financed with Vantage a couple of times and had great experiences with them. They again got the job done well and got it done quickly. Really amazing given how COVID has complicated everything. Very impressed them. I would never consider going with anyone else.

So when me and my fiance started looking to buy a house we had no clue what we were doing. When we called Vantage, Andy was there to help us with each step of the process. From helping us find out what we could afford, to showing us full breakdowns of all the costs in getting our house. Every question we had they answered. Every bump in the road was smoothed over. With Andy's help we were able to get all the financials done even with everything backlogged by the ongoing pandemic.

Andrew Norster

21:34 07 Jul 20

Absolutely fantastic service, responsiveness, and better rates than I fond anywhere else. Walked us through the process and was always available for answering questions, even on short notice. I would absolutely work with them again!

As a first-time home buyer, I was very pleased with Andy and the whole team. Whenever I had a question, responses were crazy quick and helpful. The whole process was really smooth, and whenever I wanted to delve into something more, Team Andy was quick and professional. Would for sure recommend.

I have refinanced a few different times in my life and this time was probably the best experience I have had. #1 Andy Harris was on top of it all the time. Always kept me in the loop constantly. He replied back to everyone of my emails within minutes and picked up the phone when I called. #2 I got a really good rate that beat out any other companies. #3 I had some crazy hold ups and detours due my divorce and Andy literally took the wheel and negotiated with the title companies and the lien holders to get what I needed that was holding me back. These guys think outside the box and find solutions. 100% recommend Vantage!

Colton Bond

02:59 28 May 20

I cannot say enough good things! We worked predominantly with Yumi and a little with Andy while buying a home in Salem, Oregon. Both were incredibly responsive. For example, when we needed a new offer letter or had a question we generally recieved a response in 15-30 minutes, even during evening hours. This was appreciated because in a hot market, you often need to make offers and negotiation-related decisions quickly. I did some rate comparisons before choosing a lender and found that their rates were generally lower than others. As first-time home buyers, we had a number of questions and Yumi was always very helpful in providing valuable information up front and helping us weigh the pros and cons. I will be referring our friends and family.

Jason Woody

Amanda and the Vantage Mortgage Group team made the process of refinancing our home really simple. Their system kept us up to date on the progress of the loan and any additional documents needed throughout the process. It was the easiest home loan transaction we have ever had and the rate we received was incredible.

We worked with Yumi at Vantage Mortgage and were impressed with how easy the process was from start to finish. Not only was Yumi quick to answer any questions we had, she helped us secure an early closing with a great interest rate. Thanks to Vantage Mortgage and Yumi, we had a stress free experience securing a home loan.

My wife and I recently refinanced our home and luckily we had Peder Quello from vantage mortgage facilitate the transaction! Peter took us from a 6.25% 30 year fixed interest rate to a 3.5% 15 year interest rate. At the same time, he was able to get us a second mortgage and between the two we were able to consolidate a significant amount of debt. His follow through and follow up skills are incredible, he as incredible knowledge of all the different mortgage products available in the marketplace, and on top of it all he has a charming personality and soothing “bedside manner“. Peter tenaciously managed our loan through every step of the process and within 60 days he changed our family’s entire financial situation! Thank you Peter and thank you Vantage Mortgage!

First off, I have to say that this team is AWESOME!! Amanda and Liz are the epitome of professional and responsive!!A bit of background- I had paid off all of my debts after selling my old house, but my credit score was still not where I thought it should be. Amanda thought the same thing and did a little digging. She was able to uncover that I had a medical bill that went to collections during my move across the country, unbeknownst to me. She was able to give me amazing guidance on how to get that removed. Once I was able to talk to the collection agency to get that deleted from my record the credit score went up 100+ points!!!! AMAZING!Fast forward to actually putting offers in on houses, yes myriad houses! This team is second to none! If I asked them to run numbers on this property or that property I knew that those numbers would be waiting in my inbox in a timely manner. They were there to talk to the listing agents to make sure they were representing us as best as possible. This made a difference and I believe that it was one reason the sellers accepted our offer.They always had kind, supportive words to get us through this crazy Portland market. Even when we were rejected 4 other times they kept telling us that "the right house is out there and you will find it!" As hard as it was to accept the rejection they kept us going.Now on to the Corona-virus craziness! This team called me multiple times as rates were bouncing all around once the offer was accepted. They gave me all the information I needed to make educated decisions on the best product. Once I decided to lock in they took over and kept us updated throughout the entire process. Even when there were some things that might have delayed our closing they kept in contact and we were able to bring this 11 month adventure to a close (figuratively and literally!!). I highly recommend this team as they are there to make sure you get what makes sense to you and your situation!

