Testimonials

Rob and his team are fantastic! He, Dana and Tara were extremely professional in handling all matters financial on the purchase of our home in Issaquah. They worked closely with all of the parties involved in the transaction, which translated into a smooth and seamless process. Communications on all matters were clear and timely, making it clear what our responsibilities were and when we needed to fulfill them. We were completely confident throughout the process.

Rob and team were the picture of professionalism through our re-fi process. We had some unique situations "pop-up" during the process and Rob was knowledgeable, patient and an excellent communicator each step of the way. I would highly recommend Tamaela Mortgage!

As a real estate agent, I’ve enjoyed working with Rob and his team on several transactions. They are top-notch! Getting a mortgage can feel very overwhelming, especially for first-time homebuyers. Rob takes the time to explain each step and always makes sure that his clients feel well informed and comfortable as they go through the process.
If you’re thinking of getting a mortgage or plan to refinance, give Rob a call!

We were in need of a cash-out refi and after talking to several professionals, Rob won our business by a long shot. He gave us the best deal but also impeccable service. He has a whole team of professionals assisting him in the process. Communication was always replied to within minutes, even in the off hours. We will definitely be returning for future mortgage needs, not that we'll be needing them anytime soon after the spectacular rate and low closing costs we received!

This Office, they very helpful, quick response and there process is quick and prompt as long as you are too very cooperative.....

Great experience!! We had a unique situation that other brokers could not get done. Rob, and his team worked with us, and were very responsive to any questions, as other big box companies were positive they could help us, then after wasting our time, could not....so we were a little pessimistic that our situation may be one that could not be done at this time. Well, they got it done. When an insurance issue came up, they were very helpful, and knew how to take care of it, and knew how to make the process, one that can be stressful, and difficult, very smooth. Got the best rate quoted by any broker. Everyone we worked with was awesome! As good of an experience as one could have when financing a home. Thanks Rob!

Rob and his team are the best. We've used them several times as have friends.
Easy to work with and always available to help.
We'll never go anywhere ruse

We have refinanced two times through Rob Tameala and the Tameala Mortgage team. They helped identify the right product and rates for our unique situation and were highly responsive to all our questions and numerous clarifications. The team has a very smooth and streamlined online process. We highly recommend them for your mortgage needs.

Rob Tamaela advertises during the baseball games. So I have heard probably versions of a thousand different mortgage adds. Rob’s add sounded sincere and advertises expertise, information and personal attention. All the other adds advertise knowledge without the comfort of expertise. I contacted Rob and he contacted me immediately. He wanted to discuss my goals of the refinance and after that his team provided refinance options. I had questions and Rob himself answered every one. If you want to work with a professional who is also an expert than Rob Tamaela (Tamaela Mortgage) is the way to go. Don’t make a mistake! Go with Tamaela Mortgage!

Rob was easy and fantastic to work with. He is truly an expert in his field and made sure we got the best possible mortgage rate. He was truly on our side. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of buying or refinancing a home. I know I’ll use his services again in the future.

Best decision I made. Rob Tamaela at Tamaela Mortgage was the best choice I made in purchasing a home.

Rob was immediately responsive to me regardless of the day or the hour or whether the man is even on vacation or not. From before I even decided to use him asking him hours of questions at Starbucks to the very last day and beyond. He replied to every email or text or call right away. He proved a level of expertise and professional knowledge again and again regardless of small questions or big questions that made me confident that I truly had an expert on my team.

Rob is an awesome broker He helped us with 2 purchases and a refi.. I can’t say enough about the high touch service and how he kept us informed educated along the way.. not all of the processes were stress free , but they were as smooth as they possibly could be all due to Rob’s expertise !

You made the process smooth and un-confusing! Superb communication, always had an answer, very knowledgeable, confident, trustworthy, and friendly. Rob is very passionate about what he does and we feel we were greatly well taken care of and he even cares about us after we closed! We’re coming back for sure!

