I have purchased many homes and farms during my lifetime, and never have I worked with a lender like Brian. He makes the whole process easy and stress free. He not only got the job done, but got me a great interest rate and got it done quickly. He is kind and patient and professional, and when the deal is done you will feel like you gained not only a new house, but a new friend. What a pleasure it is to work with Brian. Even if you think your credit isn't good enough to buy a house, call Brian. You will be amazed at what he can get done for you.

Rob Eddie was our guy..and let me tell you...I was nervous from a bad experience I had with a prior home purchase..went in guarded...very quickly he made me feel very comfortable and was so on top of everything! Closed a week early, took my stupid phone calls on Sunday..made the process so so easy!! And oh yeah by the way...when we were at closing the sellers realtor told us, when they seen Rob Eddie with Northern had our loan...they said they knew our offer was solid and all the rest of the process would go seamlessly..cause of the reputation they have!!! Thanks so much!!

Rob Eddie with Northern Mortgage was amazing in helping me purchase my first home. He guided me through the buying process and even helped me better my credit with suggestions on what I needed to do to better it! A year ago I would have not been able to purchase a home but with Rob Eddie and Northern Mortgage, it was possible and I couldn't be happier. I'm truly thankful for all of their help, attention, and guidance and for all that I'm a very happy home owner.
