I want to say thanks to this fantastic team for the fast and efficient way that my refinancing process was handled. All was done online and was very clear. We got regular emails and updates on where we were in the process. This is the way to go for financing a home in the 2020s!

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.

Refinancing with Chris Borg at Vantage Mortgage Group was a pleasure.The process was efficient and painless due to his knowledge and responsive customer service skills! Chris was friendly and professional, always available to answer questions and give progress updates throughout the entire process. I highly recommend him! Carol Gordin

Peder and his team were awesome. Made the process seamless with quick and clear communication. Will definitely use again if we need to refinance.

Peder Quello walked me through my refi process and things moved along smoothly. I had some trouble with the technology required, but he made sure I knew how to get it done. He got me a great rate and I can't be happier.

Andy and Team helped me procure my first home. I had no idea what I was doing but they handled everything and walked me though it with ease. The customer service they provided made me feel comfortable throughout the process. Most of my questions I asked through email and would get a response or a phone call within minutes. 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!

Kathy Harris

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.

Chris Losinger made the process of refinancing a mortgage easy and expeditious. He was very personable, informative and responsive throughout the entire transaction. Thank you for your expertise.

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!

Mark Bernet

23:42 27 Nov 20

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.

Yumi is hands down the best loan officer that anyone could have. She answered the multitude of my questions in a very responsive manner. Extremely easy to work with!

Meagan Garrow

I’ve worked with Andy Harris for 14 years now! He’s helped me anytime I needed a mortgage and made the process incredibly smooth and fast! I refer Vantage to all of my friends and family and will continue to do so. They are the BEST!

David Kelly

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!

Brittney Nguyen

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.

Rebecca Richardson

Andy made our first-time home buying process so easy and painless. I have nothing but positive things to say about him and the entire Vantage Mortgage team. Andy and his team are incredibly proactive, quick to respond, easy to work with, and so, so patient. We always felt like we were in such good hands. HIGHLY recommend!

Samuel Palmer-Simon

Working with Andy made my refi so easy, hassle-free and it went off without a hitch. Everything was done electronically - document submissions, signings, etc. Plus, if I had questions, Andy would respond within a few minutes - so refreshing! Andy and the Vantage team are the best...excellent systems, great rates, outstanding customer service. Look no further!

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!

Michael Langford

00:38 01 May 20

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.

15:52 22 Apr 20

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.

Krystyna Kielb

17:28 07 Apr 20

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!

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!

The Vantage Mortgage Group was referred to us from our realtor and I'm glad I took her recommendation. Todd and the team made us feel as though we are the only clients and made our first home buying experience a breeze. Every conversation (whether in person, over the phone, email, txt) they gave us options and clearly defined guidance on how to proceed with every step of the process.

My husband and I were referred to Andy Harris with Vantage Mortgage Group and we truly could not be happier with Andy and his entire team. We reached out to Andy mid-way through escrow with another lender when we did not agree with how our lender was doing business. Andy was so knowledgeable and trustworthy and gave us hope that everything was going to be OK and work out just fine. Not only did things work out perfectly, but Andy was able to close in record time, was extremely helpful throughout the process, and he gave us incredible rates. Andy is hands down one of the best professionals in the business and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and trustworthy partner through your home buying process.

We recently wanted to take advantage of the low interest rates and decided to refinance. Todd Gydesen helped us with our home a few years ago, but had moved over to Vantage. We started with our original lender, but did not have a great experience with their customer service. Thankfully, I kept Todd’s email with new contact information.

He has excellent customer service and explains things very clearly. He kept an eye on the market and offered a better rate. His team worked really fast and the whole process was seamless.

Andy and the Vantage team did an exceptional job for us with our recent new construction home purchase. Andy was informative, consultative and very responsive from start to finish. The process was easy and I loved being about to upload documents to the portal from home. I also appreciated the rate tracker and found all fees were exactly as stated so there were no surprises at closing. We were very happy with our decision to work with Andy and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

My experience with Yogesh Lulla and Andy Harris at Vantage Groups was amazing. We had a tight timeline to close and they were on top of the job and helped complete everything flawlessly and on time. Their team was proactive, knowledgeable, punctual and they helped make the stressful process of home buying, much more peaceful than I'd imagined. Definitely have my recommendation!

Anthony is the consummate professional. He took my challenging situation and created a mortgage package that would work for me. While I've known Tony since high school, this was my first professional transaction with him and it won't be my last! He made sure every detail was covered and worked with me to make sure that all the paperwork was complete. He made sure that things pushed forward at every step.

Working with a local company was very important to me, they are local and they care about their customers.

Thank you Tony and Vantage Mortgage for a job well done!

When I had a question about a re-fi, Chris was cool and helpful with no strings attached. I believe he genuinely wants to help people. Thanks for facilitating my request Chris!

We've close on many homes, and Vantage kept the process simple!

My experience with Vantage was awesome. A friendly knowledgeable staff, prompt response to all questions, and locally based. Tia and her team at Vantage made the entire refinancing process completely painless from start to finish, and the whole thing only took about 3wks. I would highly recommend Vantage, and I will be using them again.

Andy Harris and his team are amazing! He is always quick to respond and walk us through all of the questions and data. He makes the process so seamless. We have worked with Andy on both of our home purchases and I would continue to work with him again. On this most recent purchase he was able to close in under 20 days!!! I highly recommend working with Andy and his team!

My husband & I were wanting to move from Colorado to Oregon. We are self-employed, which is a time-consuming process when verifying income. Several years ago, I had owned my own mortgage company, so was very familiar with the mortgage process. However, when trying to purchase a residence in OR- we knew no one, so relied upon the recommendations of our Realtor- that was a giant fiasco and total waste of time! We were extremely frustrated at this point and felt like just a # - we highly recommend avoiding the likes of Academy Mortgage and Caliber Home Loans! I decided to find our own lender and did a thorough Google search and found Andy & Vantage Mortgage. What a night & day difference! He immediately responded to our inquiry (on a Saturday afternoon), requested we email him our information and promised to get the process started immediately. Andy & his team definitely delivered & consistently provided open lines of communication, were always very professional, as well as very informative. This company is very transparent in disclosing all costs associated with obtaining a mortgage- and very fair! Keep in mind, all of this was done while still in Colorado. Now, with much appreciation to Andy & his team, we own a home in Oregon and have begun the moving process!

Anthony has been great to work with. We have had two loans with Vantage and Anthony has made the entire process go very smooth. We would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for a refinance or home loan.

Andy and his team were beyond excellent! He was always in communication about every step of the process, even when he was out of the office. He really knows the business and was really honest and upfront about everything. When it came time to close the team was so efficient that when we asked to close a few days early, they exceeded our expectations and closed over a week earlier than our initial date. They made this whole process a breeze and it makes me comfortable recommending them to anyone looking for their services.

I am blown away by this company. They did an incredible job from start to finish and even got us an early close. We contacted Andy on a Wednesday, and had our preapproval the same day. Put in an offer on a house on Sunday and had keys in hand 26 days later. Andy is dedicated to his clients and was available at a moments notice for all of our questions and needs. I cannot thank him and his team enough for all of the hard work and for all of the help that they provided us.
Do not go with anyone else. This is your lender. You will not be disappointed.
Thank you Andy!!!!
