Testimonials

I highly recommend Acadia Lending Group! I am a first time home buyer and Kristeen made the process easy and understandable. She is very knowledgeable and guided me through the whole process. I am a very happy new homeowner! Thanks to Kristeen and her Team!

Kristeen has helped me with my last three home loans and she makes everything very easy and painless. Great person to work with who can help understand each situation and come up with the best solution to fit every need. I recommend her to everyone I know looking for mortgage needs!

I couldn't have asked for a better person than Kristeen to help with my mortgage lending needs. Considering my financial situation and the time frame in which to make the purchase, I know I was probably high maintenance. That didn't bother her, she just wanted to help. Myself and my family thank you Kristeen and we thank First Portland Mortgage Corp.

Kristeen was great to work with in purchasing our home. She was professional, quick to respond to questions, and worked hard to changing factors during the process. Would recommend to all friends and family.

I’ve always been very satisfied working with you knowing I’m getting the best rates possible with minimal closing cost compared to others. My son and daughter in-law are also very happy with the rate and minimal PMI you were able to get them. Thank you for helping them out.

Where to even start with Kristeen!!! I absolutely LOVE her! Her dedication to her clients, the experience, and outstanding communication and knowledge of the industry delivers such an incredible experience it truly is second to NONE! If you ever need to refinance or help with obtaining your first home please do yourself the favor and reach out to Kristeen! She will take care of you :)

Kristeen is far and away the best mortgage broker I have had the pleasure to work with. Her tenacity and professionalism are second to none. We highly recommend.

Our broker Kristeen was the most amazing professional. She had answers to everything sometimes even before I asked the question. Her availability is pretty much 24 hours. She is very detailed oriented. The rates we were offered were very competitive. They beat the other two offers we received. Again, a pleasant experience I would highly recommend.

Kristeen Smith is one amazing lady! She assisted me through my very first home buying process. She had gone above and beyond, was always available to answer any questions I had, and the extreme knowledge to offer me a precise answer. It was a pleasure working with her. Truly a smooth process and she will always be highly recommended. Thank you Lender Ninja!

Kristeen, thank you for all your effort involved in our obtaining a new mortgage. Just yesterday, I confirmed direct payment via our bank account with United Wholesale Mortgage. It was a pleasure dealing with your integrity and honesty. When I started to deal with the big elephant in the mortgage universe, I was not sure how successful refinancing might be. And thank you for your patience.

This is the second time I have worked with Kristeen Smith and if ever needed, I would work with her a third time. I have referred others to her regularly as well. A mortgage is one of your largest life financial decisions you will make. For me, it’s imperative the lender treats my money as though it is their own. This includes providing me with information to make an educated decision, ensure that I meet all required deadlines, and provides a reasonable amount of communication and responsiveness. Kristeen not only provides all of this, she is also able to guide you in the right direction, maintains a high level of professional courtesy, and will be ahead of an issue so it does not become an issue. Her attention to detail and quality are unmatched. I have not met a lender who is her equal all the things that matter. Thank you for making the process as simple and efficient twice over and for your level of engagement and customer service. You are very much appreciated.

Thanks for all the pre-work and planning that made this happen for us. This is going to make a big difference in our budget. Kristeen, glad we were able to work with you again. You always come thru and go the extra mile for us. Thank you!

Jeff was great to work with. He was friendly, timely, and efficient. We would certainly work with him again!

First Portland Mortgage Corp. was exactly what we were looking for in our loan origination. Jeff Davison was the right Mortgage Loan Officer...clear in his assessment of our needs, interpreting market data and walking us through the process. Step-by-step, our experience was very smooth and we were notified of market ebb/flow so we could make the most informed decision. Jeff and the office team were ready to address all of our questions and made us very happy we chose First Portland Mortgage Corp

My experience using First Portland was amazing. I chose to work with them on a recommendation and could not be more happy with the prompt services they provided. I had a lot of questions as a first time homebuyer and I always got answers quickly and really were above and beyond to make sure it was right for me. Thank you, Kristeen!

