I started this adventure back in Oct 2016. I wanted to buy a house and had no idea what to do. So I did what I thought was right, googled buying a house and ended up on a sight that connected me to companies that could help. Little did I know by clicking, "more information on home buying" would make my phone ring off the hook. One thing I learned quickly was I did not like the calls i received because almost everyone who called said, " oh, your not ready to buy today, call me when your ready." But I had a lot of questions, I thought to myself this is not the experience I expected as a first time home buyer. That was until I found Doug at Doorway Mortgage. He took the time to talk to me and wanted to know what I was looking to do, He was patient and offered his time around when I was available, I felt much better knowing someone was willing to work with me not against me. I was impressed with Doug because he scheduled my first sit down with him online which was best for me and at a time that worked best for my busy household. After 3 hours of me asking every question I could think of, Doug came up with a plan for me. He made sure I understood my options, gave me choices and empowered me to make the best decision for myself. He explained to me there was work I needed to do to get approved, but walked me through it all. When I finished our 3 hour session I felt very confident about the work I needed to do. Fast forward a few months, I did the work Doug suggested. It was time to have another meeting with Doug to see If I was pre approved. Doug, again, was patient and thorough. He was also friendly and seemed like he was more excited than I was to get me approved. After about an hour online, He told me I was pre approved! Doug walked me through the process and assisted me with a realtor. I did not think this was possible but with Doug guiding and empowering me , I can now start looking for my first home! Very glad to have connected with Doug and Doorway Home Loans! Highly recommend Doug Rokosz.

Jay Jaffee is the ABSOLUTE BEST! We had already been told that we did not, and would not, qualify for a home for at least another year because we were relatively new to the area, so new-ish job history for my husband. I got in touch with our (also AMAZING) realtor, Angela Toyer with Premiere Property Group, who said just to give Jay a call and see what he said and get a 2nd opinion on pre-qualification. I am so thankful and glad I did, because we are closing on our beautiful new house today! Jay walked us through every single step of the process, literally educated us on his job and what he does and why he does it as a lender. He was able to work with our schedules to accommodate funky meeting times and even has toys for the kiddos to play with! My 5 year old knows him by name because he left Jays office with 2 brand new hot wheels :) All in all, Jay is great, he did our refinance for us on a home we own in Bend, allowed us to purchase a great home here and has been so easy to work with the entire time we have been doing business with him. Not to mention, he is just a fun guy! I am almost sad to close on this home because it means no more working with Jay -- that says a lot! We highly recommend him to anyone searching for a true, honest lender to help them with becoming educated on the home buying process along the way!

I was dreading our initial phone call with Jay. After having several bad experiences with various lenders, I had resigned myself to never believing we could get past our bad credit to qualify for a home loan. But Jay was very kind, personable, and most importantly: helpful. He talked through every step of the mortgage process with us, looked at our current situation, and pointed out several variables that would help our ability to qualify both now and in the future. And Jay was just very upfront and frank about everything, no need for us to feel embarrassed or make excuses for our credit or available assets. I have never had such HOPE when talking to anyone about buying a home. Thanks to Jay, we now have an actionable game plan, and after 22 years (!!) of marriage and never being able to buy a home, we are excited to start a new chapter of our life!

My husband and I were referred to Jay at Doorway mortgage. I have to admit, on the way to our appointment I was skeptical and believed we were wasting our time. When we arrived, a woman rolled up on a scooter (how cool!) and welcomed us! We were treated with kindness and respect right from the beginning. I was hesitant with our credit and debt and lack of knowledge about everything. Jay made us feel comfortable and secure throughout the appointment. He broke the scary unknown parts of loans, credit, and everything that goes with buying a house down for us in a way that we could understand. We had our busy two year old daughter with us and he helped occupy her with toys, Peppa Pig, and food! After meeting with him, the dream of owning a house became more of a reality for us and we left feeling confident! Thank you Jay. May the force be with you!