Thanks so much to you and your team! Your customer service level is impressive and unbeatable!! I feel more informed, responded to and taken care of than I ever have. I tell all of my friends and colleagues about you. When I’m talking to you or one of your team members, I feel like I’m your only client…thanks for placing such a high level of importance on the lost art of customer service. It truly goes a long way in my book.

Take care and I’ll make every effort to send more folks your way. Thanks for everything,

It was my first time home buying experience & I was very inexperienced at getting a mortgage shopping for rates etc. Rob and Dana helped me a ton throughout the process. Always were there to answer the questions. Made the process seamless. I had a requirement of closing within 20 days and he delivered it within 15 days! A true professional! Knows his stuff and I recommend him to anyone and everyone. Talk to Rob at least once before finalizing your mortgage & you'll thank me later.

Thank you so very much for helping us get our loan. It’s been the very best loan experience we’ve ever received. We appreciate your honesty with keeping your word about the whole process. We definitely will recommend you to our friends and family. Remember we’ll come back to you guys when we refinance in 2 years.

The mortgage loan went very smooth and I so enjoyed working with you and Western Washington Mortgage. You and your staff made the transaction happen without any headaches. Thank you again, and I will pass your name to all.

Wanted to let you know that your service is the best I’ve ever received. I’ve bought and sold 9 homes and refinanced many times but have never gotten the same level of service that I’ve received from Western Washington Mortgage. Now if I could just get that song out of my head… Thanks again.

Ron and I would like to thank you for the gift basket full of goodies! That was completely unexpected and really made my day. You are the first company to even give us a thank you after closing a loan, so it was really nice and made us feel very loved! Thanks again for everything,

You took our information on day one. On day 10 we signed the papers. On day 13 the loan funded. These were calendar days! You found a perfect product for us, your fees were ½ of what we were going to pay with our existing mortgage holder, and you delivered on everything that you promised either on time or early.

Rob, I believe that you and your organization add incredible value to this process and address it with professionalism that is unmatched.

They have handled two mortgage deals for me done great!

I was referred to Rob about 2 years ago when I was looking to refinance my condo. After sending Rob all of my loan notes, it took him about 2 hours to respond back. He let me know that after examining everything it would be in my best interest to stick to my current loans and provided a list of reasons detailing why he felt it wasn't a good time. It all made perfect sense, and I really appreciate his honest feedback and it didn't cost me a dime. I really respect him for that.

Working with Rob, I felt like I was working with a good friend. I could not have asked for better customer service and would not hesitate to refer any of my friends to him.

Thank you very much for your handling of our refinance. Your professionalism should be commended. I have had probably four loans for homes in my lifetime. By far you were the most helpful and genuine.

Thanks again,

We found Rob based on a recommendation from a friend of ours. This is the second time we have used him for a mortgage, and both time the experience has been great.

Rob did a fantastic job of guiding us through each twist and turn of our mortgage application. His service is as good as it gets. We really enjoyed working with Rob and have continually been impressed by his clear and proactive communication, responsiveness, integrity, and knowledge of the process. We had a relatively complex situation but he brought us through it all with flying colors. Our deepest thanks goes out to Rob for making our home purchase go so smoothly and for his top-notch service. We hope to work with Rob again in the future and will gladly recommend to anyone we know.

Thank you so much for helping us every step of the way. You provided us with such excellent and personal customer service, and made the whole process smooth and easy, and we appreciate it. Your advice and sincere caring helped out our entire family.

Carrie and I would like to express our deepest heart felt graditude to each of you for assisting us in making our dream come true. I appreciate the personal touch given to us. Thanks for tolerating an “old soldier” that I’m sure has tested some of your patience. Thanks again.

Jeff and I want to thank you for the goodie basket, of course-a terrific treat. But we most particularly want to thank you for being a terrific mortgage broker and making the process so easy. I just wish we had more money so we could buy more real estate with your help!
