I highly recommend Bell Bank and specifically Tom Shannon as your mortgage banker.”

“Working with Tim Erickson and his team on a recent purchase transaction reminded me why having the right lender matters so much. This was not a straightforward deal as we hit multiple hurdles along the way that could have easily derailed everything, but Tim never flinched.
His communication was consistent and clear throughout, even when things got complicated. He stayed calm when the pressure was on, worked through each obstacle methodically, and went above and beyond to make sure we made it to the closing table.
If you're looking for a lender who will fight for your clients and keep a deal alive when others might walk away, Tim Erickson at Luminate Bank is your person. I will be recommending him to my buyers.”
