Lorne, you made the process easy!
Lorne,
Thank you very much for all the help through the process. You have made it very easy. We have been recommending you to a lot of people as you were very knowledgeable and easy to work with.
Thanks for everything,
Chad Avery
Lorne is my go to guy!
Lorne is a dedicated lender who did an amazing job of closing a house in 18 days recently for my buyers. He always responds to texts, phone calls, or e-mails at all hours, which suits me well.
Lorne’s “can-do” attitude instilled great confidence in buyers, sellers, and me.
Thank you for your great service, Lorne! I look forward to many more closings with you!!

Your personality and integrity was evident
Dear Lorne,
Thank you very much for working with us in obtaining the loan for our new home. You did an outstanding job for my wife and me in the processing of our home loan. Your personal integrity was evident throughout the process. You were available, comprehensive and kept the process moving at a pace that more than met our expectations.
We would recommend you without reservation to anyone who was seeking to secure a home loan. Thank you again for your professional and competent assistance in obtaining our home loan.
Sincerely,
Bob Ratcliff

Lorne made it all happen ~ THANK YOU!!!
To Whom It May Concern:
I had gone on a web site looking into FHA Lending and I left my name and phone number. I was contacted by approx. 5 different loan officers and one of those people was Lorne Harvey.
By this time, I had already dealt with 3 other banks and/or mortgage companies. All 3 had tried to make my loan go through but each time that we got to the point of contacting FHA I was denied. I was denied because I have a daycare in my home and at the time I was in a rental that I was forced to use approx. 80% of the home and FHA requires that you can only use up to 25%. FHA refused to look at the home that I was looking into buying, using less than 25%, and they would only focus on the past usage in the previous tax returns.
Anyway, during the time that I was contacted by Lorne, I was about to give up and each time I was contacted by anyone I explained my situation and they all gave up right off the bat. Except for Lorne, he asked if could look into it and get back to me, which he did!
After a TON of phone calls, hard work, and time put into dealing with FHA and going through the hoops… Lorne made it all happen!! I worked on this with so many people for more than 6 months and nobody could do anything for me but Lorne. Ultimately, he saved my business and got me into my very first home. I owe Lorne more than I can put into words! And at this point all I can say is THANK YOU!!!! And just before Christmas!
Sincerely,
Rebecca Leslie
Funds ready in 3 weeks . . . thank you!!
Dear Lorne,
After a long and lengthy process of dealing with a short sale we are finally in our dream home. Along the way there are only a few things that went smooth and as planned. Those things were centered around you and your team.
Once we finally got the acceptance of our purchase price from the listing bank your team jumped into action. I can’t believe you got the appraisal, sent everything to underwriting, took care of all needed documentation, received final approval and it was ready to fund in 3 weeks. What was really amazing is Christmas fell during those 3 weeks. Being self-employed and with the added guidelines and documentation needed this was outstanding.
All of this may be the exception rather than the rule but I can tell you from dealing with many mortgage brokers over the years with my rental property I can assure you I am not a simple case and you certainly know your stuff, but more importantly you are willing to go the extra mile to be sure your client is taken care of. You made us feel very comfortable dealing with someone from out of town and I would recommend your service to anyone in need of a home loan. Thanks again for your professionalism and dedication.
Sincerely,
Jim and Julie
Closed my loan in 22 days . . . seems like pure magic!!
Dear Lorne,
Thank you so much for helping with my recent mortgage. You delivered on all of your promises and more.
I have to admit I was skeptical that we’d bring in a closing in less than 30 days, but from my count, we came in around 21-22 days. It seemed like pure magic was worked on your end. I have to tell you that I thought the experience was going to be difficult, painful and extremely time consuming. The fact that a lot of transactions were completed online simplified the process considerably.
In the end though I have to say it was your attention to detail and to the customer – me – that made the loan transaction a pleasure. I can’t believe I’m actually saying this – that a mortgage transaction was a pleasure. That’s kind of weird to say in this day and age.
Should you need a reference send them my way. You will assuredly receive a glowing recommendation from me.
Regards,
Jeff Clark
Wow, only 3 weeks . . . I thought it would be 60 days or more
Dear Lorne,
My husband and I would like to recommend Lorne Harvey to anyone needing a home loan agent. We were very pleased with his pleasant but professional procedure in getting us a home loan that best fit our situation. He thought of everything in advance of what we would need for our loan application, to make it happen smoothly and quickly. Jerry and I were very excited that it only took 3 weeks to finalize our loan, when we were expecting up to 60 days. One of the most important things we really appreciated about Lorne is he always answered his phone, or called us back promptly. He was very patient with us and being a bit older we needed that. We could tell he loves his job because he gives it his best.
Happy Homeowners,
Jerry and Kay Munden
Thank you for all your hard work
Dear Lorne,
Ok well we are really looking forward to our new home and we are sure you were the right choice to get us there thank you for all your hard work.
Sincerely,

