Mike Certo and his team are very thorough and help you through every step of the way. I started with a very challenging situation and he coached me through it. His team did not omit one detail.
Gentlemen (and of course Denise), I was just notified that I have my final loan approval, which is very, very exciting for me! I wanted you know how much I appreciate your hard work and that I have completely enjoyed working with all of you… you’re a great team! You made the loan experience much less painful than I remember! Thanks again everyone… I just can’t tell you enough!

It was a very impressive experience. The fluidity of the team and keeping everyone connected was just above standards. I will definitely be referring this company to others and boast of how smooth the process was

One of my friends talked to me about the program where they help to buy a house. In the beginning, I did not believe this would be for me. I looked around to find a company that could help me to find my way to get approved. Fairway finance showed in my search, I applied, and what a big surprise, Jason Cox contacted me and asked for all my information. A few days later, he told me I got approved, and from there everything moved very smoothly. Now with the down payment assistance, I receive from Fairway Independent company my daughter and I have our own place to live. With the money I make, this dream will be impossible to make the down payment for my house. Thank you so much to Fairway Independent Mortgage and Jason Cox for all the great help I received from them.

I would highly recommend Michael Certo and his highly knowledgeable and professional associates who guided me every step of the way through my loan process. They worked very hard behind the scenes, and helped me keep my sanity (HA!). But really... buying a house is a very stressful time; Michael and his associates kept the stress level very low for me and I cannot tell you how much that was appreciated! I would highly recommend Michael Certo and Fairway Independent Mortgage Company! -Linda W

My husband and I found out about the Down Payment Assistance Program after our realtor referred us to The Certo Team. After going over the different programs available, we decided that the Down Payment Assistance Program would be best for us. We are so grateful because it helped us get into our first home without wiping out our savings on a down payment. The Certo Team made the process simple and enjoyable! Thank you so much.

This company has done an outstanding job! Our realtor had recommended a few lenders and it was simple to choose them from the others the moment we started this loan process. Our point of contact, Jason Cox was always very helpful, quick to respond and did everything he could to help us obtain a loan, even when there were some bumps along the way, Jason continued to find a way to make things work. Everyone on their team was knowledgeable in the process and kept us in on the loop of how things were moving along. He was always available if we had a question and his entire team made the process an enjoyable one. I would highly recommend working with this team and would recommend them without hesitation.

Michael's team is terrific. Things went like clockwork. This is my first time buying a home and they made it a painless, straight forward process. When I had questions (and there were a lot!)...they met them with patience, understanding and I was always satisfied. Our personalities meshed as well, which is always nice. Very easy to do design...such a time saver. Shout out to Jason Cox and Terri Underwood for outstanding service. Thanks for making my first home buying adventure a great one!

My husband and I went through Michael's team at Fairway Independent Mortgage and they honestly made a very hectic housing purchase situation very easy (and dare I say it - enjoyable!). Our loan officer was Jason Cox and our coordinator was Terri Underwood. Can't say enough about how awesome they were and how willing they were to put in extra hours and answer every question we had. They also pushed our file through very fast as they knew we needed to close on our new house under a tight timeline. The other really awesome thing was they had automated e-mails that went out (in addition to their personal communication) whenever our loan moved into the next step of processing that gave very clear information about what happens next and the expected timeline. Even though this was our second home purchase, I still learned a great deal about the process and was never surprised by anything that came up. ***Extra bonus - Terri even responded to my e-mails during night hours and while she was on vacation! Can't recommend this team enough.

If your looking to buy a new home may I suggest Fairway Mortgage. I mostly worked with Micheal Freidhoff and Brian Fink through the process but everyone I spoke with from the team were very professional and friendly. The credit team worked with me and explained how to increase my credit score to qualify for a 4% gift funds from the Home in 5 Program instead of the 3%. I closed on my home today! I could not be happier!!!! I received almost $8000 towards my loan that I do not have to repay. The folks at Fairway are AWESOME!!!!! If you want knowledgeable helpful, friendly, responsive service while buying a home call Fairway Mortgage.

Michael's team is the best in the west! I specifically dealt with Christian Dieterle and Brian Fink and could not have asked for better service. Their responsiveness and attentiveness were a huge blessing to me during my first home buying process. I will always contact Michael's team and refer others! The transaction was the smoothest process ever!!
Thanks Guys!!

Mike Friedhoff was my loan officer. He stayed with me from the prequalification to the close of my home loan. He always seemed to be available to answer my questions no matter the day of the week. His team walked me through the whole process and thoroughly explained exactly what I needed to do and when it needed to be done. They were very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

This has been my first experience purchasing a home and I just want to say that Mike has made my experience so pleasant. Mike and his team are very knowledgeable and took the time to teach me everything I wanted to know more about, even things I didn't lol. They made the process very smooth, offering the smartest advice, sometimes showing me they cared more about my happiness than "closing a loan". For this and many other reasons, I'll remain a loyal customer. THANKS!!!! l

I worked mostly with Jason Cox, but the whole team was super. I can't say enough good things about them. Very knowledgeable and responded quickly to all my questions and concerns. Absolutely the best experience I have ever had purchasing a home.

Mike Certo and his team are amazing to work with. Mike is very quick to respond to any calls and have made both me and my clients feel like we were getting VIP service at everyone point in the transaction. Mike has been excellent at following through on potential buyer's pre-qualification needs and I would highly recommend him and his team to any real estate agent looking for a reliable, knowledgable and extremely professional lender to recommend to clients. He takes the time to get to know the real estate agents he works with, helps with marketing ideas and provides solid advice to help you grow your business!

MIKE FREIDHOFF AND TEAM WERE EXCELLENT
I had a great experience with Fairway. I worked with Michael Freidhoff and his team and they were very helpful in my home buying process. They were eager to answer all my questions, and even Mike went over the contract documents by each line item explaining to me what each breakdown meant. The response time was very quick and I was super grateful that this process wasn't as stressful as some of my friends home buying process. I would definitely recommend Fairway to my friends and family.

Best lending team in the state
Whether your a first time buyer or frequent home buyer, Michael and his professional team make home buying very easy. Even though I had issues on my end of the deal, Michael and his team made it very easy process for myself. The best part of this team is that they are direct and straight forward with all their information. Great team to work with and recommend them to anyone!

Look No Further
Mike and his team are incredibly professional in every way. They took the time to explain the loan process and helped me find the best options that fit my needs. I was referred to them by two other people and am so glad I listened to them. If you want a high level of customer service and personal attention I would recommend going with Mike!

Excellent service!!
I had a phenomenal experience working with Michael Freidhoff and his team. From the very first phone call, I was confident in using Fairway for my home buying needs. Communication was clear and concise and I was always kept in the loop of what the next steps would be. Anytime I had a question, it was answered within a matter of hours. They also worked very well with my realtor. Buying a home as a single mom seemed to be a very overwhelming process but in working with Fairway, all of my stress melted away. I highly recommend Michael Freidhoff and Fairway Mortgage for anyone's lending needs.
