Mike was absolutely fantastic! He offered a way better rate than my bank with total transparency. Throughout the entire process, he was honest and straightforward. Mike helped us through the process. I’m extremely happy with both Mike and Rate’s service. Not only is he great at what he does, but easy to work with and available. Highly recommend!

Great service and worked very quickly!

Mike is the best! He straight up gave me the best rate without any games. He was completely honest throughout the process. I really didn’t think we could get our loan done as quickly as Mike did! No hiccups, just follow through to get it done. Very happy with Mike and Rate’s service. Not only is he good at what he does but he’s a super nice guy! Would highly recommend!

Thank you so much for the kind words Ron! I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure working with you, and I’m so glad we were able to get everything done smoothly and quickly. I’m always here if you ever need anything in the future — and thank you again for the trust and recommendation!
Mike Lowe went above and beyond to make my dream home a reality! He is patient, considerate, and knowledgeable. He listens well and is responsive. Working with him felt less like a transaction and more like friendship. I plan to recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home.
Michael has been a great communicator and was always available to answer any of my questions or concerns. I've already referred one my work colleagues!
The loan was done in record time
Mike Lowe and Katie Gantz at Caliber made my re-fi experience easy by keeping me informed every step of the way and always being available to discuss any of my questions or concerns. I was extremely satisfied with their professional but friendly manner and overall excellent service. I highly recommend Caliber!
Mike does a great job!
Proactive transparent communication.
It was a very easy process. Although the current situation with Covid 19 the process still moved along at a steady pace. We were very pleased with the quality of service we received and would definitely recommend Caliber to friends and family.
Mike was great to work with. He responded quickly to all of my questions and provided clear guidance through the whole refinancing process.
Mike was great throughout the whole refinancing process! We appreciate everything he has done.
Thanks for taking the time to help me get the lowest rate and answering my questions so quickly!
Mike is always willing to work with the us until we are happy, he is also honest about his opinion! Mike also is very quick to answer any questions we have!! Thanks Mike again for the great experience!!
Professional, caring, responsive, and a pleasure to work with.
Mike has always been our guy! Great person, knows his stuff and takes care of his clients.
We worked with Mike to purchase our house in 2007, and have gone back to him for three refinances as rates have dropped over the years. He gave us a lot of options, and crunched the numbers to make sure we understood the whole loan. The loans he got for us were straightforward because that was what we wanted: basic 30-year fixed, no hidden payments, no prepayment penalties, etc. He is very responsive, and is good about monitoring his clients’ rates, to let them know when it might be worthwhile to consider a refinance. He sends a newsletter several times a year with tidbits of helpful advice for homeowners. He has great people working for him as well. He was recommended to us by a coworker, and we in turn have recommended him to several others.
Mike and the whole Cobalt team made the buying process a pleasure. From the outset we had confidence to go in search of our ideal home, and Mike's advice helped us think out-of-the-box when it came to some of our key decisions. The underwriting and loan process was equally professional. The requests were timely as were our replies, and it went smoother than any previous home we've owned. Great company, great team, just can't say enough positive. Thanks!
I would highly recommend Mike Lowe and his processor Jessica Thornhill. I recently was involved in a purchase transaction and THANKS to Mike it went extremely smooth despite a couple of quirks along the way. He is very thorough, asks the right questions in order to acheive the best result for you, and his follow up compares to none I've ever worked with! He and Jessica gave 110% and I felt like I was their only client, even though I knew he was very busy. If you need a loan - the ONLY person I'd recommend is Mike!
Mike has handled multiple transactions for me over the years and each one has gone smoothly. Mike provides excellent client service. I always knew where I was at with my transaction and he identified and solved any issues that came up. I would highly recommend Mike's services and would definitely use him again in the future.
Mike and his assistant, Jessica, are an amazing team! Mike never had a doubt that we would be able to get the loan (and home) we were looking for. Our situation was a little tricky since we were dealing with the VA and Sound Transit, but Mike was able to communicate with all parties, and we were even able to close early which pleased us and the sellers. Mike and Jessica are extremely responsive and followed through on every question, request, email and phone call. Even when we were unsure of next steps, Mike reached out to Sound Transit to make sure they were aligned with our wants and needs. Jessica set up a weekly email that recapped what had been done and what was still needed all the way until our loan closed. I highly recommend Mike Lowe and the Cobalt Team.