It was a long process, but Lorne got it done

Thank you Lorne for your commitment
Lorne,
When I decided to start the home buying process I did a lot of research on-line about the variety of different loans available to me and in this process I came in contact with Lorne Harvey who over the past year I have worked with strictly on line due to the fact that he is located across the state from me. My experience working with Lorne has been nothing but the best. Lorne not only committed himself to his job as my loan officer but to me as a person. He was always on top of everything; he anticipated what the underwriters would want and ensured that we were prepared for their requests. When we would come across something that could have slowed us down he worked hard to find the solution to ensure our success. Even though I was never able to walk into his office he was never out of touch with me, answering all my emails if not immediately within 24hrs, as well as phoning me with more pressing matters as needed. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone, and if in the future I ever choose to purchase another home I will call on him.

You even answered emails outside of business hours
Dear Lorne,
I wish to take the time to thank you in writing for the professional manner in which you shepherded our loan application through the process to its successful conclusion. It had been many years since I had pursued residential financing, and it became quite clear to me that the procedures had changed significantly, and the level of scrutiny applied by the loan underwriters was much intensified.
I appreciated your thorough understanding of the various steps, and especially your capacity to explain the reasoning behind requirements that might at first have seemed superfluous. The thoroughness you displayed in instructing me in my collection of the necessary documents limited the demands on my time at this task. Your estimates of how long it would take to clear each hurdle were accurate, and helped to give me a sense that we were indeed making progress.
I can attest from direct experience that you have a better overview of the mortgage products available today than do the other mortgage loan officers I contacted when we first began the search for funding. You put me into the right program from the beginning, avoiding the kinds of missteps that could haunt an applicant dealing with a less proficient lender.
Finally, I was impressed with your enthusiasm, as you showed through your willingness to answer email messages outside of normal business hours. I’m confident I would not have received such courtesies from your competitors.
Sincerely,
Dirk Fledderjohann
You are truly the best!
Hi Lorne,
I am just writing to thank you again for all the hard work you did in order to get my loan closed for my new home. Patience is not one of my strong points and throughout the loan process you assisted me almost immediately with every question and/or concern I had. I didn’t have time to become impatient! You were so thorough in helping me understand the process and although I know you must have had other clients, I felt as if I was the only one. You are truly the best and if I hear of anyone who needs a loan, I will absolutely send them your way!!
Thanks so much!
Angela Marie
You responded to my questions immediately
Hi Lorne,
I want to extend a sincere and heartfelt thank you for making my experience as a first time home buyer such a seamless one. You even managed to make it FUN! That must be practically unheard of in the world of home financing.
Trying to find someone to finance a log home was a challenge but you stepped right up and made it happen. I also appreciated the fact that you would respond to my questions immediately, at any time of the day or night and even on weekends. I think you even answered my call in the middle of French dip night!
You were able to lock us in at a terrific rate (even better than the one I was quoted by my own bank) so I had not only the financial advantage but the luxury of personalized service.
I will forever recommend you to anyone who is embarking upon a home purchase because you clearly love what you do and you take the time to make your people feel valued and secure.
We love our new little mini-farm and couldn’t have done it without you. Please stop in for a visit anytime.
Take Care,
Holly Warner
I wanted to thank you again
Dear Lorne,
I wanted to write to thank you again for your incredible work on our home financing in the past couple of years.
When we refinanced our house in Athena, the deal was really smooth and we came away from closing with a lot more money than we expected. Nice work on your conservative estimate. That was a great surprise at closing!
Last month you really impressed me again, not only with the speed at which you were able to pull financing together for our house here in Walla Walla but even more with how you were able to keep everything moving at the last minute when we came up a few dollars short on our sale. I’m not sure how many calls you made in the last hour before we signed but I’m pretty sure you were in contact with our mortgage company, underwriting, both title companies, and realtors. You really went beyond our expectations to make the deals go through and we are extremely grateful for all of your work.
We’ve been recommending you to all of our friends and will continue to point people in your direction as we run across families looking to refinance or buy new homes. Thanks again for all your help. Outstanding work on both deals!
Sincerely,
Sean Calvert
We would not have our condo if not for you
Dear Lorne,
Thank you so much for all of your help in financing our condo! If it hadn’t been for your perseverance, we may never have been able to have the condo we have always dreamed of.
After the first obstacle, we realized how very helpful you are. You walked us through all of the steps to move on to the next phase. When we were given another hurdle to clear, my husband and I commented on you were so sincere in the way you really cared about helping us. After the third item that came up that needed a resolution for us to be able to proceed in our purchase, we were ready to give up on our dream. You were so patient and worked so hard, we said, “How can we give up when Lorne isn’t giving up and he is working so hard for us?”
So we followed your lead and did everything you told us to do. Thank you so much for all of your hard work, patience, helpfulness and caring! We would not be able to call our condo home without all you have done.
Sincerely,
Kelly & Paula Hammer
