I had a good feeling about working with Chris when I first approached him regarding a rental property refinance. He was very direct on the phone and we almost immediately went into a detailed discussion in which he explained to me the steps, requirements and complexities involved in applying for one. Since then, I also found him very knowledgeable and competent at what he does.

Chris recently helped my sister with a complicated refinance of her investment property. I assisted by submitting all the necessary documentation online, and dealt with him on this transaction. Chris was so nice to work with as he was very patient with our questions and explained everything thoroughly. He was very responsive and also very solution-oriented. We really appreciated his help and highly recommend him!

Chris is the most dedicated, diligent professional, we have had the pleasure of working with. In 2012 Chris helped my husband and myself with a refi which was quite challenging due to our circumstances. With Chris's professionalism, knowledge and determination, he peeled back the layers of obstacles in obtaining our refi for us. As 100% satisfied clients, we knew there was only one person to ever handle another mortgage transaction for us.
With the low interest rates we decided to refi again. Although COVID brought on some hurtles, Chris's drive and work ethic did not disappoint. For us the process was seamless. We definitely recommend Chris as the "Best" mortgage professional.

Chris made it possible for me to purchase my new dream home! My transaction was somewhat complicated and I was somewhat nervous about the timing of everything. Chris responded very quickly to every email I sent to him. I had many questions and he was always more than happy to answer them. Chris was always very kind and extremely professional. I highly recommend Chris Baker!

Thank you Chris for making this all possible for me! If I could do ten stars I would!

Chris is just the best! I highly recommend him to anyone, I've worked with him on 5 mortgage loans (every time, either buying a house or refinancing) - I would never work with anyone else, he is patient, thorough, meticulous, and he truly does work for us and not the bank. It's a bonus that he also happens to be a really nice guy.

I worked with Chris to purchase my first home in 2017. He did a wonderful job explaining and walking me through the entire process, which made my experience much less stressful as a first time home buyer. Recently I worked with Chris ,for the second time, purchasing a new primary residence while maintaining the home I purchased in 2017. When buying a new residence with an existing home the loan process can be very challenging. Throughout the process Chris continuously kept open lines of communication and explained each challenge we faced in an attempt to keep worry and stress to a minimum. Even when I became extremely overwhelmed Chris remained professional and carried the process through to close my loan.

Chris handled my most recent re-finance as well as the one before that. Even for the most qualified applicants, the lending bank will make the loan process quite difficult. It is so important to have a broker that is knowledgeable about the processes and has good working relationships with the lenders. Chris has taken excellent care of my needs and is ALWAYS available to answer my questions or address my concerns. I appreciate everything he has done for me, Chris is a true professional.

Chris was able to get me through a very difficult re-financing. I had credit issues in the past and had a private lender that was hard to contact to determine the pay off.
Chris kept me informed throughout the process and assisted me in acquiring the necessary documentation.
I would recommend Chris due to his knowledge, work ethic , and his motto regarding working for you and not the lender is for real.

I've worked with many lenders before, none come nearly as good as Chris. He's professional, knowledgeable, courteous, patient, resourceful, available, and genuinely wants to help you to make it work. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

When we bought our 1st home 10 years ago, it was both exciting & overwhelming. Chris's positive attitude & ability to find the right loan product made our dreams of homeownership a reality. Two re-fis later, Chris is still passionate in finding the right options for our current needs by keeping us up to date with upcoming products. We highly recommend Chris to those looking for a dedicated & motivated loan officer for your special needs.

Chris Baker pulled off what other mortgage brokers were not able to do.
His thoroughness, motivation, positive "can-do" attitude and drive achieved completing an escrow in 18 days! This was a smooth transaction and he took the lead in making sure everything was handled. He allowed me a stress-free purchase and even worked off-hours to ensure my loan was complete and accurate.

If you want someone that knows the mortgage business, is dedicated to a start to finish completion process, finds the best mortgage deal for your needs, and works for you 24/7, then look no further, because Chris is the person you should hire!
