Robert Groves did an incredible job. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and prompt. He went over our options with us and helped us find the perfect fit.
September 7, 2022Hey everyone, I just wanted to say, when I started looking into buying a home I ran across this mortgage company, minuteman. They were the only ones... read more to return my call. Tai Star was amazing and gave me some great advice on how to get started in this process. He went through everything with me, step by step.

I highly recommend him to anyone who is getting started on the journey to home ownership! Thank you so much Tai Star

He will always be my Loan Guy. Love you man!!!!!! -Marlon

I am a veteran and needed to refinance my home. Tai Star has been one of the best agents we have ever worked with and got us a way better... read more rate then he originally quoted us. He went above and beyond when he drove out from Beaverton to our house for paperwork and signatures. Not just once but three separate times. I would highly recommend Tai Star. He is very personable and friendly. He truly cares about his clients.
September 7, 2021Tai Star is an amazing man who puts your best interest first. He is upfront and honest with every detail and explanation. He makes it personal but also professional. He... read more gave me honest, straight forward advise to direct me to the path that lead to my success. He has helped me go from a credit score in the 500s now over 750. He is not just a man helping me get a mortgage, he has treated me as a personal friend who is always looking out for me and explaining numbers, endlessly, until I understand. I am able to virtually watch his computer screen to show me the break down and every penny that will be accounted for when buying my house. He's taken many hours virtually showing and explaining all the different loan options and what loan would be the best and benefit MY situation. If you're struggling and feel like you will never be able to own your own home, Tai is your man! Tai is the person you want helping you, advising you, and on your side. I wouldn't be in this position without him. Thank you Tai for all the hours you've spent helping explain things in detail, making sure I understood without a doubt , always making me feel important and that I was your only priority, and giving me all the personal advice throughout the years. I would never put such a big purchase and life-changing event and anybody else's hands but Tai. He's my shining STAR.... Pun intended 😊

September 7, 2022Great experience with Brian. He really does go the extra mile to work with you and help. Not many people are willing to work with challenges, but that did not... read more stop Brian from staying on the phone for an hour to explain everything that needs to be done to get positive results.

Robert at Minuteman Mortgage is amazing! He is so knowledgeable, and was so patient with me during the (rather long and challenging) homebuying process. Robert made sure all was... read more done correctly, efficiently, and effectively, and was a pleasure to work with as well. I've bought a more than a few properties, and this was the first time I was so involved and informed about every step. It was also the first time I felt like someone was really looking out for my best interest. I cannot say enough about him - Robert really is THAT good!
September 7, 2021Tai's thoroughness and attention to detail are second to none in how he runs his business. One of the main reasons why clients love him is because of his... read more transparency with the entire process. He will do whatever it takes to ensure that his clients understand what is going on and answer any questions they may have. Tai takes the time to educate and teach about the mortgage process so that his clients feel confident and secure that they've made the right decision.
September 7, 2021We have been working with Tai for the last 5 years and every experience has been excellent. Once you establish the goal, Tai is responsive to questions, is clear on... read more what steps need to be taken and provides detailed instructions and education as needed along the way, supports you throughout the process, and he is a great communicator. We felt we were in good hands working with Tai on both a house purchase and a refinance. 10 out of 10 we would recommend him to any prospective mortgage seeker!
September 7, 2021It was incredibly easy to work with Brian. I had originally been curious about the home buying and mortgage processes, and called Minuteman Mortgage just to gain some insight as... read more a potential first time homebuyer. He is incredibly patient, easy to talk to, and is more than willing to take the time to answer my questions. I ended up applying to be prequalified to start the homebuying process and Brian had anticipated the rates would go up; he was able to secure me a rate before this happened, which was good because by the time I closed, rates had increased. Throughout the whole process, I didn't feel rushed or pushed to do anything, and when it was time to make a purchase, Minuteman Mortgage was very fast in taking care of the lending side of things. I closed early with a rate lower than the current rates, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome and my experiences working with Minuteman Mortgage. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to buy; they made the process easy and straightforward, which would otherwise be daunting as a first time home buyer.
