Heather McGarry – Green Mortgage Northwest

Heather was such a pleasure to work with. She was super helpful from start to finish. There was amazing communication and in the end she helped me get a loan for my first house. Working on a 2^nd loan now only a little over a year later. 5 Stars

Heather helped my wife and I refinance a rental property, after helping us with financing for our new primary residence.
I would highly recommend Heather and her team at Green Mortgage Northwest for your real estate financing needs.
Thanks, Heather!

Heather was amazing! She really goes the extra mile and keeps an open door policy. As first time home buyers, she was willing to meet with us and run us through the process along with patiently answering all of our questions. I imagine our first purchase went probably as well as it could have because she was on our team. She knows this industry extremely well. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again or recommend her services to others.

We absolutely loved working with Heather and we’d do so again in a heartbeat. She is incredibly smart, on top of things, and a pleasure to work with. She really tried to make the process of buying home and going through the mountain of paperwork… fun! We had a tricky mortgage process and she shepherded us through to closing and we couldn’t be happier. We definitely recommend her.

I worked with Heather on a recent investment purchase. This was a complex deal that required simultaneous closings. Our finances due to a side business were complex and there were many battled with the underwriters that Heather helped us manage. She is extremely positive and professional and a pleasure to work with. I appreciated her quick responses and willingness to hop on the phone as needed.
I would highly recommend Heather and will plan to work with her again in the future as needs arise.

Heather McGarry, with Green Mortgage Northwest, was an absolute rock star in helping us close our real estate purchase. As our mortgage broker, she went to bat for us time and time again, as the underwriting process became increasingly detailed and difficult. Our debt to income ratio was on the margins for our deal, and we knew this. This meant the underwriters were looking very closely at everything. Heather was with us EVERY step of the way, helping us figure out what we needed to do, and also advocating for us and getting the underwriters to let some things go that really felt unnecessary. On top of all that, she was always optimistic, has a really positive outlook, and her response time to our queries was almost immediate in most cases. She is online doing her work most days, so anytime I sent her an email or text, I’d usually hear back within minutes. In the end, we closed on our house, and we love it! Heather was a completely integral part of the process, and we cannot recommend her enough. If you are seeking a loan for a new property, call Heather! Soooo much better than dealing with the bureaucracy of a bank.

Heather worked with me to buy my first home. She was INCREDIBLE, making what was a somewhat overwhelming process smooth and seamless. She’s super responsive and quick, very knowledgable and made sure to slow down and explain things in simple terms. And she’s easy-​going and funny to top it all off. I felt like I was in very competent hands. I would highly recommended her to anyone, but especially first time home buyers like myself.

I had a great experience with Heather as my broker. She was friendly, answered all my questions in an extremely timely and patient manner (even multiple times when some things just didn’t «click»), and the transaction was smooth and trouble-​free.

This was my first time buying a home and Heather made it as easy as it could be. She’s very helpful, savvy, has a great work ethic, and a positive attitude. I almost always hate dealing with people in the sales/​financial/​banking industries, but this experience was great. If I needed a mortgage or refinance in the future, I would most definitely come back.

While I didn’t move forward with Heather as my mortgage broker, she did prove to be an excellent professional for my first home purchase experience. She’s very friendly, honest, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions or concerns with the process. I felt very comfortable with her, which is probably one of the most important aspects with regards to financing your mortgage.
If I hadn’t gone with my credit union as my mortgage broker, I would have certainly gone forward with Heather. I would recommend her highly, especially if you are looking toward buying your first home. She will get everything squared away.

My partner and I were in a panic when we found out our rental condo was being short-​saled and we would have to move in a few months. The rental market is tight in Portland — like really tight. We hated fighting over crappy space with 10 other people and decided to jump back into home ownership. With only one of us working a traditional W-​2 job, we were concerned about qualifying for a home loan with today’s stringent standards. We interviewed a few brokers and received good faith estimates, ultimately deciding to work with Heather because not only were the home loan fees reasonable and even cheaper than some — she made sure to thoroughly vet our ability to qualify for a loan well before the home-​buying process really even began so we could feel confident about moving forward with the transaction.
Working primarily through email and Dropbox, Heather kept the process running smoothly and we felt entirely supported from start to finish. After we locked our rate, she was able to secure us a rate reduction due to fluctuating market conditions so now our mortgage is $ 50 less every month — awesome! Due to some complications with city permitting, our unit required re-​appraisal and because the re-​appraisal was onerous, Heather requested a fee reduction and we got a $ 100 check in the mail after escrow closed — yeah us! This could be your mortgage success story too.
I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a regular, non-​investment or multi-​use property, to work with Heather — she’s wicked smart and fun to work with!

Heather guided me as a young buyer in purchasing my first home. I have since refinanced with her twice and not only is she a great broker, she has a wealth of information regarding home improvements! Heather has referred me to several contractors whom she trusts and answers any questions/​concerns for the life of the house. Heather is down to earth and trustworthy. I have recommended her for my friends and family.

I can’t say enough great things about my experience working with Heather at Homelinq. Her communication was great and she made my fiancé who was a first time buyer feel totally at ease with the very scary endeavor of obtaining a mortgage. I am self employed and Heather did a great job making it work for us to get approved.
I never had to wait long to hear back from Heather whenever I sent a question and she kept us informed about every step of the approval process.
She made a life-​long client in us. no question!
