1st Security Bank of Washington Review

Crystal was amazing to work with! Husband and I just purchased our first home with her help. She always kept us updated and answered any questions, definitely recommend!

Highly recommend Alycia Edmonds and her team, they are a pleasure to talk to and work with and they are quick to get things done.

Alycia Edmonds and her team are fast and efficient at getting you the best deal for what you are looking for. They are very professional and have great customers service. My husband and I have been trying to find the best bank to go with for our refinance. All of the small credit unions that we had inquired with did not make us feel comfortable with choosing them. We felt like just another number to them. With Alycia and her team, you are not just a number but a priority.

Great service. Staff was professional and courteous.

Alycia and team were efficient, responsive and professional.

Bill will oversee your project from start to finish. He is truly a professional and it was a pleasure working with him and everyone at his office.

BEWARE! absolutely the worse experience. I am not a customer nor will I ever be a customer of this business.

This place has the worst online tools, the worst app and the worst everything. They only redeeming quality of this bank is the people ARE friendly when you call, which is nice. Anything else about this bank is horrible. Worse? They recommend you get their app, yet it doesn't state you can't do the most obvious of things -- like setup the ability to use a third party bank to pay your loan. Stay away from this place if you value your sanity.

Bill was very professional and efficient. It was a pleasure dealing with him. If your looking for a loan, check this guy out first.

Kathy was so great to work with! As first time home buyers, it was great to have someone on your team who was always willing to explain the details of the loan so you could make an educated decision. She was also very responsive and communicative about each step of the loan process. Plus she is so nice!

Jeana Murphy from 1st Security was phenomenal to work with. She took care of us every step of the refinance. I never had to call. She always was a step ahead and made this process painless and quick. I would recommend Jeana to any one seeking mortgage or refinancing assistance.

First and foremost, Tracy White understands the ever changing real estate market and financials involved. Her dedication to details, thorough explanation of what to anticipate in the closing documents (fees, expenses, etc...) along with striving to support us as her customer is second to none. I would highly recommend any prospective home buyer to consider using the services of Tracy and her financial institution.

Helped us with a refinance to get an incredible mortgage rate. Everyone was super helpful amd had great communication. Couldn't ask for anything more.

Brad and crew are amazing. Thank you Sheena for all your hard work!!

Worked with Barb Huber for the 3rd time. Shes done a refi and 2 home purchases. Always wonderful to work with. Very knowledgeable, patient, and clear communicator that has always had our families best interest in mind. Have referred friends and family that ended up working with her and will continue to do so! Will definitely be back for our next home purchase.

Crystal was amazing. She was able to help us get our home loan with no headache at all. She was willing to be available after hours and on weekends for any questions we had. I would highly recommend Crystal and 1st security any time!

Ryan and his team kept in constant contact with us. He was quick to respond to any questions we had. His team made us feel like we were his #1 client. We would highly recommend Ryan and his team.

I want everyone to know how wonderful it was to work with the team at !st Security Bank of Washington, especially Alycia Edmonds. Alycia and the team were amazing, kind, supportive, professional, and personable. I had a bad experience with a previous lender and was a bit nervous about buying a house again. They were empathetic to my concerns, patient and thoughtful. They answered all my questions, and kept me updated constantly during the lending process. I probably would have got cold feet about buying again if it weren't for Alycia. My family is in our new home now and settled. The experience buying the house has made this purchase one of the best decisions of our lives. Thank you Alycia and team for putting up with me and my nervousness. I am forever grateful for your support.

Alycia Edmonds and her associates helped me purchase my first home. Friendly and helpful staff were very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had.

I worked with Ron Poborsky at 1st Security Bank and had an absolutely excellent experience. The entire process of my mortgage went wonderfully thanks to Ron and his team!

Great experience and professionalism. I highly recommend for new buyer refinance. I have worked with Julie 3 times and always get great results. Will continue for future needs!

