My wife and I were looking to get into our first house and Kara had been talking with us for a few years. Once we finally got everything to line up right she was able to help us get the process started and in less than two months of applying for our loan we were completely moved into our own house. The process couldn't have been any easier.

Working with Kara from start to finish was so easy! All matters were handled quickly and professionally by her AND her staff. A high five for a job well done.

First Time Home Owner
I had been casually in contact with Kara for over a year about my options for purchasing my first home. She was always very helpful and willing to invest time in my questions, even though I wasn't entirely ready to buy just yet. When I was ready to go, my timeline to close the loan happened to be very short and over the holidays. Her team was able to secure me an excellent loan with a closing time of less than a month, over the holiday season. I was extremely impressed with her team's professionalism and would absolutely recommend Kara and her team to anyone looking to purchase a home.

Kara did a great job! This is the second home loan I have work through with her
and was equally pleased. She has exhibited a genuine consideration of my situation which was very different than the first transaction. In each, I found her to be available, knowledgeable and a no pressure advocate as she helped me to reach my goal. With great appreciation, Linda Durant

From start to finish Kara and her team were outstanding I had questions along the way and she was easy to reach by phone or text and always so gracious and professional in helping me through the process she was there when I bought the house and now with this line of credit I felt then and now with this line of credit that Kara had and has my best interest at heart ( and that’s what matters)

The whole process was so easy for me. Kara was attentive and helpful whenever I had any needs or questions and she even found a program that I qualified for a better loan. And if that wasn’t enough, I got a delicious Belgian chocolate from her.

This was our first time home buying experience. Kara was amazing, so patient and understandable with my hundreds of emails and calls. I'm sure she works with tons of people and I never felt like a number with her. I hope we get to work together in the future!

Working with Kara is great. We needed to solve a financial issue and when we reached out to Kara with our concerns she offered us a few options. Having Kara on our side, and having her look out for our best interests is refreshing and welcome.
We would not hesitate to recommend Kara to anyone for their financial needs.

Working with Kara took a very complex process, and made it simple and understandable. I very much appreciate her hard work and effort put in to make my desire to own a home possible. I could not have done it without her.

This is our third time working with Kara. As always, she was amazing. Even though we had purchased a home before (12 years prior) she explained the process and all of our different options and scenarios. She did this with patience and kindness. She would listen to my questions (often repeated) and answer so that I understood. I recommend Kara to anyone interested in a home purchase. Her communication and knowledge is remarkable!

Kara Berglund helped us out so much. We were buying a home lending the sale of our home. It took us several months to sell our house. Kara helped us making sure that our loan was ready to go when we were. We ended up being able to close 3 weeks after getting our offer. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a home loan.

Never will we use anyone else. I’m convinced she’s the best there is and I only have her as a reference level. It can’t get better.

Kara is very professional and efficient. She made my refinancing process very easy, she explained the process very well, clarified a lot of confusions I had before this process. She was very patient with my layman and stupid questions, answered them without being judgmental. She listened very well to my concerns and patiently worked with me throughout the process. She is an excellent one to work with, will recommend her to friends and family any day.

Thanks so much for everything. Our daughter and son-in-law were over the other night, when they asked us who we went through with HomeStreet Bank. We told them you! They then told us that they had gotten their mortgage through you as well! Small world, huh? Thanks again, Kara!
