Closed refinance loan.
I had a great experience refinancing with Paul Gowan and Willamette Falls Financial. They were very responsive every time I had a question. As part of the process we discovered a serious error on our credit report and Paul and Jaime worked with us to get it fixed. I would definitely use them again and refer a friend.

I engaged most of the online mortgage companies and felt that I was not getting the best deal and then by chance ran across Paul & Willamette Falls' note in Zillow that had lower rates than the national online companies. Paul came through with a rate that was 0.25 less and got it done with no hassle or problem.

Paul and his processor Jaime were very thorough and timely in there responses. This was our second refi in two years..My previous experience was good (another broker) but I would say Williamette Falls was more professional. The rate was competetive for a 30 year fixed and I would recommend Paul and his team for any of your mortgage related needs.One thing I would say underwriters have become even more stringent in there requirements over the last two years making Pauls job even more demanding! pc and mc.

Great experience with a refi on a low-moderate priced home. I was mortgage shy after a terrible experience with the FHA loan I had used to purchase my home. However, when I realized a refi would be really good for me financially, I cautiously decided to explore it. Paul got me great quotes right away and explained everything really thoroughly. There were no unpleasant surprises throughout the process. Everything that was asked of me was very reasonable and I never felt interrogated or accused of anything, which happened before, given my responsible, but sometimes unconventional, financial management practices. Would highly recommend and/or use again.

Our family has done multiple transactions with Paul including Jumbo, Non Jumbo, and second home financial needs. I was in this business many years ago so I am specific about what I want in an advisor, he is right on the money. Never pushy, always looks at each transaction individually, and clearly has a good network around him. Highly recommend.

Was pre-approved. Warrior, AL
Paul is a very helpful mortgage planner and lender. He always respond my emails and calls very quickly, answer my questions thoroughly and promptly, even during the weekend. My particular experience of working with Paul has been very pleasant as he is always there and ready to help. Prior to working with Paul, I had worked with several other lenders, but failed to get mortgage because of my low credit score. But Paul managed to help me out and get me pre-approved. I was in a situation where I have to get all the financial details put together to make an offer within a couple of days during the weekend. Paul provided everything I need including the documents and answers very quickly, and I was eventually able to send in the offer earlier than I had expected.

In a word, I'd describe Paul Gowen's work and service as "Exceptional". I have purchased several homes and re-financed a number of times thoughout the years, and I can honestly say that after working with Paul, that I will never even consider working with anyone else again. Paul was referred to me from a friend, and I first called him a couple years ago for a re-finance. His knowledge of the market and his service was thorough and professional. I called him again this year, as I was buying another home, and his service and follow through were phenominal. Paul and his assistant handled all of the details, and they made the process quick and easy for me! Paul always picks up his phone when I call, and he takes the necessary time to provide thorough explanations and asnswers all questions... I never once felt rushed or that I was bothering him with my questions. I should also note that I've been very impressed with Paul's knowledge and instincts about the market. He gave great advice and he timed the market beautifully in order to get me the lowest possible interest rate. In every transaction that I've done with Paul, he has been professional, thorough, patient and has made the process easy for me while also ensuring that we locked in the best rates. I now consider Paul Gowen not only the best mortgage broker I've ever worked with, but I also think of him as a friend!

Closed refinance loan.
We've had four loans with Paul Gowen, and each has been a great experience. He helps us choose the best plan for us by showing the pros and cons of each option. Everyone we deal with at Willamette Falls Financial is equally professional and courteous. Paul definitely makes you feel like a valued customer. You can shop your loan around, but I bet you'll be back to Paul Gowen in the end.

My husband and I worked on with Paul to procure a VA loan. We were in a spot because we were currently staying in temp housing and wanted to close as soon as possible. The process went perfectly! We closed in a short 30 days. The team of support Paul has is wonderful too. Paul is extremely knowlegable and intricately versed in the subtly nuances and intricacies of the process. His experience shows in the no nonsense but extremely friendly way he conducts business. I highly reccommend Paul and his services to all!

Having moved into the Portland Area in 1996, I've had the good fortune to have bought, and sold 3 homes in working with Paul and Willamette Falls Financial during that period.

His knowledge of the industry is second to none, and his ability to assist through these uncertain times has helped us immensely.

I'd "HIGHLY" recommend WFF and Paul Gowen to anyone looking for help in sourcing a mortgage today...