Barb Huber is outstanding at her job! She gets the details taken care of in a timely manner. Takes the time to explain the details someone may not understand. She simply gets everything right the first time. As long as she is in the industry, she is who I'll use for my financing needs.

I would gladly recommend this company in future conversations. Great job!! Very professional and efficient.

Wonderful attention to detail and super helpful every step of the way. Couldn't imagine working with anyone else to get a home loan.

I worked with Dexter on my first home purchase years ago and on every other home transaction since. I will stick with him on every transaction in the future. Him and his team are incredible. I have recommended him to others and they have all said the same after working with him. Thanks Dex!

My friends and I agree, Robert Brooks is the best in the business.

He is smart, punctual, caring, wise and his service is top notch. A true professional. He helped us to understand the complexities of buying our home and gave us great advice at every turn.

Also, buying a home is a stressful process. Robert was caring and warm and walked us through the process is a very effective, gentle manner. I will work with him again for sure.

It couldn t have been any better Brad Sheena and everybody there was terrific best experience I ever had with a financial institution and I ve been around for quite a long time I couldn t thank him enough

Highly recommend working with Dexter Wellington for home financing. Dexter was patient with my questions, and gave detailed and thoughtful responses, considering my current financial state.

Throughout the homebuying experience, Dexter was responsive, even at times when I would have expected him to be offline. Additionally, Dexter came prepared with several home-financing scenarios as we narrowed in on an offer.

Because of the multiple projections he gave us, my husband and I were comfortable and confident in the purchase price and monthly payments. I would happily work with Dexter again, and recommend him to anyone seeking financing.

Barb and her team are amazing. She has helped me with my past several loans, is always organized, thoughtful, and thorough and an excellent communicator. She will have my business for life.

Crystal is fantastic. She is friendly, answers questions in a timely fashion, and genuinely wants to help you.

Enrico and his team made the home loan process so easy. They were super communicative, responsive and on top of things, and we were able to close very quickly. Would definitely work with him again and recommend to anyone!

Brad & his support team are on top of it! Didnt know what to really expect during these untested virus times. We all were dealing with uncertainty. The markets were upside down, but through it all, Brad & team Brad made it happen. I got a very competitive loan and closed right on time. Everyone was wonderful to work with. Thank you all!

Mrs Lana Steele is an outstanding loan officer. She facilitated my home loan and two times refinancing with extraordinary performance. She gave me advice whenever I asked her. I therefore wholeheartedly recommend her to whoever wants to buy a house.

Barbara (Barb) Huber is the best Senior Loan Officer ever! I can't recall how many loans I have closed with her over the years but each and every one was customized to me, well managed, and she made us comfortable each time (ie she cares). So great to know a person that takes care of people, works hard, and has knowledge you can't read in a book (from experience and expertise!). Thanks Barb!

You wont find a more honest, forthright, and knowledgeable loan officer. He is truly an asset to his clients. I have referred him to many of my friends.

The home-buying process was efficient smooth. The online document sites were simple and easy to understand which made communication and understanding easier.

Would highly recommend Enrico Di Salvo and his team. Just completed a ReFi, complicated by two states distance and online only. Everything went off on schedule and on time. Great updates and follow-through. Very professional in all categories. Joe and Karen

Ryan Ross & Kara Poysky were always quick to respond to my questions & concerns. Their
Professionalism and empathy made an often stressful process less so!
I highly recommend this team and 1st Security Bank.

Brad and his staff are wonderful people and they find magical money and give it out to anybody who asks just as long as you own property. I suggest everyone go by and get free sodas out of the lobby and say hi to Lauri she can hold her breath for 3 minutes.

It's alway a pleasure working with Maryanne and her team. They are very professional and you always know exactly what you are getting from the beginning in such a complex transaction. I believe they are one of the best mortgage brokers to worked with. We have done over 10 refinancing with her and alway fully satisfied with the outcome.