There are really no words to adequately express how grateful I am. There were many hurdles to overcome, but you persisted and made a dream possible.” You have no idea what you have done for me, and my family. You are incredible people and I consider you more than just my lender; I consider you my friends. Doorway home loan is the most professional and caring originator, and truly blessed to have you guys as my lender! Rebecca was very good at keeping my real-estate agent and myself up to date on what was happening with the loan. Very professional with keeping everyone involved. Jay i want to tell you that your very lucky to have such a great employee with your company. I will certainly recommend Rebecca and as your self Jay to future clients. Thank you for such a great experience working with the both of you as a first time home buyer!

I have purchase several homes over the years. And in my experience, I was routinely disappointed with my experience in getting home loans and dealing with mortgage brokers. I City Mortgage was an exception to this experience! I City Mortgage was incredible, the loan process was personal and Jay, (my lender, ask for him, he was the best!), not only walked me thru the process from start to finish but made sure I was choosing the right approach for my family and long term financial goals. I have never felt more comfortable getting a home loan in my life. The loan process was smooth and quick. Their way of doing business was revolutionary!! For the first time ever, I felt no anxiety over the loan process and was able to relax. Everyone I know, now knows about I City Mortgage! I recommend them to friends and strangers.

As a real estate broker I can say without a doubt that Jay and his team at Doorway Home Loans have been the best resource I have found during my time in the industry. He was a referral from a trusted client and right away I knew it would be a great compliment to my style of business based on client education and doing things the "right" way. The first two clients of mine that he met with called me immediately following meeting with Jay and said what an outstanding and educational process he has set up, as well as how cool of a person he was to speak with. Beyond that he has delivered time and time again while being informative and educational for me as well. I trust him completely and admire the way he runs his business. Looking forward to continuing to introduce him to clients and others in the industry!

Jay Jaffee has been the greatest. Very upfront and explains everything. We backed out of our first offer and Jay had to start all over with our new loan. He was terrific about doing that. Most people would have be frustrated or angry but he was out to help us with the right fit and choice for our income. We very much appreciate what he does for his clients. He is always on top of what is going on and explains what happens next. He also referred us to our realtor Hannah Fouts from the area we want to live. The whole experience has been educational and as stress free as possible. Jay Jaffee gets the job done and absorbs the majority of the stress for you. Highly recommended by us. A great guy.

I along with my girlfriend just wrapped up purchasing our first home! Tammy Harrison was without-a-doubt THE MOST crucial piece to getting this done. She helped us get qualified for the First Time Home-Buyers program while explaining the whole process as we went along (as opposed to just shoving papers in front us of and telling us to sign). There is "supposed" to be a lot of stress involved with buying a home, but Tammy went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable but also educated on every step along the way. I would HIGHLY recommended anyone, especially the younger generation of home buyers to at least sit down with her and get some knowledge on the process. We cannot thank her enough for all the help!

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 am first time home owner and I had no idea what to do and what to expect. I worked with Tammy Harrison and she was amazing. She went over all the paperwork with me and helped me through each step of the home buying process. With the help of Tammy and International City Mortgage, buying a home seemed like a normal transaction done on a daily basis for me. Thank you so much for all your hard work, Tammy, you are amazing and I would love to continue working with you in the future! I definitely recommend International City Mortgage, they have competitive rates, great client services, and amazing staff. Thanks again Tammy!!!!

We just closed on our first home a few weeks ago and had a wonderful experience working with Tai Starr and company. Working with them made the whole process less stressful and pleasant. When it came to credit scoring, Tai went above the call of duty to research the status of a missing credit score and advised the ways to get that corrected and improve the score tremendously. They also helped us get a home buyer grant that we had not learned from any other source. The grant helped us keep much of our savings in our pocket while still being able to purchase our home!! Loved working with these guys!!

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!!

We were trying to obtain a refinance loan to consolidate our debt. In order to accomplish that we first had to repair our credit. Matt Hurych, Sales Manager with Doorway Home Loans made this possible. He guided us through the process to the end. He went the extra mile to make our experience a good one. I would recommend him any time. He is a good guy and will do everything possible to make the transaction as painless as possible. Matt, along with Ryan Silverstein made everything easy and explained the process along the way. Thanks Matt and Ryan - you are the best.
