Blake Bogese - Mortgage Loan Officer W Broad St, Richmond

Blake is the most knowledgeable person in the realm of lending!! This is our second time utilizing Blake to buy a home! We knew after the first experience that if we ever bought a home in Virginia again that Blake would be the only person we trusted to help us because we knew he is second to none when it comes to being a mortgage lender! He also has the best contacts for home improvement loans, homeowners insurance, and basically anything else you might need buying a home! Being military moving a lot things get crazy, but Blake twice now has made sure our home buying process was stress free and an easy process. He is smart, respectful, and has the best work ethic around. Very rarely does he not know an answer to your question but if for some reason he doesn’t he makes sure within the hour he has the answer for you. He always is on top of rate percentages and will ensure you get the best rate possible. If you’re not using Blake as your lender, you aren’t serious about getting the best of the best for your home buying experience!

Blake and his team were awesome to work with!! He lays everything out very clearly and makes sure you understand everything happening during the entire process. The videos he would put together were great and very helpful!

Blake is THE best! I used him to purchase my first home. I was completely unfamiliar with the process and Blake patiently answered all my questions. He even made a visual chart so that I could understand better because he knew I’m better with seeing things right in front of me! He’s always there to answer any calls and questions. Even after I closed on my house I have spoken to Blake numerous times and he’s always been helpful and provided me with guidance. Blake is very down to earth and truly cares about all his clients. I definitely intend to use Blake and his team whenever I move again and recommend him to everyone I know looking for a lender!

Blake helped me refinance my mortgage at what turned out to be an optimal time for me. Blake was friendly, prompt, and thorough. He customized a tutorial video for me that laid out my options and explained every detail. I really appreciated that because it gave me the opportunity to play back sections and fully absorb all of the information. Blake made the decision making process easy - but he made the application and approval even easier! I pushed this off just because I dreaded the process and Blake made me wonder why I waited! I am saving so much money in principal and interest over the course of my loan and was even able to walk away with money in my pocket! Blake was refreshingly honest and candid with me. I cannot say enough about Blake and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone!

Blake has helped me twice now - on a home purchase and a refinance. Each time has been seamless with no delays or complications. Blake is particularly fantastic because he is able to give you the full picture, and then provide honest advice on what route benefits you the most personally. He is a fantastic resource throughout the entire process and is an overall great communicator. I highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity!

Very professional and friendly service. Extremely informative and helpful in explaining things my wife and I were unsure of. They were there throughout the entire process. Quick response time along the way. Blake conducted our mortgage on buying the house a couple of years ago, and we recently refinanced with Blake and Tim. Awesome work and and trustworthy services. Thank you

Blake is very professional and thorough with his service. He explains in detail how he gets the numbers, figures out the best option for your situation, and genuinely wants the best offer for you. He helped me from day one of my home buying journey and recommended me great people to help me along the way with other services. His team is also very great: responds to emails fast, knowledgeable about the business, organized, and very kind. The weekly email updates were very appreciated! I will always go to him when I need any sort of mortgage loan services and recommend him and his team to anyone wanting to refinance, buy, or in need of any mortgage finance services.

Blake and his team provided excellent support in helping us purchase our first home. They were always prompt in answering questions via email and phone and the personal attention we received was top notch. I felt very well-educated throughout the process as well, as Blake and Tim often shared video tutorials to help explain the ins and outs of all the paperwork and requirements, which I was able to access on my own time. I believe they helped us secure a very competitive rate and made the buying process seem easy, even as a first time home buyer. I highly recommend using his team!

I have completed other mortgage processes in the past, and my experience with Blake exceeded them in every way. He has a deep understanding of how the mortgage markets function, and this allowed him to provide excellent advice to get us a great rate. He was prompt, professional, and transparent throughout the process. I can’t say enough good things, and I encourage anyone pursuing a mortgage to give him a call.

In a tough market, Blake made the process easy and he is very knowledgeable and I consider him an expert in this field. He made himself available, was very quick to respond via text or email to any questions we had.

Blake was responsive, transparent, and informative throughout the entire process. He made me feel supported and was a pleasure to work with!

Blake came highly recommended and he did not disappoint. He took the time to understand our particular situation (short term home buyer) and provided some great advice. He showed us different options and the pros/cons of each scenario. I highly recommend Blake and his associates for your next home buying experience!

Blake (and his partner Tim) worked with me for 9 months during the construction of my new home. From mortgage pre-approval through closing, he was always responsive and never made me feel like I was bothering him. In our conversations, he was personable and always willing to educate me on the process we were about to execute. Great mortgage guy, but even better person.

My wife and I worked with Blake and his team for the purchase of our home and the subsequent refinancing process, and they were excellent both times! They are professional and made themselves available whenever needed. Blake handled our business as if it were his own and took the time to get to know us and understand our situation. Our refinance process was noteworthy for the speed and fair pricing - about 3 weeks from our first conversation to closing, with the fee on par or lower when compared to other brokers' quotes. I'd highly recommend for any home purchase or refinance needs.

Blake made the process of refinancing our home very easy. He is a great communicator, very professional and got us a great rate! We appreciated how detailed Blake was throughout the process, he made sure we understood everything. It was a fantastic experience.
