Evan Swanson

My daughter recommended Evan for our real estate purchase. We did a 1031 exchange of rental property and Evan and his team were meticulous in making sure all paperwork was done on time. We really appreciated the weekly updates from Amanda letting everyone know how things were progressing. It was very helpful. Evan is a wealth of information also. If you need a mortgage broker, you can’t go wrong with Evan and his team.

Evan and his team were amazing. I’m an investor in Southern California that was trying to do a 1031 exchange for a multi-​unit property in Portland. With Evan’s help I closed on a 3 unit property quickly (critical for the 1031 exchange) and without complication. The attention to my file, constant updates and quick responses were unmatched to experiences I have had with other brokerage firms. Highly recommended.

I truly recommend Evan’s team for your mortgage because his team works with tremendous dependability. Evan has been informative about how to find the best rates. I enjoyed reading his newsletters while I prepared myself to purchase my house. He was always open to questions, and his prompt answers helped even before closing the sale. Once I started my serious house search, I realized how valuable his team was. I had no idea how quickly housing market moves with multiple offers for popular houses. His team moved as quickly as anyone could ask for. After my offer was accepted, each step was clearly explained and guided. I knew exactly what to do next.
A house is an important investment, and the purchasing process can be overwhelming. His team members provided professional
support with personable care which made the purchase of my house much more relaxed with less stress. They are an excellent team to work with.

Evan was an attentive and knowledgeable loan officer. Our purchase process was incredibly complicated, and difficult due to an utterly non compliant seller. Evan and his team were remarkable in their poise and ability to get things done. We closed on a great deal of a house and none of it would have been possible without Evan. I have previously worked in mortgage lending, and know first hand how difficult his job is. I would certainly return to Evan and Mortgage Trust for our future transactions. Thanks Evan!

I just bought my first house and when I started looking I asked my realtor if she could recommend anyone to assist with a mortgage. She recommended Evan and I feel very lucky that she did. Evan and his staff were always helpful and responsive and answered every question I had. Being a first time homebuyer I had a lot of questions and was nervous about being able to afford things. Evan ran different scenarios for me and walked me through multiple spreadsheets. He was always patient and explained everything. He provided great advice and excellent service. I highly recommend Evan and his staff if you are looking to purchase a home. You will not be disappointed!

Working with Evan was exactly how you want a complicated technical process to proceed: he was patient, gave us just the right amount of detail to make informed decisions, and always communicated in a timely and clear fashion. Purchasing a home is stressful enough and having this very important piece of the puzzle fit together so seamlessly was a real benefit. I would recommend Evan and his outstanding and dedicated staff to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Portland Metro area.

We had the pleasure of working with Evan Swanson and his group for loan approval for the purchase of our first home. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. From our first meeting to the last, Evan was informative, patient and professional in his explanation of everything, answering our questions and providing a comprehensive overview of the process from start to finish. We would not hesitate to recommend Evan to anyone who is looking for a trustworthy professional for this process. He gets the highest marks from us and we look forward to working with him again.

Evan did a terrific job with my mortgage — as a first-​time home buyer I was pretty confused by the process but hated the idea of hiring a realtor for what I saw as a largely legally-​oriented transaction. Evan gave me a complete checklist of what I needed to do, when I needed to do it & had excellent communication throughout the entire process. Ended up getting a great rate & more importantly a new friend. Will definitely use him again next time I move :)

Two years ago we purchased our second home and used Evan Swanson with Mortgage Trust after receiving a recommendation from a friend. He was exceptionally good! Our previous experience was a disaster. It is rare this day in age to receive good customer service, especially in the mortgage industry. But the follow through and commitment to excellence from Evan made buying a house was simple and superb!
Since purchasing our home we have called Evan to discuss family and small business financial matters with him. Evan is a Certified Financial Planner, as well, so his expertise is valuable when considering our entire financial plan. Buying a house is a big decision and we feel strongly that we consider all aspects of our finances before making that commitment. Evan has helped us immensely in this process. I feel confident that he offers advise for more than just purchasing a home, but helps you to evaluate your entire financial future, so that you can make good financial decisions. In today’s economy, this kind of honesty is refreshing.
With regards to his follow through, he is excellent at staying in touch and responding to your needs quickly. I don’t think I have ever waited for more than 24 hours for a response. Usually he responds to any inquiry within the same business day.
For your financial planning needs or mortgage, I can enthusiastically recommend using Evan Swanson with Mortgage Trust. You will not be disappointed.
