We are not very good renters, we were like fish out of water living in homes that we could not truly make our own. When the time was right, we started looking for a new pond to live in, and contacted a mortgage broker. They were terrible, feeding us the standard bait (and switch!) and completely unable to back up their promises. Then, after we dumped them and got over feeling sorry for ourselves, we did a lot of research which led us to Gary Boyer. Don’t let the nickname “Mortgage Monkey” mislead you, this man is not monkeying around at all. One of us being self-employed always complicates everything we try to do, but in this case, there was nothing to worry about. He and his team changed our perception of getting a home loan for the better. From application to closing, Gary and his team handled everything for us, and almost did it too well! From previous experiences, we were expecting phone calls, push-back, strange requests for things, and other delays. But, before we really knew what was going on, we were closing on our home! The weird West Coast “dry” close thing aside, this was a wonderful experience. Gary gently put us back into the water and even sent us an unexpected housewarming gift. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Gary Boyer and the entire Directors Mortgage team. Thank you so much and we will definitely be coming back to you when we wish to swim the stream and find a new pond in which to call home.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU...is all my husband and I can say to Gary Boyer and his entire team. After gratefully accepting a position at OHSU my husband and I (within two months) sold our home in Phoenix, AZ and moved to Portland scared to death we would have a hard time purchasing a home so fast. We signed a short 6-month lease on a Portland waterfront apartment (paying a small fortune in rent) just knowing we would probably have to extend the lease longer and guess what?? -- we not only found a home within 2 months of moving to Portland but; thanks to Gary Boyer and his team, we were able to secure the financing we desperately needed to buy the home. Tomorrow Thursday, July 27th we move into that beautiful home and we are so thankful. During the entire process Gary Boyer and his team made the entire loan process seem painless and stress free. They met with us regularly and guided us through all of the paperwork and deadlines never once making us feel pressured or stressed. They even answered all of my stupid questions time after time again…lol. Making me feel at ease. We would (and will) recommend Gary Boyer and his team at Directors Mortgage to anyone looking for an honest, friendly and reputable mortgage broker. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU…you made our dreams come true and gave us peace of mind when we needed it most!~ Sincerely, Tracy Bruce Wright and Aaron T. Mendes

We were referred to Gary by a friend of mine when my husband and I were looking to buy our first home. When we first met Gary we figured we were not even in a position to buy, but wanted his advice on what we needed to do to get there. This was our first experience with a mortgage lender and Gary and his team far exceeded our expectations. He happily told us we actually could buy a home now. During our search, if I ever had questions about estimated mortgage for homes we liked, he was always prompt no matter what time day or night I was contacting him (and still is to this day even though we officially purchased our home months ago). When we finally decided on a home and went into escrow, I was anticipating a stressful experience from years of hearing other horror stories of the buying process. We again were pleasantly surprised to really have everything taken care of and little need from our end other than supplying the necessary documents. I without a doubt would recommend Gary to anyone out there buying a home. I know whenever we decide to sell and purchase our next home, Gary will be the first person we will call.

Calling my credit history challenging is being polite. For too polite. But Gary took the time to sit with me and help me get it in order. He gave me advice and pointers on how to get some of the old information cleaned out, as well as strategies to attack the current issues. Having done what he does for so long, he knew what the lenders were going to look for and what I should tackle first, and what was going to be a long term project. He also helped with solutions for not just purchasing a house but getting me back on track to having a good credit rating. For the help with the credit alone it was all worth it. But to have come out the other side with my first home, which I am over the moon about, is like icing on an already delicious cake. I could not recommend him higher, and wish I give give him and his co-workers more than 5 stars. They more than earned it.

Gary Boyer and his team were instrumental in getting me into my first home. I started looking into buying a home with little idea of what I was doing or what the process would entail, but Gary guided me through everything with knowledgeable, personal service and answered all of my amateur questions quickly and kindly. I went to Directors Mortgage because I was looking for local, personal service. I had heard many stories of people who went to big national banks for their mortgage and regretted it. With Directors, everything happens quickly and efficiently. Gary responded to my questions immediately, even on nights and weekends. I appreciate everything Gary and his team did guiding me through an extensive and sometimes complicated process and happy to now be a homeowner.

