I reached out to Mike while shopping around for loan options. He was upfront, easy to talk to, and took real time to walk me through current loan products and what to look for in competing offers. After reviewing everything, he told me honestly that a competing offer had terms too good to pass up for our situation, then gave me a strategy to reduce costs long term. That kind of care and integrity is so rare. I will definitely be coming back as we restructure in the future. Highly recommend reaching out to Mike as you begin your search and buying process!

Everyone should be so lucky as to work with Mike! I checked with four lenders and Mike found me the best rate and lowest closing costs of all. And he was so patient and informative and expedited the process at every moment. He is a great communicator and made it easy for me to know how to respond quickly all through the loan app process.

Mike Peacore held my hand all the way through my refinance from my initial exploration of the possibilities to the final wrap up procedures. He was responsive, helpful, and available to me whenever I had questions. Quite literally, I would not have been able to complete the process without him, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and assistance. Highly recommend!

I worked with Mike Peacore during my pre-approval and throughout the loan process, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Mike is super helpful, really friendly, and always available — whether it was early in the morning or late at night, he’d pick up the phone or reply right away. Anytime something came up, he got it resolved fast. He really knows his stuff too. Mike walked me through all the details, explained everything clearly, and made the VA loan process completely smooth. No headaches, no surprises, and closing was super easy because he stayed on top of everything. Mike also coordinated really well with my buyer agent and the closing team, which took a lot of stress off my plate. On top of all that, the rate and fees he got me were great. Overall, I had an awesome experience working with Mike and would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and knowledgeable lender.

My husband and I have worked with Mike on our first home mortgage and multiple refi's in the years since. He is always so helpful and responsive. He's a great communicator and makes you feel very supported through the entire process. I couldn't recommend working with him enough!

I had the pleasure of working with Mike on a recent second home purchase that will be used as a short-term rental, and I can’t recommend him enough. From a Realtor’s perspective, he was a true partner throughout the process. He answered the phone every time I called, had excellent communication, and made the transaction smooth from start to finish. Mike was also wonderful with my buyers—personable, professional, and easy to work with. It’s rare to find a lender who is both so responsive and genuinely great to collaborate with. I look forward to working with him again in the future!

I worked with Mike Peacore on my first home. I knew very little about securing a mortgage, but Mike guided me the whole way through the process, checking in on me frequently, and explaining every document and step of the process. I feel confident that the rate I landed on was the best in town and even more confident that I went with the best mortgage broker in town! He rates were way way WAY below the big banks too. Thank you Mike!!!

Mike made the mortgage process as pain free as possible! My last mortgage application experience was anything but -- I remember being on the phone with the loan officer constantly, always needing to push things along, correct errors, and generally being constantly frustrated. I felt confident leaving everything in Mike's hands. But Mike was always available at a moment's notice to answer any questions and to grease the wheels. He dealt with sometimes difficult situations so we didn't have to. Mike is well worth every penny! Thank you, Mike!

Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and super helpful. I needed help with a second mortgage refi, on a rental property. He took the time to help me even after I ended up using my credit union that I already had a relationship with. When it comes time for us to buy another property Mike is our man!

Mike offered the most competitive refinance program with the lowest interest rates and no closing costs for us. He was very helpful, responsive, and is definitely our go-to if we require his services again. We will be recommending him to friends and family!

We had a unique non-conventional situation, and Mike found options for us very quickly. He's collaborative, problem solving, and generous with his time and expertise - carefully explaining all the ins and outs of the scenarios and options. Extremely capable, and quick results - we highly recommend.

Mike has proven invaluable in my first-time home-buying experience. I've had many questions about many aspects of the process, and he's always been ready with an answer. He is prompt, informative, and resourceful. If and when I do this crazy, property-purchasing ritual again, it'll be him I message.

Mike Peacore and Blue Square Mortgage were great. The current process for obtaining a mortgage is daunting with increasing additional scrutiny from lenders amid a rising interest rate environment. Mike was with us all the way through the process, pointing out ways in which we could speed the process and save money through it all. He was always available, even nights and weekends and worked diligently to get us answers to questions we asked. I highly recommend Mike and Blue Square and if I ever need another mortgage, will call on him. He provides the sort of customer service you don't see anymore. He is fantastic!

We had a great experience working with Mike, and successfully completed a cash-out refi under less than ideal circumstances. He was communicative and professional, and rolled with the punches as we trudged through this while giving birth to our second kid. So far, Mike is the best mortgage lender in Seattle that we’ve worked with.

Mike Peacore is the most helpful person I have ever met. We were first time home buyers in 2020 and Mike talked us through everything. He would send us a document and instead of us reading through it alone, he would call us and go through it together. Every step was so easy with Mike. When we were confused about anything or had questions Mike was there with an answer or the connections to find the answer. AND...This week 3 years after we bought our home, we had questions about our escrow and property taxes. We called Mike and a problem we dealt with for over a year was settled in a few hours because Mike is that good. He is kind, helpful, resourceful, and even gave me a recipe when I told him I liked to bake but am newly GF. He is just an amazing person, and your home buying experience will be smooth sailing if you use Mike at Blue Square Mortgage.

Mike is 100% the person you want to go too for your mortgage needs. I had a tough lending situation and he did not stop working on my case until he was able to resolve my lending requirements. He will dig in and research for the best mortgage options for your specific situation and needs. I love to work with someone like Mike. He really put forth time and effort as if he was getting himself a mortgage. 5 stars for Mike all day.

We refinanced our mortgage with Mike and recommend him highly! He found us by far the best rate around, and walked us through every step of the process in a friendly and accessible manner. He explained things to us when needed, and was always thinking a step ahead to make sure the process went smoothly and there were no surprises. We feel lucky to have worked with him. Thank you, Mike!
