My fiance and I were first-time homebuyers and the market was highly competitive. Our personalities lean towards not making significant decisions quickly, but that is exactly what we needed to do in this market. Working with Own Up and their willingness to run loan scenarios and talk through things every week really helped ease our anxiety when making offers on homes. We felt like our advisor, Matt Jacobson, was our biggest cheerleader. He got to know us and got excited when we would find listings we were interested in. He was quick to respond and was very communicative. He would let us know if there was a day he was unavailable and provided us with an alternate contact. Everyone who covered for him was also very helpful and responsive. The Own Up online portal to create pre-approval letters really helped us put together offers quickly. Not only was our advisor incredibly supportive but Own Up connected us to our realtor and helped us lock in a competitive rate with a lender who was very easy to work with. We did shop around, but the lender they recommended was the best offer. They closed our loan quickly and we are very excited to be moving into our new home.

Ryan Pugh was very helpful in finding us a solution for getting out of our 1st mortgage that was locked in at a very high rate due to an extremely volatile interest market when we were closing. We were able to refinance, locking in a new rate for 1.25% lower than when we had closed two months before. This is saving us $200/ month on our mortgage and we are very happy. The process took a little over 30 days and was very simple. Thank you.

I appreciate Ryan setting us with Allied! The process was simple and easy. I liked how the fees and rates were up front. We closed on our new house a the beginning of the month.

Own Up made the whole process of selecting a lender and applying for a mortgage on our new home purchase simple, easy and understandable. Everything worked smoothly in getting all the documents together digitally and uploading them to the lender to meet our closing date in January 2024. The rate, fees and points from the Own Up lender (mutual of Omaha) were well below what we could get from other lenders, like the major banks and local mortgage brokers in Washington state. We saved several thousand dollars on fees and the thirty-year mortgage annual interest rate was 0.625% less than the other lenders quoted us. The title company was also easy to work with.

Gave me exactly the info I needed without asking for any payment. Amazing service for finding a home loan!

Own Up did exactly what they advertised. They found us a better rate than we could find and as a result we are saving money every month. Would recommend to anyone.

I am a first-time home buyer who was really nervous about this entire process and was unsure of where to start from. Jenn was assigned as an advisor once I signed-up on the website and what an incredible support system she is! Own up made this entire process very simple as they have tie-ups with other relevant parties to make this transaction happen. During my first call with Jenn, I had a lot of questions and doubts which Jenn handled patiently and provided all the necessary information I needed. My entire process from search to closure was completed roughly in two months. Thanks to the Own Up team and to Jenn specifically for her unending support and guidance along the way.

I am so glad my best friend recommended ownup to me. I think this is one of the best financial decisions I have ever made. Both Brenna at Ownup and Danny at Simpler Home Loans were extremely helpful. I loved how they both answered all my questions and broke down the lending process as well as helped me save a lot of money by getting the best interest rate for my mortgage. Even my realtor who initially recommended the local lender she is familiar with, commented on how great Simplier was to work with.
