Valley Mortgage - always Superstars!

Once again (this the most recent transaction of many for us) the Valley Mortgage team found us an incredible refinance package and made it happen without even a speed bump. It is truly a joy to work with the VM folks. We like the local ownership and excellent personal service. We highly recommend them.

Kristin Sevald at Valley Mortgage

Kristin is very knowledgeable, helpful and great at her job! We were able to be preapproved, bought and closed on a house all without even meeting in person during Covid. We knew a week before closing that everything was good to go and that they didn't need any more information. I would highly recommend Kristin at Valley Mortgage!!! (plus she gave us the cutest housewarming gift!)

Great Company!!

Brian was so awesome to work with!! My husband and I found a house we absolutely loved the Friday before Easter weekend. He got in touch with us over the Holiday and got us pre-approved in record time so we could put an offer down on our dream home.

We highly recommend Valley Mortgage!

Couldn’t have asked for a better lender

Working with Kristin made the house buying process very easy. Her communication was phenomenal. She was always available when we had questions. She recommended an agent to us and it was a perfect match.

 

from Grafton, ND

You can’t find a better lender than Kristen.

Kristen made buying a home a walk in the park. She was approachable, friendly, and was always available when we needed her. The entire stigma of buying a home disappeared within minutes of meeting Kristen. Going over the entire purchase felt like talking to a friend and we are very grateful we had Kristen to make everything as easy as possible.

Jackie Hernandez from Grafton, ND

 Amazing!!

My husband and I had lived in our home for 17 years, so the process of buying a new home seemed a little overwhelming. We were referred to Angela at Valley Mortgage and she made the whole process so simple for us. She was very knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful to work with!!

Beto Haugen from Mapleton, ND

Very good company to work with!!

Brian was amazing and very helpful to work with!! I highly recommend working with him on your home loan!! When I had questions about my loan or what was needed, he was very good at getting back to me on the info needed!!

 

Jason Earley from Moorhead, MN

Can’t get any better!

Purchasing a home is probably the biggest investment you’ll make in your lifetime...so do yourself a favor and let Angie help you! I cannot stress enough how knowledgeable and patient she is! We worked with her as first time home buyers in 2012 and she took care to explain the mortgage process and helped us find the absolute best mortgage for our situation. We moved our home into its location and it was definitely not your typical buying-process! Our experience with Angie was so good, she was the first call we made after we sold our home and were looking to purchase again in 2019. She is absolutely amazing and I tell everyone I know about her, whether they’re in the market or not. Thanks again Angie! You and your team are amazing!

 

Cassie Schmidt from Horace, ND

Great Interpersonal skills, quick responses, and never felt pressured!

I highly recommend Brian Johnson. He presented us with options, answered our many questions, gave us competitive rates and never pressured us in our decision. He responded to emails and phone calls very quickly through the whole process. Although we had a few hiccups in our closing (none were his fault), he addressed and remedied them all before I had time to stress out about them. We were so glad we chose someone who was always prepared to field questions, explained the details of mortgage products, fees and services in laymen's terms and made what could have been an extremely stressful process go painlessly and smoothly! He also offered us the best rates!

 

E R Lundby from Moorhead, MN

Great Experience

Brian was great to work with as we were buying our new house. He worked with us to get the best rates and was always available. He kept us updated and made the whole experience as stress-free as possible.

Kristin Sevald

Kristin is amazing! she helped us with all the questions we had when we purchased our home! highly recommended! we went into our closing with no questions really because Kristin made sure we were taken care of.

Micaela from Fargo, ND

Simply Amazing!!

My wife and I had been trying to purchase a home for our family for 4 years. We were never quite able to find the right home so we decided to wait, and then out of the blue, the perfect home was found. On extremely short notice, about 12 hours or so, Angela was able to pull our old files and update our information to get us a new approval letter to put in an offer. She is quite amazing to work with and was always able to answer the questions that we had. I would recommend working with her to anyone who is looking for a lender who will take care of them and help make what can be a stressful time be more comfortable.

J T Carpenter from West Fargo, ND

Stress free, easy process!

I was purchasing a home on my own for the first time. Brian helped educate me when I had numerous questions. My price point was very important to me and Brian helped me find the best way to make it happen with the house I wanted to buy. Working with Brian and his team was definitely stress free and I had no surprises along the way.