1st Security made our home buying venture a pleasant experience. Barb Huber and staff are incredibly thorough and go through every detail with you and see it through to the very end. A nice touch they have is that they actually check up on you to make sure the process is stress free and if you have any questions. Real people. Real business. Our move from Texas to the PNW and the process of finding a home was less stressfull thanks to Barb and staff. She is well connected in this area and knows outstanding brokers that are just as great. Thank you so much Barb. We will never forget you and how you went the extra mile for us!

Robert took such great care of us! Not only did he deliver what I was asking for but he also went above and beyond by showing us better options than what I was thinking. Robert is quick to respond and does an excellent job breaking down our situation so I understood completely the path we chose. Robert and his teams ROCKS!

Lana Steele, was very helpful and answered all my questions quickly. Lana kept and touch for a few months and she made it easier my refinancing process. Lana Thanks for your support and help. keep up the good job.

Sennet did a great job securing the loan and helping us along the way to our new home. Hoping to do more business in the future with 1st Security Bank. Thanks again!

Prompt customer service and pleasant people! Very happy with my experience!

Very professional, yet easy to work with. Great communication from start to finish and we closed on time!!! We would highly recommend Alycia and her team at 1st security to friends and family. Scott and Rhonda

Ryan Ross and all staff were extremely helpful with our refinancing transaction. Very knowledgeable, accessable, and friendly. This recent transaction was as smooth as past transactions with Mr. Ross. Could not be any more pleased! Thank you!!

if I could give them less than 1 star then I would. worst experience I have ever had. I had chosen them because I had worked with the loan officer when I bought my first home. He worked for a different mortgage company. This entire experience has been a nightmare. My loan was just sold as of 7.1.17; I made the payment to my new mortgage company and today I find that 1st Security also took a payment from my checking account. I think a complaint to AG is the next step. Incompetence to the max.

Kim Stallcop at 1st Security Bank is AMAZING. We would never go to anyone else for a home loan. She is incredibly responsive, has so much experience and knowledge, and takes care of you from start to finish. With her, you feel like the loan process is EASY! We would highly recommend Kim to anyone and everyone looking for a home loan.

We could not have had a better experience refinancing our home with Tracy White & the whole team at 1st Security! She took the time to answer all our questions in a kind friendly manner & make sure we understood all our options. Communication was clear, prompt & professional every step of the way. Cannot recommend her & 1st Security in general highly enough!

Tracy White is an amazing mortgage broker. If you are looking for a solid recommendation, she is it. She is pleasant, wise, responsive, and just an overall great person to interact with.

I believe this is our 3rd or 4th time, using Ryan for our mortgage needs. He always makes it easy to ask questions and responds very quickly with the answers. Always willing to help look at our needs and provides plenty of options that would work for us. We never feel pushed into something we don't want. We will continue to seek out Ryan for our future needs.

Robert and his team (at the Everett office) were great to work with. I was really impressed with their work ethic, and will recommend this team to friends and family.

I've used them for a first home mortgage as well as a refi. Enrico is always very communicative, knowledgeable, and able to answer any questions. The level of service is exceptional.

Brad and his team were able to make the deal happen when others could not. Very professional and easy to work with. Thanks!

I've worked with Alycia Edmonds and her team since I bought my house, and her team at 1st Security for the past several years through two refi's. She has always offered high professional, personalized, fast, and excellent service, competitive rates, and ongoing management of my loan. I would recommend working with her and 1st Security without hesitation!

Caleb was wonderful to work with! Friendly, professional and easy to reach. We will absolutely be working with Caleb in the future!

Buy our first home with Caleb support was a really good experience. Caleb can give you all information you need in the fast possible way. All the process was fast and smooth. In a few years if I decided to move to another home I'll connect with Caleb again to be our lender for sure.

Working with Lisa Palmer and her team is a complete joy. The home lending process can be confusing and scary, but she makes it easy to understand and as painless as possible. She's very patient, a great communicator and a lovely individual. We've worked with her twice and would do it again.

