"Ken Kondziela… has a great team and has processed two mortgages for us.  He also processed one for another friend of ours and they all went through as promised.  Ken is always available, talks like a human instead of trying to talk over your head, and his staff processes thing as fast as you can get it to them. They are honest and don't promise things they can't deliver.  Of course, you have to do your part and get them what they need, but I recommend them without reservation."

~ 2012, Kelly and Andy, Portland, OR

"I worked with Dereik Mason while recently purchasing my first home and I can't recommend him enough.  He kept me a step ahead of the game the whole process and he always replied to my inquiries with blazing speed with great detail.  He worked tirelessly to make sure that everything went smoothly for me.  He actually got all my paperwork done so that I closed a week early and he said I could have even closed a week earlier than that if we needed/wanted to.  Between him and my real estate agent, I don't think the whole process could have went any better!"
~ 2012, Bryan, Beaverton, OR


"Ken and team, thank you all for your hard work on our refinance!  It is greatly appreciated!  Now we only have to work until we're 65 instead of 80!"
~ 2012, Brian and Terri,  Portland, OR


"I've used Dereik's services to purchase and to re-fi, and I refer him to all of my clients.  If you are looking for a mortgage broker who will tirelessly fight to get you a great rate, who will go the extra mile to ensure that your deal will close on time, who provides thorough and friendly communication, who is knowledgeable and highly detail oriented, then let Dereik earn your business."
~ 2012, Mason, Portland, OR


"Ken, your help in assisting with the condo was very much appreciated.  You and your office staff were so very willing to do what was needed, most quickly and professionally!  Hopefully my daughter will be in a position to buy soon and you will be available to assist her also.  Again, my thanks to you and your crew!"
~ 2012, Patti, McMinnville, OR


"You guys rock!  It's great working with you!"
~ 2012, Patty, Lake Oswego, OR


"What can I say!!!  Love them!!  I had bought my first home, and Dereik Mason was very thorough, explained everything in detail, and was always professional and understanding!  Since this was my first home, he had to deal with my little "freak-outs" from time to time.  I was NERVOUS about getting into so much debt.  Everything went smooth and very, very fast!  Was so easy!  What I loved the most, was that I was also able to do a lot of the paperwork via email.  No extra time off work was needed.  Again, loved the entire experience!"
~2012, Crystal, Portland, OR


"Ken and NW Premier, I know you did lots of hard work for very little compensation.  I greatly appreciate all you did for me!"
~ 2012, Judy, Central Point, OR

"Ken, the house is so wonderful and we wouldn't be here without your hard work and patience!  Thank you so very much!!"
~ 2012, Mindy and Kelly, Gladstone, OR
 

"We've used Dereik Mason's services on 3 separate occasions: 1 purchase and 2 refinances (and wish that I had used him on my first purchase.) Each time we've worked with him and his office, they have been professional and detail oriented. Dereik works really hard, has excellent communication skills and is really fast to answer your questions; as a bonus, he has an excellent sense of humor. We strongly recommend Dereik for any of your mortgage needs... his service is top notch!"
~ 2012, Julie, Columbia City, OR

 
"Ken, just a quick note to let you know that Myndi is ecstatic with the service you and your staff are providing.  She is very happy that she dumped her previous Mortgage Broker.  Thanks for making me look good by suggesting she go with you!"
~2011, Randy, Lake Oswego, OR


"Dereik, we all enjoyed your help and candor during this very important chapter in our lives, not to mention during a difficult economic trend (banks, etc).  We will do our best to send any business your way.  Again, thank you for this wonderful journey!  You are awesome!"
~ 2011, Ted, Portland, OR

~2010, John, Damascus, OR

~ 2010, Andrew, Portland, OR

"Ken helped us with refinancing our house and got us a great rate.  It's like finding money on the sidewalk."
~ 2009, Andy, Portland, OR
