Team Aalto is wonderful!  They guided me through every step of the process.  They explained everything in terms I could understand.  They made me feel a part of their team, with encouragement to cheer me on and made me feel like their most valuable client!  They were even able to close two weeks ahead of schedule, due to a health situation with the seller of the home I was buying!!!   I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to finance a home

I found Mark Aalto and his team through Yelp last year, and am so happy I did! We purchased a home with Bonnie Roseman as our realtor (also amazing!!) and relied on Mark and his team to guide us through the intricacies of the mortgage process. Mark was such a kind and thorough communicator, who took the time to talk us through the whole process very thoughtfully. Team Aalto also totally hustled for us, so we were able to close within four weeks. I highly recommend Mark and his team, especially for first time homebuyers who need help with the process.

Mark and his team are absolutely incredible. Buying a house in Portland is stressful and scary- unless you have a team of people as good as Mark’s. We were referred to Team Aalto by our realtor and we feel so lucky to have had them taking care of our loan. My husband and I were delighted from our very first conversation with Mark and throughout the whole process we met a small handful of equally friendly people who explained everything to us in a way we could fully understand. I work in the film industry and I don’t work on any one production for longer than 8 months which can be tricky when applying for a loan. Team Aalto understood immediately the nature of my job and they were the only company we reached out to who didn’t require a co-signer. We were impressed with the professionalism, communication, accuracy and urgency they displayed.

Thank you so much Mark and team, we love our first home!

My relationship with team Aalto goes back 14 years, when I purchased my first home. I was given his name by the seller and I called on a Saturday afternoon to leave a message. I was delightedly surprised when Mark called me back 30 minutes later. Mark has always understood my needs and with the teams he has assembled over the years, there was always someone ready to answer and handhold us through moments that caused us panic.  Overall, Mark has helped my wife and I with 3 finance deals. If I have a regret, its that I went elsewhere last time to save money. The deal was nearly botched less than 24 hours before we signed. Something like this would have never happened with Mark and his team. I’d will next time invest the money and stick with someone who cares about me.

I have used Summit Funding twice for obtaining loans.  They have  consistently provided excellent service with very clear instructions and lots of support.  I worked with Mark Aalto and Adrian Schermer who are friendly, informative, thorough and deliver what they promise.  I got a loan for the rate that we agreed, which is very important to me.  The process did not take very long and they did not require an unreasonable amount of documents.  I really appreciated phone calls to let me know essential steps I needed to take and throughout the process, I felt that they were on top of things and I did not need to worry.  I highly recommend Summit Funding and I will continue to use them if I need further loans.

We have worked with Mark on two separate mortgage transactions – the first as first time home buyers, the second on a refi. His professionalism, knowledge of the industry and humor made both transactions very pleasant experiences. We will absolutely use him again.

Mark and his team are amazing! We have used them for all our mortgage needs and more! He goes above and beyond to find the right answers for the trickiest of situations. He is a leader in a owning change – when the real estate market went boom/crash he was at the forefront educating Real Estate Agents and others about the changes in the lending industry. He will never sit back and let things happen, he will seek, find and conquer! Thank you Mark and team!!

I truly believe that Mark and his team are angels sent from above and they do amazing work …. he was able to make our dreams come true when we thought we were not going to be able to get our first house that we had worked so hard to get as we had been through so much …. and yet Mark made it happen …. kudos to him and his team and I will NEVER forget what he did for us…..

Mark and his team went above and beyond for us while in the process of buying our first home. I HIGHLY recommend them if you are looking to finance a home purchase. Thanks Mark!

I can’t say enough about Mark and his partner, Sara. A recent first timer in refinancing and the experience was such a positive one because of them. Mark walked me through all concerns and answered all my questions every step of the way.

I never once felt pressured. The process was effortless (for me) and flawless. Everything was done promptly, professionally, and there was continual communication and clarity when needed. They are great at follow through and simply understand the human side of this industry. I eagerly tell my friends when the subject matter comes up and will continue to so. I would go to these guys in a heartbeat and will for sure go to them in the future. Again, I can not say enough about these guys. Thank you Team Aalto. You are absolutely awesome.

Mark worked with us on our last two home purchases. We couldn’t have been any more pleased with the service his team offered along with the loan packages they were able to secure on our behalf. Their high level of professionalism coupled with their personal touch allowed us to focus on the excitement of buying a home versus stress on the details of the transaction. Mark and his team including Sara are world-class all the way around! We have recommended them to other friends and they too enjoyed the incredible service we have come to expect from Team Aalto! Give Mark a try, you will not be disappointed.

My mortgage refinance went smoother than I had ever hoped; and that’s because of Team Aalto! It seems there are always hitches and road blocks when it comes to refinancing a home. Mark and Sara kept me in the loop every step of the way and every barrier was overcome. The financing package offered me exceeded my expectations. If you choose Team Aalto, you’ll not be disappointed.

I can’t say enough about my experience with Mark and his team. The first time I met with Mark, several months before I sold my old house and bought a new one, I was struck by his knowledge and efficiency, and, most of all, his warmth. Through the long and difficult process of selling my home of 21 years, Mark kept in touch, just to tell me he was thinking of me and hoping things were going OK. His emotional support was very important to me. Then when it came time to get a loan, Mark did the research to find me a grant program that got me a rate I didn’t think was possible. He explained everything in a clear manner. I came away believing — knowing — I’d gotten the best deal possible. I can’t say enough positive things about Mark and his team. I highly recommend them.
