Synergy One Lending Sw 72nd Ave, Portland

This was our first time buying a home. While the overall process was daunting, Todd went above and beyond to ensure we were informed and supported throughout the journey. Todd stands out with his communication and approachability. I would strongly recommend him to other borrowers without hesitation. I couldn’t be happier with the speed and smoothness of the process. Thank you Todd!

I worked with Todd Mapes. He was generous with his time on weekends and over holidays, and he called listing agents on my behalf after sending an offer letter. Closing speed was top notch. Felt a tad pushy after my close date was pushed out for repairs, but overall, I always knew Todd had my back.

I have worked with Cody Marsh for two separate loans/properties (purchase and refi) and have had extremely stellar experiences. Cody informs me in clear and concise ways, communicates during the entire process and makes the experience enjoyable and as easy as he can make it. He is always available for a text, call or email which enables me to clear up any questions I may have. Thank you Cody! You are referred by me all the time.

We have worked with Jay & his team at Synergy for our first home purchase, and now two refinances and each time the process has been quick & seamless! He truly cares about each of his clients and makes sure you are getting what you need along the way. The team are communicative & efficient and honestly make the lending process a complete breeze! Highly recommend and we'll be back again!

I got every question answered very quickly by Cody Marsh. He is very good at what he does and holds a lot of information. I don’t know where we would be without his help with everything. We thank him soooo much for all he has done for us!

Cody was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He made himself available for any questions we had and never made us feel stupid when we didn’t understand something. We would highly recommend working with him.

Jay Jaffee has the ability to close loans at speeds others only dream of. We recently completed our loan with Jay and he and his team clearly communicated expectations along the way, from documentation needed to expected timelines. All of that attention to detail led to our loan closing on the aggressive date we had targeted. I would highly recommend Jay!

Sam was so incredibly easy and fun to work with! She walked us through every step of the process and was very responsive and proactive with communication. We probably had her 'run all the numbers' on a million houses and she was always happy to help. We will be forever grateful for her support while buying our first home! Thanks Sam and Synergy One!

We are first time home buyers so this process was very confusing for us and stressful. Working with Todd Mapes made it so easy! He was always there no matter the day or time to answer questions and got everything done very quickly! I highly recommend working with Todd on your home loan! He goes above and beyond!

Samantha helped my family buy our first home, with a low rate VA loan. One year later she helped us refinance to an even more amazing rate. Super friendly and knowledgeable, will recommend to anyone I know that is buying a home.

Todd Mapes at Synergy One Lending should be your "go-to" guy when you need a home loan. I had a great experience. The Synergy One app was also very useful for communication and information on the loan process.

In a weird way I am sad that my home buying journey is over because that means I wont get to work with Jay as much. At every step of the process Jay was on the ball. He over delivered and set a high bar for himself with my transaction. The pre-approval process was great, the pre-approval letters were quick and personal, the transaction was a breeze. Looking forward to buying my next home so I can work with Jay again.

First time mortgage shopper here and Jay managed to get me from offer to closing in just 15 days, which I've since learned is pretty much breakneck speed for mortgages. Jay and his team were very friendly and had excellent communication throughout the entire loan process. I received a level of transparency and candor from Jay that I would never have expected from a lender. I can recommend Jay to anyone looking for financing.

Jay and his team at Synergy One Lending are the best. Jay sits you down and shows you what he can do. No hidden figures, no surprises. This is my first mortgage and they made it a piece of cake. Anyone who says getting a mortgage is difficult hasn't used Jay!

Stef Simmons has been my loan officer twice now. Both my original loan and my refi were during stressful times in my life and Stef was such a calming influence. I am a bit high strung ….especially when I am stressing and she always understood and was patient and reassuring. Stef always responded promptly to all communications, even after hours or weekends. I was amazed because that is rare these days.

Henry gave me a secure feeling through the entire process, as anything to do with money scares me!! Especially given this most important purchase, he was kind, supportive and encouraging at every step. I HIGHLY recommend him for your next mortgage! Sharon

I've done a number of loans with Jay's team. Most recently, Jay and team helped me with a new home loan plus a refinance of an investment home. Buying a new home is always an exciting, emotional process. Jay knows this and shares in the excitement because he cares. There's a lot of moving parts in closing a loan - much less closing two loans at roughly the same time. Jay never fails to make the process feel seamless. He always remains cool and optimistic while at the same time cautious and detail oriented - clearly communicating progress along the way and setting expectations. Thank you Jay and team!

Henry Springer went above and beyond with the entire process. My husband and I can't thank him enough for relentlessly assisting us all throughout the process. He's a great communicator and very responsive to every question. I would definitely recommend Henry to anyone who's looking for a loan officer. Now, my husband and I are very happy and blessed with our new home.

