Jeff was exceptional to work with in the process of finding a loan that worked for us. He will take the time to explain market conditions, the benefits and drawbacks to different loan lengths and types. After working with a few other loan folks, I appreciate working with Jeff and his direct, straightforward, and friendly approach to lending. I recommend him to friends anytime they are looking at getting a loan, and don’t think you could find a better person to help you through the process of getting a loan.

Jeff was incredibly helpful as a first time homebuyer. He took the time to explain everything that was going on and worked to get us the best rate!

From the beginning Jeff has been very helpful and timely. Being a first time home buyer, I had a lot of questions and they were answered where anyone could easily understand. Through out this process Jeff has made great effort to streamline and eliminate any "scary" moments. I am grateful for Jeff's excellent customer service, it was more than just a transaction. He really fought for better deals on my end. Thanks again! Highly recommend anyone to contact Jeff if they have questions!

Jeff and Megastar Financial were a fabulous team in assisting us in our most recent transaction. From the get go, he was responsive and informative in providing us with hypothetical numbers and options with selling our current home and/or keeping it as a rental and how that would effect the loan for our new home purchase. He felt like an old family friend who was rooting for us and invested in ensuring the best possible outcome for our little family. If you want a lender who is honest and makes the process seamless then go with Megastar Financial and Jeff!

Working with Jeff was such an easy and streamlined process. We are first time home buyers and Jeff took the time to walk us through all the steps and answered all our questions. He is really there on your side the entire way through the loan process. After having been referred to Jeff from a coworker I can see why. Deserves all the 5 star reviews. Thanks Jeff.

It felt like Jeff was invested in us from day one. Rooting for us all along the way. He was responsive, helpful and honest in providing us with all our potential options (we were also selling a home and debating on keeping it as a rental) he took the time to provide us numbers for both scenarios. He even took time to answer questions from my MIL :) He made the process seamless, ensuring that our new home closed and we received keys immediately after our other home sale closed (3 day gap). Jeff was recommended to us after a blah experience during a refi with a different lender and I am so glad he was.

As first time home buyers finding a house we liked and writing an offer was challenging. Jeff helped us work through our options and structure our mortgage the way we needed in order to qualify for homes in our desired area. Jeff was very responsive throughout the process and even adjusted our pre-approval letter while bidding on the house we ultimately closed on. In the time we were searching mortgage interest rates changed on a daily basis and Jeff helped us strategize around that and give updates on how that would affect our loan terms.Jeff was referred to me by a real estate agent friend and I would happily refer him to anyone looking to buy in the Seattle area. In our competitive market I found that lenders have a lot of power in how transactions play out. Jeff was more than willing to guide us throughout our journey. He was very responsive to our questions and always willing to take a few minutes to discuss our options at each stage of the process.

Jeff was amazing to work with. He was constantly very informative and helped us not only get the best possible interest rate to benefit us, but also provided valuable financial advice to help us set up a reasonable budget for our family. Whether a first time home buyer or not, Jeff is the ideal person to help you through the mortgage process. Highly recommend!

I cannot speak highly enough of Jeff Johnson's level of service, commitment and all around problem solving abilities that he exhibited during a rather exhaustive house hunt that lasted nearly two years, spanned multiple counties across Washington State, and covered a variety of properties that presented unique (and at times unusual) sets of hurdles.Whether we were looking at government leaseholds, reservation owned land, properties abutting railroads, off-grid homes, homes without sewer/septic installed, properties with private bridges, properties in flood zones, co-borrower situations, 203(k) rehabs, tiny homes, escrow holdbacks or homes that were difficult to find comps for: he was not only able to handle every scenario I threw his way, but he took the time and patience to research and advise me on these various unique circumstances.It's worth noting that these were not high-price-point homes which just further gives credit to his resolute, selfless and altruistic efforts to get us into the right home for us! Jeff will be my first point of contact for any future mortgage needs and he will be who I send my friends to.

We felt so lucky to have Jeff on our team! He was friendly and incredibly helpful- called me on day one to kindly explain the home buying process to me and get my take on things (first time homebuyer here). He consistently went above and beyond, was super responsive, and really captained the ship as we went through a roller coaster experience. I could tell he cared about us and how much we love our home. We had an amazing experience working with Jeff!

Reid my broker referred me to Jeff and never worked with him before I was surprisingly shocked how knowledgeable he is. He turned a first time buyer experience to one that I will always remember. He went out of his way to inform me and is not your typical lender where they disappear. Even on his PTO he responded to my emails promptly. Always gave me accurate information that I cross reference as an added precaution. I would recommend any one that has concerns on getting approvals for any loan to work with Jeff and Reid Roberts. Great guys and I consider family. Definitely recommend.

Saying we had a great experience with Jeff would be an understatement. From the first call we had with Jeff to closing we were impressed by his knowledge, patience, and due diligence. As first time homebuyers we were not only novice but nervous; which translated into lots of questions and even hesitance in making certain decisions. But Jeff was always there for us with information that helped us throughout the process. We took over a year looking for our first house due to market conditions and being outbid by others. And every time we found a house we liked, Jeff was right on top of it, running numbers for us and providing us with the information to help put down the right terms in the offer, etc. He never pushes anything on you; at the same time he's more than happy to answer your 10 questions to help you make an informed decisions.What really impressed me about Jeff is his bias for action and being always "on". We would tell our realtor about a house we liked on a Saturday night, and Jeff be helping us with the numbers that same night! When we finally got an offer accepted, we ran into some hiccups with the seller that would've threatened the deal from a loan perspective. But Jeff handled it beautifully and went above and beyond to make sure the loan didn't get affected. We highly recommend Jeff and hope to work with him again in the future.

I found Jeff from searching reviews on Yelp. I noted the many, excellent reviews left by people for Jeff Johnson and decided to contact Jeff for a inquiry on obtaining a mortgage.Jeff response to my inquiry and the analysis that he provided to me of several mortgage options including a recommended one (based on my unique situation) far exceeded my expectations which were already high based on all of the excellent reviews that are here on Yelp.Jeff was prompt, thorough and extremely knowledgable about mortgages and also about the economic drivers of Mortgage rates and how they could be changing in the future. Our interactions in exploring the various choices felt more like a "Partnership" relationship than a "Broker" relationship.I did not move forward yet with a new home purchase. I look forward to working with Jeff on obtaining the right financing for when I do pull the trigger on my next home purchase. Its very comforting knowing that once I identify the appropriate piece of Real Estate to purchase I have the capable and trustworthy partner to obtain the best financingmortgage solution for my needs.Do yourself a favor - if you are thinking about financing for a new home or refinancing contact Jeff and give him a try - I think you will be very satisfied with the results.

I worked with Jeff for my first ever home about half a year ago and was overall satisfied with the experience I had. He was very quick at responding to my emails and the responses were to the point. We even closed several days earlier than the plan, which saved me from the unnecessary stress/headache. I would recommend Jeff for your mortgage application.
