Testimonials
Neighborworks Boise was absolutely amazing in my husband’s and mines loan process. We were set on another lender when we were referred to them. They were able to astronomically get us a much better deal and save us a lot of money. Patrick and Maile were super easy to work with. I was able to easily get papers to Maile and she always responded back very quickly! I had a lot of questions through the process and she never once made me feel like it was inconvenient for her to answer them. Their team is involved in the community and genuinely cares about helping people with their homes. I would 100% recommend anyone to them for their outstanding service.- Jessica Ortega
We just bought our first home and Neighborworks made it possible! In this unforgiving market, buying a home is a challenge for us locals.
If it wasn't for the many home loan programs and options they have, we just wouldn't have been able to do it....or would have been house poor.
The mortgage team is amazing and was always available to me for my many questions. 100% I would recommend exploring your home loan or refinancing needs with them. -Melissa Wedman
After my family and I moved here from Africa, we lived in a Neighborworks apartment complex then worked closely with Patrick on getting a loan for a new construction home. The People at Neighborworks were very nice from beginning to end, going above and beyond. -Samson
It exceeded our expectations- you knocked it out of the park with a super-fast close, getting a great rate, even monthly loan payments, and a large cashout amount. THANK YOU!!! - Dana