Mike Lowe is an experienced pro with skills to handle any mortgage situation. He has a great depth of knowledge of both finanancial markets and real estate value. He is a problem solver. Mike is able to create a loan process where all parties are integrated into a seemless transaction.
I've worked with Mike for over 20 years and every experience has been awesome. He's professional, friendly, and honest. Our refinance went smoothly and quickly and Mike was there to help and answer questions every step of the way.I highly recommend him.
This was our 5th Loan with Mike. The real estate market was very competitive so he suggested getting us fully approved prior to looking at homes which we did. We found a great house and because we were able to close quickly due to being approved our offer was accepted over higher offers. He is always responsive and delivered on everything he said. Mike is a great choice!
Mike and his team were fabulous to work with. We’ve used his team twice now for homes in Oregon. While I have yet to meet him face-to-face, he was always available via phone, email, and text with the information I needed. He provided a wealth of numbers and details so we could do our own exploration and number crunching. In both transactions, his team moved super quickly and performed closes in less time than normally needed. Friendly, committed, courteous, and thorough are the words I used to explain his approach and quality of work.
Mike and the talented professionals in his work group at Caliber Loans provided exceptional high quality service. They assisted me through all steps of the process, taking away the uncertainty and stress I had anticipated in a loan process. I will be a repeat customer and recommend Mike to my friends and family.
The best experience imaginable — Mike was just what we needed — personable, professional and helpful. We plan to use him again for all our property financing needs.
We've used Caliber since our fist home purchase back in 2009. Since then, we've refinanced with them, sold and bought a new home. Mike at Caliber is always available for questions and very responsive. We had a choice of lenders when purchasing our new home, we didn't hesitate and chose Caliber. Great service.
Very friendly and timely! Great communication. Replied very soon with inquiries we had. Helped update us frequently. Always had valuable information to share.
Mike made sure that we received all the paperwork and notifications for the process of purchasing our home. Mike was able to answer all of our questions.
My husband and I have been with Mike Lowe for 20 years!! We go only to Mike for all refi’s, new purchases and any market questions and also we became good friends over the years. Mike is the only lender we trust - he watches our mortgage and the rates and always reaches out proactively to discuss potential refi’s- great customer service!!!!!
Mike kept me informed throughout the transaction on the status of the loan. There were no surprises and he was ready to close ahead of schedule.
Experience and talent go a long way. Add in the accurate and prompt communication and you have a great team to help you navigate the home-buying/loan process. Timing is everything in a competitive market and these folks will deliver.
Mike Lowe is on it! I mean down to every last detail, and well in advance of any deadlines. His communication is a 10+/10, and consistently updated everyone weekly like clockwork. Thanks Mike!
I what informed about what was happening next ands Mike answered any questions quickly. Mike is very easy to talk with!
Good communication. We gave Mike some pretty stringent requirements and he met them. This is the second or third home loan we've worked with Mike on. We trust him and he always does a great job for us. When we get out next house, Mike will be our first call
Don't make this required. I'm not going to write anything here.
Mike was very cummunicative throughout the process. I was not familiar with Movement Mortgage and Mike put both me and the listing agent at ease about their process. MANY thanks for a smooth transaction!
Great guy!
quick, efficient, and thorough.
Mike is the best to work with!
Mike understood our complex finances. This is the third time we’ve used him to buy a home, and we switched to Movement specifically to get Mike’s assistance.
I appreciate the promptness of Mike and his team. They made the refinance process quick and easy and I felt confident in the services the team were providing me through the entire process. I will definitely recommend Mike to my friends and family!
Mike is always helpful and answers questions when he can but finds answers when he can't. I appreciate his willingness to get on the phone and talk us through our questions. He is also just a nice guy. His team is also very helpful, responsive and understanding when we take longer to get information together than expected. Overall they have always been very great to work with.
Mike Lowe has been our Mortgage Broker for well over 20 years (yes we follow him) he is a friend and I trust his opinion and direction for all my questions - He is like the Dr for my mortgage - he always has a great plan and adjusts as life throws curves . Thanks Mike for all you do!!!
Just an all around smooth experience, thanks again!
Professional and fast. No last minute scramble to gather details.
It was easy