It was great. Kristeen went above and beyond what was expected of her. Would recommend others to go through First Portland Mortgage

I want to personally say how wonderful both our experiences were with Kristeen. She made it go so smoothly and I never once felt anxious about paperwork. Thank you again!!

I wish I could click on a hundred stars. Jeff Davison and First Portland helped me every single step through the mortgage process. Frankly, I don't think I could have made it without his assistance. Friendly, extremely helpful, and proactive is how I would describe Jeff. First Portland is fortunate to have Jeff and I would highly, highly recommend him and First Portland to anyone and everyone

I had a great experience working with Kristeen!

Kristeen did a fabulous job managing the many moving parts during our closing process which spanned the Christmas 2018 and New Years 2019 holiday. We are very happy with her expertise and would recommend her to any home buyer! John and Lori Rand April 2019

Overall I was very pleased with my experience. Kristeen was super helpful and very knowledgeable. I appreciated her timely responses to my questions and the insights she provided on the closing process that weren't technically related to the mortgage/financing

Kristeen is very professional and easy to work with. She makes what could be a difficult process go smoothly. I have done, I think three refinancing with Kristeen and if I do a fourth I will be working with Kristeen

I had a great experience with First Portland Mortgage building my first home! Kristeen is extremely helpful! I'll be back to build my second home soon! Thank you

Kristeen was amazing! I've refinanced many times previously, and she was absolutely by far, hands down, the best. Knowledgeable, immediately responsive, patient, friendly, fun--a sheer joy with whom to interact. All mortgage lenders should be as special as Kristeen.

Kristine Smith was great to work with on our refinance! I would highly recommend working with her and would work with her again if needed.

It was a pleasure to work with Kristeen on our refinance! She was very responsive and everything went quickly and smoothly.

Hi Kristeen, I want to thank you for all your help from afar. You did a great job. We very satisfied with the results. Keep up the good work.

Awesome guy, incredibly helpful, and as honest as they come. Have gone to Jeff twice now and would go to him again!

Kristeen made it very easy to refinance. I felt a positive business relationship from the first phone conversation. Not having to meet in person at all was both convenient for my work schedule and good practice for COVID19 safety. I was happy to be able to work with a local business.

Kristeen was the absolute best. Top notch customer service, professionalism, and attention to detail. Highest recommendation. We feel so fortunate that we connected with her and she guided us through the process from the first consultation through closing. Thank you!

I just completed my second mortgage with Jeff in two years. He has been incredibly responsive and at this point Jeff is the only mortgage broker I'd do business with.

I was extremely pleased with my loan process with First Mortgage. Kristeen Smith went above and beyond to help me clear all the hurdles involved with my loan. I was under pressure due to a large balloon payment that was to come due in April 2020, now the stress is gone and I can enjoy my home, thanks to Kristeen. Whenever we came to a road block she worked with me to resolve it. Kristeen was professional but also seemed to take a personal interest in helping me achieve my loan.

Kristeen Smith is always a pleasure to work with. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, incredibly helpful, and can I say has the patience of a Saint?!! We could not have gotten through the 2 mortgages without her. She is the only reason we are now in a much better home that we can finally call home. You are so lucky to have her!

100% Satisfaction. Kristeen was fantastic to work with. She was quick to respond and made what can typically be a daunting, overwhelming process simple and enjoyable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a mortgage.

5 Stars

This was our second mortgage working with Kristeen Smith. She is always very helpful, a great communicator, and gets the job done. We did most of our actions via email, which works for me, and she came to our house when some papers needed signed. I would work with her anytime again in the future!

Hi Kristeen! Thank you for all your help in providing a smooth refinance process! With your guidance I found it to be pain free and appreciate your efforts along the way to smooth out any hiccups.
