Working with him brought immediate feedback and momentum towards getting our offer in place and successfully under contract. He was always available and gave us his undivided attention. Following contract, his team was exceptional. Heather Affolter was incredibly organized and thorough which made our work minimally burdensome. I would refer Tom Stark to anyone wanting to work with the very best.

“I have had the pleasure of working with Tom to get financing for many buyers and salvage sales on my listings if the lending has fallen thru with another Bank or Mortgage Company. Tom has been able to close even the toughest loans that other lenders would not. Tom has many years of experience and understands how to package the loan for several lending institutions. He does not take no for an answer and has the ability to find the right solution for his clients. Tom is professional and takes his role in his client’s financial matters very personally. I recommend Tom to anyone that is looking to purchase a home or refinance.

Craig AardahlPast Client
“Tom. Thank you! Everything worked out just as you said it would. We are very happy with our new residence and grateful for the great guidance and service you provided. Working with such a large amount of money (to us anyway) is a scary proposition (as is owning two homes at once), and it is not easy to place one's confidence in someone never met in person. George suggested we call you. We did, and we can now understand why you are so highly recommended by the people you work with.
