Working with Kerry and his team was awesome! They were extremely patient and understanding with our needs and questions, quick to answer calls or return messages, and were always a pleasure to talk to during the "nerve-wrecking" time of buying or refinancing a home. We will always refer our friends and family to Kerry and his team at Creekside Mortgage, Inc!

I have done several mortgage and refinance loans over the years with Gayle Hepler at Creekside Mortgage, Inc. and this was by far the easiest experience I have had to date. We were locked in early December and within 14 days the notary was at our home and we were signing all the paperwork. She even found an appraisal waiver for this process, saving us $800! The entire process is very smooth and I highly recommend this broker and company. I will definitely do business with Gayle again. She is communicative and works fast!

Kerry and his team were amazing. They let me know that rates had dropped tremendously and that I qualified for a refinance at a much lower rate. I saved a lot of money in interest each month. I feel so safe having them leading me through any dealings with my mortgage!! I will keep in close contact with them and highly recommend Kerry and his team!

We have been using Creekside mortgage since 2008 and the team always has our best interest in mind. I get the refinance now spam like everyone and when I call Creekside and talk to Kerry her always lays out the pro’s and con’s for me and let me know what’s in our best interest. Recently I wasn’t even paying attention and Creekside reached out and told me now was a great time to refi due to the low rates. The process was fast, convenient and very professional; Kerry runs a tight ship and I love it. If you haven’t seen the video’s Kerry does on their Facebook page I find them very informative and a testament to how he cares about ensuring his clients are well informed.

Barrett Adams from Creekside Mortgage was our loan officer. He came highly recommended to us by our financial advisor and did not disappoint. My fiancee' and I are first time home buyers and were definitely overwhelmed by the amount of jargon, mathematics, and paperwork associated with purchasing a home. On top of that, a pandemic is on the rise which brought a lot of uncertainty to the future. Barrett was able to alleviate those fears by guiding us through the process. He was able to communicate effectively via phone calls, emails, and text messages. More importantly, he was very flexible in terms of adjusting to our schedule because both my partner and I work graveyard shifts. From the pre-approval to the home purchase, all our transactions were smooth and transparent. We highly recommend him if you're looking into a home mortgage or refinancing your home.

It has taken me a long time to gt around to doing this review, but even after being in our new home almost a year, we still have good feelings and tremendous respect for Kerry, our Loan Officer and his Loan Officer Assistant, Michelle . We had not purchased a home in over 20 years and my, how things have changed! We were getting a VA loan and so much was required, but they were so pateient with us and were always positive and helpful and treated us with such respect. I would recommend them to anyone buying a new home--and especially if you are gettng a VA/GI loan. They are really on top of things! Sincerely, Don and Jenni Sinclair Forest Grove, OR

Kerry Greenwald is a VA mortgage all star. We used Creekside to purchase our home and later to refinance. Kerry has gone to great lengths to explain the intricacies of the loans to us so that we feel like we really understand what we are committing to. Kerry's team is courteous, responsive and tremendously helpful. I can't recommend them enough!

Words can not describe how very grateful we are to Kerry Greenwald and his team at Creekside Mortgage. In desperation, after a previous Loan Officer strung us along for over a month and our loan was ultimately denied, we discovered Creekside Mortgage. Being that they specialize in VA Loans we decided to try them as our last hope. Kerry and his assistant Joe Kuziel took over our file and turned this nightmare into a dream, and in record time on top of it all. They went above and beyond. They were so helpful, gave us great advice, and were there to answer any of our questions and concerns. They gave us hope when we had lost it. We wish that we would have went with them from the beginning. It would have saved us a lot of heartache and stress.

It was a pleasure working with Kerry Greenwald & his Loan Officer Michelle Gaifalakis. Not only did they work extra hard to overcome some difficult hurdles that came up with the purchase of the home, but they made the whole loan process seem like a dream. We have purchased several homes in the past, and by far working with Creekside Mortgage Co was best experience we ever had. After overcoming the hurdles we could not believe how easy the whole process went all the way to closing. They explained everything fully and with their advice assisted us to make the best financial decisions. As Veterans we believe in giving back, and helping Vets. It was nice to be on the receiving end. We received a VA loan, with great terms and a fantastic interest rate. We could not have been more happy with their service.

Kerry Greenwald and his team at Creekside Mortgage did an excellent job of making our Refinance process go through smoothly. With their expertise and step by step instructions, we were able to gather all the required documentation needed to complete our file for the VA Refinance Loan. We were impressed with how quickly the loan went through and was really satisfied with the end result. Thanks again for all your help.