I recommend Terence so highly. If you want someone who works to make your financing as good for you as possible, you ve come to the right place!

Ryan and the team were amazing!! They went above and beyond to help me buy my new home! There were many challenges, but they overcame each one with great skill and professionalism. Great job everyone!! Thank you once again!!

It was my first time buying a home and Enrico made the entire process easy to understand and helped immensely to educate me about the process and explore multiple options for my loan. I thought my biggest stress about buying my first home was the mortgage loan process and it ended up being the least stressful part of the purchase. I never went more than a couple of hours after leaving messages or emails in hearing back from him or his assistant and they proactively kept me up to date on where we were in the process and what next steps and timing would look like. Enrico was very easy to speak with and was extremely friendly. I would not hesitate to work with him on my next mortgage loan and would absolutely recommend him to friends, colleagues, and family.

Moved through the lending process quickly, much appreciated!

Ryan was awesome! He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions we had. I would highly reccomend Ryan to anyone! He is the type of person that puts his clients needs above all else. Thanks a ton for all your help!!!

We just completed the purchase of our home with Terence Fleischer, Loan officer for 1st Security Bank and it was a truly wonderful experience!
Terence was amazing and PERFECT. He knew exactly what we needed to know and even answered our questions before we could ask them. He provided a COMPLETE answer and solution at every step. After sitting down with him for 20 minutes, he pre-qualified us for our loan and even sent us away with a letter for the sellers to let them know 1st Security would stand behind us. His communication skills are excellent, his professionalism and expertise top notch and Terrence was the total reason we went with 1st Security. He made the whole process efficient, easy and completely painless. He is also a very nice guy!!!
You could not ask for a better person to work with and for you. We were totally happy with our choice of loan experts and you would be as well. Thank you Terence for helping make our dream come true.

Look no further if you're considering a mortgage lender for a purchase or refinance. Navigating the details of a refinance can seem like a daunting task... but you can trust you're in good hands with this team. I was fortunate to work with Caleb and he ensured I had the information I needed AND that I understood what the impacts were in each circumstance. Fantastic communication all around.

Got me financing for my first home it was so easy I love this place!

I have just closed on my first home loan process, through 1st Security Bank with Lisa Palmer as my loan officer. She was recommended by my daughter who also used her, and I cannot say enough about how supported I was with information, advice and reassurances throughout the entire process. I was never made to feel 'less than' in spite of being self-employed, with low income, and was able to purchase an adorable little home I am so excited to own. Thank you Lisa, Christie and your team!

Best banking experience I've ever had and i heard re-fi can be super stressful. it was easy no stress and so thorough and informative from beginning to end

This 1st Security Bank of WA branch is a first rate lending institution. The personnel on all levels treated me respectfully, were very kind and knowledgeable and ready to assist me immediately with all of my needs and questions throughout the entire buying process of my house. Their thoroughness and confidence in handling my transaction led me to be confident in them. I'm very pleased with the experience I had with them and the ultimate outcome. I strongly recommend this branch to anyone who needs their expertise. They are good people.

A huge shout out to Dexter and his team for helping us with our first home loan! Everyone was SO helpful and very responsive when we had questions, even on the weekends. They researched all options to help get us into our home. Thank you for making this process smooth.

The entire refinancing process was fast and simple. Alycia and her team were professional, efficient, and fun to work with. They were always available to answer my questions or clarify details. This is the second time I've worked with Alycia, and she will continue to be my go-to lender in the future. I've recommended her to my friends, family members, and anyone else who will listen. Thanks, Alycia!

Bill is amazing, he definitely goes the extra mile to help get the transaction completed, always very informative throughout the process,, I highly recommend bill Mcdonald !

Ryan and the 1st security team were exceptional in helping us get our house. Not only were they creative in helping us finance, which was the reason we were able to get our dream house, but they were also speedy and easy to get in touch with. Definitely recommend them to anyone.