This is the second time I have used Gary to help finance another home. I will never go through another mortgage broker EVER! Not only are his rates competitive, his staff are top notch...Gary gets things done. I was gong to be out of the country for three weeks around the time of the closing doing a medical mission in a third world country outside of modern technology. I had to move up the closing date and Gary and his staff worked their tails off to make the magic happen. I am indebted. I needed to be handled with kid gloves through this second purchase and Gary helped get me through some difficult times. I enjoy his calm demeanor, his love of classic cars and his genuine compassion and care for his clients! There is no better

My partner and I had been searching for a home in Portland for 2 years. After having three of our loans fall through with other mortgage brokers we were feeling discouraged and jaded. We finally met Gary through a trusted referral from a friend. Gary was able to work with our complicated financial situation with ease and reinstill the trust we needed to make this huge purchase. Within three weeks we got our dream home. Gary was there every step of the way, answering questions as well as supporting us through the emotional turmoil of first time buying. Everything went incredibly smoothly and as I sit in the home I never thought I would have I can honestly say, “Thank you Gary, you made this possible!”

This was our first home purchase and it was with new construction. The process took MUCH longer than expected because of building delays but Gary Boyer and his team at Directors Mortgage walked us through the entire process smoothly, clearly, and very professionally. They had to gather some of our information again because too much time had passed and were patient and explained everything along the way for us. We cannot say enough how happy we are that Gary and Directors Mortgage was who we worked with and we will most certainly recommend them to anyone looking for Mortgage services. Thank you so much for all the work you put in and help you gave getting us into our home.

Gary helps make your dreams come true! My husband and I are first time home owners due to the hard work that Gary did for us. We were also planning our wedding at the same time as buying a house. He kept the process going without over burdening us, so that we could focus on our wedding plans. He worked extremely hard to expedite the process so that we could get the house before the wedding. Allowing my husband to move in and prep the house a few weeks before the wedding. At which time I would move in. I would recommend Gary to anyone that is looking for house or to refinance one.

We have followed Gary through a few different transitions with different companies and have never considered using anyone else. Over the last 3 years, Gary and his team (Go Kendra!) have made both a refinance and a new home purchase as simple and seamless as these type of transactions can be. They are always readily available and are great at covering each other day or night so that someone is always able to answer questions and ease minds. Gary truly brings that human touch and caring spirit into a part of the money world that normally does not feel that way.

It takes a good 6 months after financing or refinancing to breathe deeply and appreciate that it has been done and reflect on the experience. Lisa and I have had Gary work with us twice and it is a phenomenal amount of details that he is excellent in directing attention through and obstacles to overcome. I believe that twice he made daunting and difficult scenarios bearable in a respectful and sympathetic manner while being the best coach and advocate to be honest in understanding what is involved and how to ensure it is the best approach for your needs.

Gary, what a wild ride it was, but you made it happen! Our family are now proud owners of our own home again and it was mostly because of you and your outstanding team. It took time and effort and your professional guidance but you made it happen for us. I recommend anyone who is looking for an outstanding and professional team to assist them while purchasing their home should definitely go with you. Even though we lived all the way down on the Southern Oregon Coast you made it happen. Thank You for everything you have done.

My husband and I bought our first home in September 2014. We did our due diligence researching lenders and we are so happy that we choose NW Mortgage Group to work with. Gary was amazing from start to finish. He was always available to answer questions, no matter how silly. He made us feel comfortable with such a huge step in our lives and he really took the time to help us educate ourselves as to what we were getting into. Besides being really good at his job, he is a wonderful person and a lot of fun to work with.

Gary is amazing. He has now helped us with seamlessly purchasing 2 homes and with a refi. He is knowledgable and provides great insight which has been a huge help. He always surprises us with how accessible he is. On several occasions i emailed him very late, not expecting a response until the next day and he responded almost immediately with either an answer or an acknowledgement of my message. We will absolutely use him in the future when the need arises and would highly recommend him.

Want to send a HUGE thank you to Gary and his team and express our sincerest gratitude! Gary has been our mortgage broker for 2 home purchases. He met with us at our house as we have an infant and worked during the night and on weekends to close fast. He is a clear communicator and kept us updated throughout every step. He helped us qualify for our dream house and though I hope we never move would love to work with Gary in the future! Thanks again, we truly appreciate all your hard work!!!

Great experience! My partner and I are both self-employed which made the home buying process overwhelming. Gary met with us a year before we were ready to buy a home to help us understand what we would need financially to make this a reality. When the time came his team was efficient and easy to work with. When we found our house he and his team worked hard to keep us on track for closing despite the extra paperwork needed due to being self employed. Highly recommend!

Gary and Kendra were wonderful. The 2016 presidential election occurred during the process of buying our home. Despite interest rates increasing rapidly as well as a personal loss, Gary ensured our loan interest remained as promised. He is a man of his word. Kendra kept us in the loop whenever we had questions. We had no issues getting our appraisal done on time (this can be an issue in Portland). We even got a nice housewarming gift! Thanks so much Gary and Kendra!
