We love what we do so much because we consistently create happy clients. Here is what some of them have had to say about working with us.
“Ruby and the team at Salmon Bay are AMAZING! She helped my wife and I get a mortgage loan during some truly unprecedented volatility in the market. Ruby is well informed, strategic, trustworthy, compassionate, smart and a fantastic advocate and communicator. We’re so lucky to have connected with her and her team and thrilled with the results!“
“Professionalism, dependability, consistency, integrity, follow-through (all with a sense of warmth and humor) are only some of the qualities I and my clients may count on when working with the team. Ruby Grynberg and her amazing fellow mortgage consultants have closed dozens upon dozens of deals for my clients. Incredibly, we have a PERFECT on-time closing record.“
“Ruby and Paige guided me through a complicated refinance tied to a legal case over property in a divorce settlement. Their grace, good humor, steady confidence, and overall caring for the client made a very difficult situation much more bearable. They timed everything perfectly with the parallel legal case and I came through it all whole. Many thanks to Salmon Bay Lending! “
“I am newly pregnant and worried because we are at the finish line and my entire life is about to change in major ways. I think I am a little scared. Suddenly I am going to own my own home and for the first time ever my name is going to be on my house. That’s huge! Thanks for being you! I am so thankful.”
“The staff are fabulous and make the process of lending a joy. They were with every step of the way and made the journey fun and they answered every question (I had many) quickly and efficiently.I highly recommend Salmon Bay for their expertise, friendliness, and flat out ability to get the job done.“
“Our pleasure (for the referral). I’m a big believer in referrals—as an attorney, I see how stressful it is for my friends to find the right people to advise them, ranging from lawyers, bankers, accountants etc. I love it when I have a good name to pass on. We’ve enjoyed doing business with you!”
‘Ruby does an amazing job understanding your needs, and translating that into a good action plan. She sees both the big picture and the nitty-gritty details really well, and has amazing judgment for recommending which option to go with. I always enjoy our talks in front of a spreadsheet! That’s because she patiently discusses the pros and cons of changing each factor.”
“Crystal-clear communication from our first conversation all the way to closing, sound education for us on how home loans work (I feel like I ACTUALLY understood what was happening and what all the numbers meant the whole way through, as a complete novice), proactive check-ins for 1.5 years just to make sure Salmon Bay stayed updated on our process, professionalism in all forms of correspondence, a team that inspired so much confidence with their expertise (special shout out to Paige here), responsiveness, kindness and cheerfulness without exception, proactive outreach to the seller’s agent when we made an offer, local credibility and relationships that certainly played a role in getting us our house“
“I just refinanced my home with Salmon Bay Community Lending. This is the third transaction I have completed with Ruby and her team and they were, as always, amazing communicators and a dream to work with. Real estate transactions are stressful and there are a lot of moving pieces. However, I always felt informed and like I knew where I was in the process and what steps needed to be taken to get to closing. “
“Scott, my lender, was so kind and patient and I appreciate him so much. He took a great deal of consideration to provide me everything for my best interest and I enjoyed talking to him. This company totally deserves to be recognized because they are very good at what they do and their services made such a positive impact on my life.“
“I didn’t know mortgage brokers came in such a great package. My experience with Salmon Bay felt totally personalized. Ruby is very clear about the math, the pre-approval process, and establishing expectations. She asks important questions and cares about your individual goals. The whole Salmon Bay team was very supportive and responsive. I trusted the process the entire way. Seattle has a lot of great local businesses, this is one of them!”
“If you’re looking for a loan, they’ll find you the best thing out there. We refinanced a home with them that we thought for sure we wouldn’t be able to afford to refi, and then later used them again to finance our new home. They have a secure service for supplying documents (loan apps, proof of financials, etc), which is awesome. So many companies in this industry seem to be stuck in the dark ages. If you like the way Redfin does things, you should definitely check out Salmon Bay. They’re a great match“
“I changed lenders for my new home purchase and I am so glad I did. Not that the previous lender did anything wrong, but Ruby made the process so much easier to understand. The worksheets to best understand our qualifying rates and what our closing costs needed to be to get the mortgage rate we wanted were priceless in helping us to understand what was going on.“
“The entire process was seamless and simple. The online application was easy to navigate and only asked the necessary questions. The weekly video updates ensured we knew where we were at in the process and limited the amount of hands-on action we had to take to finalize the process. I would highly recommend Spin, Ruby, and the whole team at Salmon Bay Community Lending!“
“We really feel you went above and beyond. Trying to coordinate both buying and selling a house seemed like an endless number of loan permutations and possibilities and you were so patient with all my questions and concerns. In the end, it couldn’t have worked out more smoothly. We felt very well taken care of.”