Holly Lipp from Moorhead, MN

Excellent and flexible to work with.

Second time we have used Brian for the purchase of a home. He makes it easy, understandable and works within your work schedule for any in-office visits. He workes out a better payment than the financial institution I work for! I would highly recommend Brian for your mortgage needs.

Cameron from Moorhead, MN

Amazing

After consulting with a few lenders and being mislead, we were referred to Angela by family members. Being a first-time home buyer she was so helpful and made herself available whenever we had questions or concerns...Angela took her time to explain everything and looked out for our best interest. I would say that Angela is over the top at what she does… she made our first time buying a home a great experience.

Scott Tiffany from West Fargo, ND

Phenomenal customer service

Kristin was great to work with. From start to finish she made the whole process a lot less stressful for me! She is not one to sugar coat anything and tells you exactly where you are standing. She kept me in the loop during the whole process of buying a home. Fast response to emails or voicemails and I contacted her a lot. Will definitely send people her way if I know someone is needing a mortgage.

Kshouse from Fargo, ND

Couldn't have asked for a better lender!

Patient and knowledgeable. Kristin made the first time buying experience less scary. Always willing to answer questions. Crunched numbers (many times) to find the best rate for me. Truly a nice person and great to work with.

Sarah G from West Fargo, ND

Best Loan Originator in Town

From day one, Kristin was a down to earth person and appeared to be more interested in us and our situation rather than just our business. Kristin soon became our go-to contact with any questions that we may have had throughout the new home buying experience (believe me we had plenty of questions being first-time buyers). She not only took the time to respond to emails promptly, but did so no matter the time of day. We honestly would have lost a lot of sleep at night throughout this process if it had not been for her. She is someone I can confidently say is one of the best at what she does and she no doubt loves to do it. We were so lucky to have her and would love to recommend her to anyone looking to buy a new home. You're not just a number to her you are treated as a friend.

Walter Family from Horace, ND

Fantastic

Very professional. Hit a snag on my part but was very patient and didn’t rush the process. Very responsive to any questions and concerns we had. Would recommend to anyone.

Easy and stress-free experience

Kyle from Fargo, ND

Our experience

We had an amazing experience when purchasing are home. It is scary purchasing a new home, but Kristen was so positive and any hiccups that we had she would smooth out very quickly.

Lisa Dahl from Moorhead, MN

You know she’s good when...

Kristin responded to our questions sent via texts/emails promptly, and that included some after hours questions! During closing, the officer even commented that Kristin’s paperwork is great and they don’t ever have an issue...and we didn’t keep having to go back into our files for multiple documents! We had a list of what was needed and once those were sent, it was almost too easy!! Was such a pleasure to work with Kristin and I would highly recommend her!!

Jennifer D. from Valley City, ND

Great communication, proactive and fun to work with

Valley Mortgage Agent Kristen Sevald is very knowledgeable and easy to work with, assisting me through all the steps to get my loan processed.

I highly recommend her and Valley Mortgage.

JC Gregory from Fargo, ND

rbryn21 from Fargo, ND

Great Experience

Angie was so easy to work with! We were referred to her by our small-town banker and she didn't disappoint. She was very responsive to questions and helped us every step of the way, even when the sellers requested an earlier closing (2wks).

Angie and her team were able to get it all taken care of on the week of Christmas even! Hands down, the easiest mortgage experience we have had this far!

Sara J from Hatton, ND

I would recommend Kristin to anyone that needs help from a lender. 

She was super outgoing, spunky, and extremely generous. We wouldn't have been as comfortable with this process as we were if Kristin hadn't been working with us.

There wasn't anything that could have been better. Our lender was always extremely explanatory when it came to questions. She was always willing to work with us when we needed questions answered. Another thing that helped tremendously was that she would always be willing to meet us, and work with our schedules, which was really nice.

He continues to answer any questions we have had after closing! Thanks for all you do Brian!!

Great guy

Brian and his team are top-notch! I first worked with Valley Mortgage upon purchase of my first home in 2015. With a growing family and the need to purchase a bigger home, I knew right away we would reach out to a Brian again. He did not disappoint! He helped us obtain a VA loan, was timely, laid out all our options, answered all questions we had, and overall was excellent to work with throughout the whole process! I would highly recommend Brian and his team Valley Mortgage!