It was so nice to always have Samantha just a text message away. As a first time homebuyer I had a lot of questions and wasn't sure if I would actually qualify for a loan. However, Samantha took the time to answer every one of our questions and helped us feel confident in our ability to buy a home. She found the perfect product for us that worked with our budget and got us into a home we love.

Our experience with them in buying our first home has been flawless and very low stress. They made the whole experience way less scary than I was expecting it to be. Thank you Jon Trussell for everything you have done and for answering our many questions.

Jay was amazing! He was extremely responsive and took his time to explain the entire process and answer all questions we had. He even returned a call from vacation!!! Our time to closing was very short with about 4 weeks and Jay and his team worked quickly to make sure we meet the deadline. We were extremely happy and felt well taken care of and would recommend Jay and his team to anyone!

From beginning to end, our experience with Todd was five star. He communicated with us in a clear and easy to understand manner every step of the way. He was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had during the loan process. Highly recommend Todd and his team . They were all a pleasure to work with and we thank them all for making our daughters dream of home ownership come true .

Our loan officer, Cody Marsh made our first time home-buying experience pain-free and smooth. He is an excellent communicator and patiently answered all our questions throughout the process.

Extremely knowledgeable, fast and efficient throughout the whole process. Amazing to have this kind of support especially when it’s for a first time buyer. Any time I had questions, Jay made himself available and walked me through every step of the way with patience and enthusiasm. Would highly recommend him to anyone looking for loan services. Will be back!

Angelique Arnason and her team pulled off a miracle. We were originally working with a different lender, who ended up severely dropping the ball multiple times, eventually putting our entire home purchase in jeopardy of falling out of escrow. We were referred to Angelique and began working with her just a week before our original escrow closing date, and basically just hoped and prayed that she could come through and rescue our deal, which she assured us she could. I am ecstatic to say that Angelique backed up everything she said, and she had the deal closed within 10 days! She truly did save our home purchase and we can't thank her enough! Angelique is without a doubt the ONLY lender we will ever work with or recommend again.

Jay was so amazing in our first home buying experience!! He educated us on the process and walked us through each step in a way that we could understand. He was easy to get a hold of and very timely in answering any questions that we had. The way he and his team work together was so great, their communication between each other and us as their clients was seamless. The way Doorway Mortgage does business is clearly for the benefit of their clients and is very much appreciated! We would recommend them to any of our friends or family and would use them again any time we need mortgage information!! Thank you so much for everything you guys did for us through this process!!

I had a great experience at Doorway Mortgage. Jay met my boyfriend and I just so we could discuss our options as first time home buyers. My boyfriend and I were both clueless about the process and were starting from scratch in terms of understanding loans, how they work, and what we could afford. We got a great schooling from Jay and came away empowered and ready to start our journey into the world of home ownership. It was a great experience with no pressure - they genuinely want to support and educate you and have your best interests in mind.

I was refereed to Doorway Mortgage from a friend of mine that had just bought a house, and who had utilized their services. I was still a ways out from purchasing, but wanted to go in and find out what it would take for me to purchase my first home. I set an appointment with Jay and was greeted with hospitality and I believe his signature Jimmy Johns sandwich. Jay was able to walk me through the process of home buying and gave me detailed illustrations on his white board. He providing me with the information I needed to adequately make my own decisions. After being educated we checked to see if I was approved, and Wallah, I was now on the hunt. With the market being the way it is, I took the next year to find the house that was a good fit for me. During that time I called Jay numerous times to ask questions. He was always there to give me answers. I'm happy to say that I finally found that house I was looking for and the staff at Doorway has made the process more than easy. I have recommended multiple friends, two of which are purchasing their first homes as well. Thanks Doorway for all your help. Joe

Jay Jaffee is amazing! He made the mortgage process understandable and educated us as we went through the application live. Opposed to being stressed and intimidated as first time home buyers, it has been a supportive and positive experience. I would recommend Doorway Home Loans to anyone who is looking for a no pressure, honest lender. The flexibility of scheduling times to meet was super convenient and catered to our needs. The dedication and commitment to people and their needs shines through!

It was a pleasure to be able to talk with Jay at Doorway Mortgage regarding our families upcoming move to the Portland area. It was refreshing to know that there was a company who explains the mortgage process and walks you through it step by step - with full transparency regarding the fees/ expenses involved. We feel very comfortable with our Doorway Mortgage experience, and especially with Jay, that he will be our go to mortgage broker going forward. Did I mention the transparency?? You have to love the fresh insight into the process. Keep it up Jay and Doorway Mortgage!!

Great service! Made first time home buying while working full time during a global pandemic a lot less stressful than I’d expected. Being able to sign forms securely online and communicate when I needed day or night was super helpful to me. Stef and the team were always there anytime to explain things and help with questions. Thank you!!

Jay and the Synergy One staff made this a very smooth and pleasant experience through a combination of being educational, professional, friendly, and efficient. Can’t say enough about them!
