Mike did a great job. He got everything done in such a short amount of time. It was great working with Mike and with Creekside Mortgage. If I ever need this service again I will use Creekside.  I have recommended Creekside to all my friends.  Thank you guys. Great service

Mike Frakes has outdone himself once again. My wife and I were lucky to find Mike back in 2007 and knew from the get go we'd request his wisdom and customer service the second time round. Mike is trustworthy and always looks after the best interest of his clients throughout the entire process. He and his team were dedicated to making our dream a reality. He thinks of you and your family every step of the way, and that alone is enough for me.

All I can say is Creek side Mortgage is an amazing company to work with. They really know how to go the extra mile for you. When I first bought my first home 2 years ago, my realtor recommended me to a man name Mike Frakes who works for Creek side Mortgage. The minute I met Mike I could tell he truly cared about getting me into a home I could not only afford but knew I wouldn't regret buying. Just recently I refinanced my home through Mike. And once again I can proudly say Mike really knew how to be there for me. I now have a great monthly mortgage rate I'm happy with, and at the same time I got some stressful finances lifted off my shoulders. Thank you so much Mike for being there for me. Also thank you Creek Side for being there for me as well. You guys are amazing, and I currently and will always recommend you to anyone who's looking to buy a home or refinance.   Sincerly.   -Nick Badalamenti-

This is my 2nd experience with Creekside Mortgage and they were both great!! Both times I worked with Mike Frakes on my loans. He knows everything there is to know about VA loans, regular loans, etc... You can tell when you walk in the door that Mike and everyone there really cares about their customers. My first loan was in '07 or so and Mike was able to help me out with a refinance that I thought I could never do. Flawless and seamless. I contacted Mike again not too long ago because we were looking to refinance again. He remembered me like we had just spoke the other day. That was a great feeling and a very welcoming feeling. Just like the first loan, Mike did an awesome job on this one as well. My wife and I could not be happier and are beyond pleased with Mike and everyone at Creekside Mortgage. I would highly recommend them for any type of home loan whether it's a new house or a refinance. You won't regret it.
Thanks Mike!!!

Mike Frakes is simply one of the best to work with in securing a mortgage or refinance loan. He goes the extra mile and leaves no stone unturned in doing his job. We have gone to see Mike more than once and have referred family members to see him and we certainly wouldn't do that if we didn't feel confident in Mike and Creekside Mortgage. We highly recommend him and wouldn't hesitate seeing him again for our next mortgage needs.

This is the second time that my husband and I have worked with Mike Frakes as our mortgage specialist. To say the least, he was wonderful to work with. My husband is a veteran, and Mike was able to seamlessly help us navigate the VA loan process! He was available by email or phone with any questions we had, and he was very accommodating to my schedule (I work night shift as a nurse,and needed to meet either early in the morning or late afternoons). It was comforting to know I could ask tons of questions, and that Mike would get back to me within a few short hours. Mike also worked behind the scenes quite often with our realtor, Robin Conrad. They were an amazing team, and made our selling & buying process so incredibly easy. I couldn't be happier with Mike and Creekside Mortgage, my husband and I both highly recommend this great team!

My wife and I recently moved to the Portland,Oregon area from the East Coast to be close to our family. Our original intention was to live in a apartment but after six months decided that apartment living was not for us. We found our dream home in the Portland suburbs and were referred to Mike Frakes at Creek Side Mortgage of Vancouver,Washington to secure a mortgage. Mike’s knowledge, attention to detail and personal touch was instrumental in our securing the right type of mortgage for us. Based on his performance and our experience with him we would refer Mike and Creekside Mortgage.

Dear Mike and Debbie,
I wish to thank you for helping me buy my new home using my Veteran Home Loan. You took the time to explain what he process was all about, and requested the proper forms in order to get me started. You got all the other Veteran Administration forms and approvals together and kept me informed along the way. I really appreciate the price range you gave me and locking my loan in at a great rate. Being retired, this helped me know what I could comfortably afford. Outstanding service. I will have no problem in recommending you and Creekside Mortgage to any Veterans seeking to use their Veteran Home Loan. Again, thank you for your professionalism and especially for taking care of our Veterans.