Andy and the Vantage Mortgage team did an incredible job! I refinanced during the chaotic market surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, and they made it incredibly easy for me. They were patient, thorough, and diligent. I can't recommend them enough.

This was my second in working with Todd and his team because they are all just a great group to work. Todd knows the mortgage business/industry, provides you with options, is a realist around reviews, processes and timing, prompt with his feedback and will always keep you up to date.

My husband and I enjoyed working with Vantage Mortgage group. We purchased our house from out of state and Todd and his other coworkers made it very easy for us to do so. He was able to find us the best rate for our new home. If you are looking to buy a new home we highly recommend Vantage.

As first time home buyers, we couldn't have been more fortunate to have Andy as our Mortgage Broker. He is experienced in the industry, and has an expert team who he partners with that provides exceptional service across the board, and as someone who supported our government post-financial crisis, he knows all of the details of the questions we had. He took time to walk us through the home buying process up front, so that when we got to the place of making an offer, we knew exactly what to expect. Andy took the time to meet with us in person, which meant everything to us. Again, Andy and his team are exceptional Mortgage Brokers with the process end to end, we are so grateful for his support and look forward to working with him again in the future!

I cannot recommend Andy and the Vantage Mortgage Group team highly enough - they're incredible! From beginning to end, I received amazing service, prompt responses, and thorough explanations (of concepts that I didn't understand). During the home-buying process, I was overseas for 3 of the final 6 weeks leading to closing day...and obviously, very stressed about getting everything completed and signed on time. Andy and the team worked with my crazy time zones, made what I needed to do very simple, and formatted everything so I could sign digitally without needing to access printers and work stations. Three months into my newly purchased home and couldn't be happier!

Just recently purchased a home and can't say enough how professional and easy it was working with Yumi from Vantage Mortgage. Yumi always communicated tasks that needed to be completed in a quick and timely manner. Because of this, I was able to close on my home in record-breaking time... All thanks to Yumi! She over-exceeded my expectations and over-delivered on her promises. I couldn't of imagined having it any other way! I'm confident you'll experience the same thing if you go with Vantage!

Sheila Smith and her team at Vantage Mortgage Group were wonderful. We were in the process of selling our home and buying another one at the Coast, so you can imagine the stress. Shelia and her team guided us through the process quickly and efficiently. There was great communication through the entire process with just the right amount of technology. Even at the last minute when the Title Company on the Coast was floundering a bit on the day of closing, Sheila stepped in and made it happen. I would highly recommend Sheila and her team at Vantage Mortgage Group.

As a realtor, I have worked with Todd Gydesen and his team for years now. I am pleased with how everything goes smoothly with no surprises at the end. He has also saved few transactions that got into trouble with other lenders :-) But my last transaction with him was personal for my own refinance. Everything was done in a short period of time, great rate and smooth closing. I got to see first hand the level of communication. Multiple emails and links to videos guided and informed me of the next steps. It was such a seamless process. Thank you Vantage Mortgage and Todd Gydesen.

I highly recommend Todd and his team. This is the second time I've worked with him. First to purchase the home and next to refinance. Both experiences have been fast and simple; the online system used made this process easy for me.When I went to refinance, I first started with my current mortgage lender (penny mac). I felt like they were trying to cheat me the whole time and the rates were way off what I expected. So I sent Todd a quick email and he got back to me right away better rates than I was expecting. And I always felt I was treated like a valued customer.

Big Thank You to Todd Gydesen and Vantage Mortgage. Being self employed is great until you need a mortgage loan. Todd did a great job securing a great fixed rate loan.

Todd Gydesen and his team were INCREDIBLE! We have already been recommending them to our friends and will definitely continue to. We were first time home buyers and he REALLY took the time to make sure we understood what we were doing each step of the way. They were prompt with their responses and really stuck with us through a complicated buying process. Would definitely recommend!

Todd made what we expected to be a stressful first-time purchasing process laughably easy and stress-free for us. He is always available to answer questions, walk through options, and is terrific at explaining mortgage concepts that I never thought I'd be able to really understand.

We worked with Liz and Amanda over the years and they just helped us again with a Re-Fi. They are extremely reliable and responsive, not to mention knowledgeable. They help answer all our questions and work to meet all the needs and goals we have while going through the Mortage process. They have been life savers in the past and did and awesome job for us again this time. I’d highly recommend the Marre Good Team!
