Fixed Rate Mortgage

Fixed-rate mortgages provide consistent monthly payments with interest rates that remain unchanged throughout the loan term. This option offers financial predictability for homeowners in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. Our team helps clients select optimal 15-, 20-, or 30-year terms based on their long-term financial goals and current budget considerations.

FHA Loan

FHA loans offer accessible homeownership opportunities with low down payment requirements and flexible credit standards. Ideal for first-time buyers in the Pacific Northwest, these government-insured mortgages require as little as 3.5% down. We guide clients through FHA loan qualifications and help maximize their purchasing power.

VA Loan

VA loans provide exclusive benefits for veterans and active military members, including $0 down payment options. Our specialists process these specialized mortgages with expertise in ODVA and national VA loan programs. We ensure military families receive maximum benefits while meeting all eligibility requirements.

Jumbo Loan

Jumbo loans accommodate high-value properties exceeding conventional loan limits. Available across our service areas, these mortgages require specialized underwriting. Our brokers connect clients with competitive jumbo loan options while maintaining strict compliance with evolving lending standards.

Refinance

Mortgage refinancing helps homeowners reduce monthly payments, access equity, or adjust loan terms. We analyze current market conditions to determine optimal refinance timing. Our process includes cash-out options and streamlined refinancing programs for qualified borrowers.

Couldn't have asked for a better first time home buying experience. Matt was responsive, professional, and personable. I won't be buying a home anywhere else. Thank you Matt!

Matt was amazing. We put bids on several houses and he was there every step of the way. He was able to get us closed in 30 days and made the process seamless as we were doing everything from another state. Great rates and was able to get us through in a challenging situation!

Matt and his team again helped us through a refinance with such professional care. Associated Mortgage Brokers is the ONLY place we consider when buying or refinancing. Matt makes us feel so comfortable in the process. We know we will be treated honestly and kept abreast of current information along the whole way.

I actually found Matt by googling Best Mortgage Broker in Oregon. He had over 20 - Five Star reviews. Matt was very responsive and communicative. Being able to schedule a call on his website actually worked out wonderfully. I love the ease of being able to upload all necessary documents through a secure web portal and being kept apprised of exactly where we were throughout the entire process. Matt was so friendly that it was almost like wed known him for years. I cant recommend him highly enough.