I love working with this company and always ask for Nicolle. She is awesome and always checks in to see how things are going. She keeps me updated on the progress and immediately notifies me if there are any issues. What was even better, I only had to go to the office once, everything else was done on line. When I am aware that a veteran is looking into buying a home, I always recommend Creekside Mortgage. They even do other loans and some without down payments. When you go to close, you will find all your paper work is in order and closing is quick. If you are looking for quality, honesty, hard working, and working for you and your interest, Creekside is the best!! Since I have been doing business with them for 4 years now, they seem like family to me. What ever your need is and you think you won't qualify - check these people out. They will work with you no matter how long it takes.
Description of Work: Refinance my VA mortgage loan and take out the equity. Nicolle helped me obtain my house using my VA benefits. She researched my previous purchase nearly 30 years ago and between us, we were able to obtain the documentation needed to release me from my previous VA loan - long story. She helped me with credit issues caused by my divorce and Creekside Mortgage was able to get me a good loan and I bought my house. Since then, Creekside Mortgage contacted me to let me k now the mortgage rates had dropped and that I qualified to lower my payment. This saved me thousands of dollars. Because they did such an awesome job, when I needed money to do some upgrades, I contacted Nicolle, and we closed last week (with an even lower interest rate) and now I can begin my upgrades and more!

Kerry, Joe and Nicole help me in lowering my mortgage rate down to 3.25%. Saving me more than $130.00 per month and allowing me to retrieve my escrow money(about $4,000.00) and miss 2 months of payment. Overall a retrieval of around $8,000.00. Money we will need for our wedding next year. They were very prompt and very professional. I would recommend them to anyone looking to refinance there home. Thank you guys for all your help and making this a very easy transition. Napoleon McKinney

Yesterday our dream came true as we closed and recorded on our new home and property. We can honestly say that our dream would never have come true if it wasn’t for Kerry and Michelle from Creekside Mortgage and our realtor Robin Conrad from Expert Realty NW. As a veteran I was looking for a team that I could trust, that would shoot straight with me, and would go to work getting us what we really wanted in a property. Creekside’s team showed integrity and responsiveness right from the start. Kerry worked with us to find the absolute best rate possible and Michelle worked to ensure all the documentation the underwriter could possible need was done. Robin spent hours driving us around most of Clark County and helped lead us to the perfect property. The entire team was always prompt, responsive, and courteous. We could not be happier with the service and attention we received. Thank you Kerry, Michelle, and Robin for a truly wonderful experience and for making our dream come true!

Awesome Team at Creekside Mortgage. I started the process online and it continued with frequent phone calls to update information. The entire process though Creekside Mortgage was done over the phone or through the internet. I have a great experience with the Kerry and Nicolle, I don't think I could say enough great things about these two. Kerry did a outstanding job ensuring that the paperwork would pass the first time. Nicolle was awesome she never let anything stand in our way to be able to purchase the home of our dreams. I could not have got through this process as easy without Nicolle's help. Thank you again to all of the associates at Creekside Mortgage Tim

After looking into Mortgage companies in our area, my wife and I settled on Creekside because of the reviews and their work with veteran's. Our initial meeting with Kerry was enough for my us realize we had made the right choice. Kerry was very personable and explained a lot to us that we weren't aware of. He turned everything over to Nicolle and from there on she made sure I was up to date on everything. We will definitely work with them in the future and pass their name along. Kevin Hood

After looking at a few Mortgage Companies on Angie's List, I was going to be in the area & decided to call Creekside Mortgage to see if someone had time to talk with me that afternoon about a Home Re-Finance that my wife & I had been considering looking into. Gayle @ Creekside made time in her schedule & met with me shortly after my call. I had a number of questions & Gayle gave me all the time I needed to discuss options,rates,terms, all the questions I threw at her. After discussing with my wife that night, we decided to move forward & re-finance our home. Creekside started the re-finance for us the next day, gave me multiple options on rates & lenders, laid out what documents I needed to provide to help things go smoothly & discussed what we could expect during the process. Gayle moved things forward as quicker than I had hoped for or expected. We had the initial papers signed & rate lock in place within a couple of days of our first meeting. The Re-Finance process was started just before Thanksgiving so everything was taking place right in the middle of the holidays, even so the process continued to move along smoothly & easily. I was very impressed with the communication provided by Creekside Mortgage, I was kept up to date on a very regular basis. For me, Gayle handled her communications with perfection, providing regular updates by email mixed with Phone calls at appropriate times during the process to address any matters that otherwise might have increased the time it takes to get the re-finance completed. Even with the holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years, the entire Re-Finance took just over 30 days. It would have been even shorter, but the appraiser provided by the lender took his sweet time getting his piece of the puzzle taken care of. The overall loan costs were very, very reasonable in my opinion, I'd been thru home purchases & re-finances in the past & had a fairly good idea of what to expect & look for. There were no out of pocket fee's to cover the work done by Creekside Mortgage, I got a very favorable loan rate with a very small "discount" fee (1/8 of a point) to put the rate where I wanted it. The rate I ended up with was even slightly lower that what we had discussed to expect during our first meeting. The loan costs were well laid out, clear & limited only to costs involved with the Appraisal / Title Company / signing / filing. In the end, I have nothing but good things to say about Creekside Mortgage, I'd use them again without hesitation it was the best experience I've had when dealing with a home purchase or Re-Finance. Re-financing isn't a fun process, but Gayle / Creekside Mortgage certainly made it easier.
