What People are Saying

I had been working with another lender for several months and it had turned into an extremely frustrating and stressful ordeal. My sister recommended Eagle River Mortgage. I found them to be helpful, professional and courteous -- and my loan closed in less than two weeks. In addition to getting a good interest rate for me, they arranged to have some of my equity included in my mortgage, which allowed me to pay off other debts and still end up with a lower payment. They are amazing! I intend to recommend them to everyone I know who buys or refinances a house. Thank you again for making this such a pleasant and beneficial experience.
