I contacted Kristeen at First Portland Mortgage after two unsatisfactory mortgage experiences. The first mortgage attempt was with a bank who after three months of frequent (and sometimes redundant) information requests and missed deadlines informed me that investments, my primary income source, was not acceptable even though this fact was clear from the beginning. The second attempt with local mortgage company was lengthy, had many data requests sometimes repeated due to delays, and a loan offer whose terms were not market competitive. The experience with Kristeen was just the opposite. She assessed my situation quickly and accurately laid out the tasks and timetable needed. She effectively managed the resources necessary to qualify, approve, and close my loan on a timely basis (45 days). The terms were quite competitive. Communication was very responsive, she made me feel like I was her only customer. I highly recommend Kristeen as your mortgage advocate.

I have worked with First Portland Mortgage corporation, and Kristeen Smith for the better part of 20 years, as her closing coordinator for a local title company. Recently, I branched into Real Estate Brokerage, and was lucky enough to have my first purchaser use First Portland Mortgage Corporation as her lending institution, and no surprise to me, but with a great deal of relief felt by my client, we had a loan approval within 11 working days, and closing on time just before the holiday. Professional and knowledgeable would be the best way to describe First Portland Mortgage Corporation, and Kristeen Smith, in particular. Many thanks!!!

Kristeen Smith was an amazing guide, teacher, and resource through the entire process of buying my first home as well as obtaining my mortgage. I had my first conversation with her before I had started looking at homes and it turned out to be an extremely valuable conversion as I left with a true understanding of my options and what steps to take to put me in the best position for my choice. Kristeen was always available, friendly and knowledgeable. I got a great mortgage and closing went without a hitch. Who knew getting a mortgage was going to be fun! I recommend First Portland Mortgage to anyone thinking about buying a home.

I came in to home buying knowing nothing about financing, First Portland Mortgage guided me from beginning to end. Nobody referred me to them. I just did my own research and found their website and send them an e-mail and they replied instantly. They found the best mortgage program inline with my financial situation. Their simulation for my monthly mortgage was very accurate (within margin of error). They got me the best home insurance with the most protection. I could go on. Just trust them.

My overall service from First Portland was excellent. I worked with Kristeen Smith who was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. She made the process pleasant and easy. She was clear on all her documentation requests and the time frames we were working with. When ever I contacted her with questions she was available and always gave me excellent direction regarding my options. The closing was smooth. I would highly recommend First Portland and definitely Kristeen Smith.

Kristeen was wonderful to work with. Our home buying experience was not a straightforward one: a private sale with no real estate agents and we used FHA financing. Still - the process was smooth because Kristeen was so knowledgeable and communicative throughout the whole process. Would highly recommend First Portland Mortgage to anyone who is looking to buy a home or refinance.

"My experience with First Portland Mortgage was FIRST RATE! It was exceptional service and working directly with Jeff was wonderful. He answered my phone calls and emails quickly, was always helpful, and he made me feel like I was his #1 client. If I ever need a home loan again, I will definitely be contacting Jeff and First Portland - it was a wonderful experience all around."

I had an excellent experience with Kristeen Davis. She found me an excellent rate with unbeatable closing costs, and even provided additional term options than I knew were available. The process went incredibly smoothly and Kristeen worked behind the scenes to limit any extra work needed on my end. I have already suggested First Portland Mortgage to my coworkers.

"This was our first time working with First Portland Mortgage Corp and with Kristeen Smith. We were impressed on how methodical Kristeen was and how smooth the process from selling our old home to purchasing our new home was. If we are ever in the market for land or real estate we will absolutely be calling Kristeen and First Portland Mortgage. Thank you so much!!"

Jeff Davison does a wonderful job putting loans together. Even though my being self-employed creates some challenges as to gathering financial paperwork, Jeff got the job done in record time! He is terrific and I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to re-fi or first time mortgage.

We have used Kristeen and her team at First Portland for a number of refinancings and new home purchases over the past decade or so. First Portland provides great service, good communication, competitive rates and timely processing. We just used them again in 2015. Same great service.

Kristeen Smith of First Portland Mortgage Corp. made what can be a very stressful process into a series of very comfortable conversations. I will reach out to her again if I am ever in need and will certainly recommend FPMC and Kristeen to anyone that is in the market for a mortgage.

"I have worked with Kristeen on 3 different loans and she is bar-none the best in the industry. She takes a personal interest in every loan, almost as if it were her own. Always quick to respond and follow up. Thanks Joe B"