I did a mortgage refinance and 1st Security was excellent to work with. A previous broker had dropped the ball and didn't communicate well, but 1st Security did a great job of working closely with me and was always quick to respond to my inquiries. I highly recommend them.

Great job by Mr. Sennet Curtis and his team getting us through this process of buying our first home. Mr. Curtis and his team were available and knowledgeable during the whole process and answered all of our questions no matter minute or crazy they were. Thank you Sennet Curtis and Team.

Lisa and her team have been excellent to work with. We felt fully supported in the very stressful home buying stages and highly recommend her services!

Great customer service, one the best loan officer I work with, professional and understanding of my needs, great team behind,
Make the all process the best refinance.

Was very helpful, throughout the whole process of refinancing. Was easy to reach with phone call.

Chris did an amazing job and helped me secure a very low rate for my rental property!

Fantastic customer service and great communication. We have used 1st Security Bank for our initial home purchase and a refinance. Highly recommend.

Alicia Edmonds and her team did a fantastic job to get our refinance completed. She is the best we have ever had. If you need to finance or refinance then you need her and her team. She closed us in less than a month. The process went smoothly and with no hiccup's. She is simply the best! !! You need to talk to her!!

LISA PALMER
My top real estate agent recommended I consult with Lisa and her staff even before we identified a specific property. During our one face to face consultation Lisa presented a successful strategy for me to obtain a mortgage, even though I am mostly retired and was based on the East Coast. We worked through the process via phone, email, and secure sites. In coordination with Lisa, I signed a contract to buy my choice condo, even before I sold my home condo. I highly recommend Lisa Palmer.

Had a great experience with Caleb Johns. He went above and beyond to close our deal. 100% would refer him and his 1st Security team to friends and family.

Thanks Caleb!!!

Rob and his team are some of the best lenders I have ever worked with! Highly recommend!

We closed on a home in less than 30 days thanks to those at 1st Security Bank, and Kara especially! They are open, amiable and honest, and really made a scary process into a smooth ride.

Crystal was amazing to work with. She was so detailed and didn't miss a thing. She worked very hard to get us into the right loan for our family. Can't recommend her enough!!!!

Ryan and his team were awesome to work with. Being a novice buying my first place it was nice to have some one to call, and walk me through questions that I had. He was friendly, professional, and it took little time to close on our place. If I ever had to buy another place, I would totally work with him again.

My Loan Officer Jim Campbell and his team(Erin Pryor, Kara Price) has been friendly, efficient and responsive throughout the whole process from the pre-approval letter to the final closing. As a foreigner whose fund mainly came from another country, I was probably a tricky buyer. They had to deal with documents in Chinese and in irregular format. But they have been patient and the communication was smooth. Thank you guys.

We recently purchased our second home with Enrico and we couldn't be happier. Enrico is extremely knowledgeable and honest - answered all our questions and address all of our concerns. Look forward to working with him again and highly recommend him to anyone

Lisa helped us with our first home purchase, and she was awesome! She was very efficient, communicative, and honest. We got a competetive rate on our loan and she helped us make a competetive offer on the house. Highly recommended!

If you are in the market for commercial lending talk to Marty Markey! She is AMAZING! Thanks for all your hard work!!

Caleb and Ali did a great job. They worked efficiently and really went the extra mile to get my deal done. I'd use this company again without hesitation. I highly recommend 1st Security to anyone who wants an honest, knowledgeable lender.

Had a great experience. They listened to what I was looking for, helped me find all my documents, and delivered! Professional and caring. This is the second time I have used Barb and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage or re-fi.

I have worked with Ryan Ross for 4 years and he has helped me refinance several properties. Once again the service and efficiency was top notch! I have and will continue to use and refer others to Ryan at First Security Bank.

Entire loan process went smoothly. Timeliness, attention to detail, professionalism, wealth of knowledge and advice, and the personal touch. Completed the process start to finish in a timely manner in spite of pandemic situation!
