Our journey to buying our new home was anything but simple, and looking back, having Mike as our loan officer and advisor throughout the process was one of the best decisions we made.
My wife and I started this journey simply looking at homes and trying to figure out exactly what we wanted. Along the way, Mike became part of our team and played a key role in much more than simply getting us approved for a mortgage. We faced several challenges and changes throughout the process, but Mike never wavered in being there for us. He remained responsive, consistent, and willing to provide guidance whenever his expertise could help.
One of the things I appreciate most about Mike is his transparency. His goal has always been to make sure we had the information necessary to make our own decisions. He listens to what you want, respects your decisions, and works for you, but he also isn’t afraid to tell you what his experience has taught him or point out something you may not be considering.
That became especially important when we decided to purchase a new construction home.
Mike warned us early on about some of the tactics we might encounter when dealing with builders and preferred lenders. He taught me not to look at an incentive simply as free money or assume the biggest incentive automatically makes something the best financial decision. Instead, he encouraged us to ask why an incentive is being offered, what comes with it, and how it fits into the entire transaction.
Mike may not always be able to match every incentive another lender is offering, and he is upfront about that. What you gain in return can be much more valuable: transparency, experience, independence, and someone who is genuinely working on your behalf.
That lesson became very real for us. What should have been an exciting new-build purchase turned into a surprisingly challenging sales process. Many of the things Mike had educated us about beforehand suddenly weren’t hypothetical anymore. Having someone outside of that process who understood financing, understood the market, and could help us separate the noise from what actually mattered was incredibly valuable.
What I respect most is that Mike never tried to control our decisions. He educated us. He gave us his professional opinion, explained the potential risks and benefits, listened to what my wife and I wanted, and ultimately let us make the decisions that were right for our family.
Buying a home is one of the largest and most complicated financial decisions most people will ever make. Rates and incentives absolutely matter, but after going through this process, I believe who you have advising you matters just as much.
Mike wasn’t just our loan officer. He became a trusted member of our team throughout a long and sometimes challenging journey. From helping us understand the market and our financing options to preparing us for what we could encounter with a new build, his experience played a key role at several points along the way.
If you’re looking for someone who will simply tell you what you want to hear, Mike probably isn’t that person. If you want someone who will listen to you, educate you, be transparent with you, and make sure you understand what you’re agreeing to before you make a major financial decision, that’s where I believe Mike really stands apart.
My wife and I are incredibly grateful that Mike was there throughout the entire journey. We ended up needing his experience and advice far more than we ever expected when we started, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Mike again or recommend him to someone preparing to buy a home.

Brett was a delight to work with. He made the paper work process easy for the loan approval and helped navigate a 1031 exchange. He was responsive with his questions and his website so you can see what documents needed to be signed was very automated. He also communicated closely with my realtor - Tucker graham that I would recommend as well with Montana life real estate.
