Marty has helped us finance/refi two homes. Whether we were dealing with a refi, a HARP refi or a new purchase, Marty was always responsive and knowledgeable. Every time he has come back with the best rates and closing costs. Additionally, he has kept in contact with us throughout the years in case rates drops and he can save us a few extra dollars. Definitely worth the call to Marty if you are in the market for home financing.

Steve Ungrey is a professional. My funds to close and payment were lower than expected! My loan closed sooner than expected and I was kept informed throughout the entire process. I loved working with Steve and his processor, Diane. I would recommend Steve Ungrey and Northern Mortgage to anyone of my friends or family!

Very knowledgeable, very good communications, excellent customer service throughout the whole process. Whenever I had questions or concerns, Marty addressed them promptly. Got me a great rate, and closed in time too. Highly recommend!
