I was trying to get a loan for a second residence on the Washington coast. My first contact was with Kendra, who walked me through the initial processes of my offer being accepted and locking in a rate. Kendra was so friendly and personable, and seemed to be genuinely rooting for me. My file was then passed on to Renee. Her initial email was very professional, almost intimidating, but subsequent emails were very friendly. Renee was in charge of getting all the needed documentation from me, and she was very clear in what was needed and kept me informed all along the way. There were a couple of "wet documents" (original signatures) that hade to be mailed in, and Renee was prompt in letting me know that they were received. When my file was passed on to processing, then underwriting, Renee always kept me in the loop. After more information was required by the underwriting team, my loan was approved!! Renee seemed almost as excited as I was! She made sure of my availability to sign documents for the title company, and stayed with me through the final processes.My final email was from Gary, the branch manager and senior mortgage specialist, asking for one final thing.The whole experience, from my initial email from Kendra to my final email from Renee, took less than a month. Everything except the "wet documents" was done online, so the company's proximity to my house was actually moot.Directors Mortgage made the intimidating experience of applying for a home loan sooo easy and painless that I hardly feel like I owe anybody anything . I would very highly recommend Directors Mortgage to anyone looking to finance a home. Super kudos to Kendra and Renee...they were fantastic to work with.Bonus - I got a very nice home tool kit from Directors Mortgage yesterday as their thank you for my business! Thank you! read less

Gary was absolutely amazing! He really wanted to understand our goals. Talk with Gary—you’ll see that he’s truly on your side!

Gary and his team are amazing! This was my first home buying experience and my husbands second.

Of course the house we wanted was considered "non-finance-able" and would be one of the most difficult loan processes out there (it was a foreclosure). Everybody kept telling me that buying a house was so stressful and to try not to get overwhelmed. I did the pre-approval process on the Director's website; super easy. The team did a great job of breaking everything down into small, manageable steps. There were definitely some hoops we had to jump through but with the teams constant communication and support, none of this seemed too difficult. We ended up having to actually sell our house before we could make an offer on the one we wanted, which was scary. However, I had complete confidence in Gary's team. As soon as our house was under contract, the team was off and hustling. We did have to stay in our camper for a week but with Gary's team on our side we were able to close on our dream house early. I never once felt stressed out or overwhelmed. Thank you to the entire team, especially Gary, Kendra and Renee!!! I will definitely but with you again. read less

After a great meeting with Gary, we decided to finally put things into action as we ended up finding our new home quicker than we thought. His entire team were efficient and had amazing communication which made the process that much smoother. Gary himself was always there to answer any question, big or small, at any time. We would recommend him and his entire team to anyone looking to get into a new home, or anything regarding home loans or refinancing. We can't say enough positive things about our experience! Thank you again Gary! Larry & Christine read less

Gary Boyer + his team are the best. We're first time homeowners, and Gary was incredibly responsive, thoughtful and kind through the whole process (even while he was out of the country!). We really appreciated his team and wouldn't hesitate to do business with him again.

This is the 2nd home he has helped us buy and the common experience we had both times was that he was incredibly knowledgeable, very responsive, and most of all caring of our situation and experiences. His genuine desire to consistently do the right thing for his customers is pretty remarkable... and it's no different today than it was 8 years ago. I know that Gary's business has grown leaps and bounds since the first time he helped us, but he gave us the same level of personalized service in 2017 as we received in 2008. Gary is a class act and I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy a house! read less

When the time was right, we started looking for a new pond to live in, and contacted a mortgage broker. They were terrible, feeding us the standard bait (and switch!) and completely unable to back up their promises. Then, after we dumped them and got over feeling sorry for ourselves, we did a lot of research which led us to Gary Boyer. Don't let the nickname "Mortgage Monkey" mislead you, this man is not monkeying around at all. One of us being self-employed always complicates everything we try to do, but in this case, there was nothing to worry about. He and his team changed our perception of getting a home loan for the better. From application to closing, Gary and his team handled everything for us, and almost did it too well! From previous experiences, we were expecting phone calls, push-back, strange requests for things, and other delays. But, before we really knew what was going on, we were closing on our home! The weird West Coast "dry" close thing aside, this was a wonderful experience. Gary gently put us back into the water and even sent us an unexpected housewarming gift. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Gary Boyer and the entire Directors Mortgage team. Thank you so much and we will definitely be coming back to you when we wish to swim the stream and find a new pond in which to call home. read less

Gary and his team were incredibly helpful, communicative and informative, every step of the way. Even though we encountered a few unforeseen difficulties throughout our financing process, and Gary and Kendra were unwavering in their help and encouragement, and got everything pushed through on time. Highly recommend.

The process took MUCH longer than expected because of building delays but Gary Boyer and his team at Directors Mortgage walked us through the entire process smoothly, clearly, and very professionally. They had to gather some of our information again because too much time had passed and were patient and explained everything along the way for us. We cannot say enough how happy we are that Gary and Directors Mortgage was who we worked with and we will most certainly recommend them to anyone looking for Mortgage services. Thank you so much for all the work you put in and help you gave getting us into our home. read less

Based on his Yelp reviews, I contacted Gary on a weekend via email. Not only did he respond on the weekend, but he followed up first thing Monday, and by about Wednesday, after reviewing my needs and current mortgage, he suggested that the best thing for me to do was to get a HELOC from Key Bank rather than spending a lot of money on a refinance. It is this kind of honesty and sincerity that makes me believe in people. Thanks, Gary. Your recommendation of Ashley at Key Bank was great - she is very fast and professional. I'd refer you to any friend or neighbor for an honest quote. read less

Gary Boyer and his team made what could have been a nail-biting process - moving from ATX to PDX - smooth, fast, and even fun!The longer version? The brave and intrepid Gary Boyer and his brilliant team were recommended to me by Deb Counts-Tabor, our buyer's agent. We were planning a move from Austin, Texas to Portland, Oregon, and not only needed financing, we needed someone who knew the market, and who could provide insight as well as help us find the financing we needed.It was no small thing for Gary and his team (special shout-out to calm and gracious Kendra) to actually make this slightly OCD worry-wart feel assured and comfortable while lining up funding, sharing his insights into the market, and just plain doing a brilliant job of making this the most pleasant, smooth, and (dare I say it?) fun experience imaginable. If you are looking for a mortgage broker in Portland, call him!!! read less

Gary was so honest and helpful, he actually gave the the straight scoop and talked himself out of a commission because he said refinancing might not be the best option for me.

Gary Boyer and his team are awesome! He really cares about his clients. Besides Gary being a great guy, he knows what he's doing. It's so nice to be confident in your lender and also like working with him.I would recommend him for sure!

He was friendly and frank with us about how to tune up our credit rating and where we stood financially. I felt confident that he always had things handled on his end of the deal. And he was always responsive and willing to answer any questions we had. And I had a lot of questions! Things went a little haywire with our lender on closing day, but Gary had the situation in hand and got everything handled first thing the next morning. We closed, we moved in, everything is golden. Plus he got us a better interest rate than I expected. I highly recommend Gary, without hesitation. read less

Although he wasn't able to help us as we did not match each other's criteria, he was very professional and courteous on the phone and would have been great to work with. I usually only write reviews for places or people I have received service from but sometimes there is someone who leaves an impression on me and he was one of them! Surprisingly we also have the same last name! read less
