What clients say about Blake

Highly recommend working with Blake and his team for any and all mortgage needs. His knowledge of how to navigate the loan process, and the real estate market in general, makes him a fantastic partner for a home purchase . Everyone who had a hand in our transaction complemented his timeliness and communication. We’re very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Blake!

Blake was great to work with and I couldn’t have been more pleased with his service. He diligently answered my questions, of which there were a lot, or sought out answers to make sure I understood every step of the loan process. Blake also saved me a significant amount of cost over the life of my loan by keeping me up to date on rates as I approached closing and advised me of the risks of waiting vs locking in my rate in advance. Ultimately, I was able to lock in my rate at the floor (comparing to the year prior) and avoid an almost full percentage increase less than a week later. I would highly recommend Blake and will be working with him again on any future loans.

Working with Blake was seamless and precise. His communication made the process clear and helped keep it all on track. Fully plan on working with him at any future opportunity and highly recommend the same to anyone looking for a mortgage professional to guide them.

My wife and I worked with Blake Thornton on our first home purchase and could not have asked for a more reliable and knowledgeable resource. Blake guided us through five different offers in a very competitive Portland market in one of the most dynamic interest rate environments. With so much uncertainty with interest rates, Blake communicated with us daily leading up to locking our rate and as a result helped us lock our rate lower than what we were expecting. Blake was honest, transparent, and reliable communicating with us every step of the way which made our first time purchase an awesome experience. We would recommend Blake to family and friends, and already have! Thanks Blake!

Blake did a terrific job helping us buy a home. He is very knowledgeable and more importantly the one time he wasn't sure about a question we had he did research and got back to us right away, rather than give us a wrong answer. He was always accessible and when we needed a document asap on a weekend he got it to us in minutes. Our realtor was also very impressed with how easy he was to work with and even mentioned she will be referring Blake to her clients in the future.

We had a great experience with Blake Thornton. Blake helped us navigate the purchase of our first house and we were so grateful to have his guidance throughout the process. Blake is incredibly knowledgeable, always made himself available to answer questions, and helped us quickly close on our house. Our entire home-buying experience was much less stressful with his guidance and expertise.

Blake was professional and helpful, walking us through the paperwork each step of the way. He was able to articulate not just what each step of the process was, but why it was important, putting us at ease during such a large transaction. I'm looking forward to using Blake for my next financing.
