From start to finish, the entire process was remarkably smooth and efficient – the most streamlined I've encountered in my experience. This is a testament to your team's dedication to providing outstanding service. In particular, the customer service and communication were truly exceptional.

Repeat Customers - Completely Satisfied!

Marjory and Allison are the best of the best! We worked with them for the purchase and the sale of a home in December 2024 and Jan 2025 and again in August 2025 for a refi. They are hands down the most knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive in the industry. We are grateful to partner with such amazing ladies when dealing with major life events/purchases.

I worked with Erik and Tera on my refinance and they were outstanding. The process was smooth from start to finish and they kept me informed every step of the way. Both were professional, responsive, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled quickly and correctly. I couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with. I’ll definitely be using them again on future deals.

RJ was wonderful

RJ was wonderful! My husband and I were purchasing a home from across the country and RJ went the extra mile for everything. He was available when we needed him and explained the process as we went through and made sure everything ran seamlessly. He definitely did what he could to take the stress out of the whole process for us, which given our situation was so helpful and much needed.

What made this great experience so special, Randy understood my situation and worked diligently with my sources of income. Unlike others who might have turned me down or rejected me outright, Randy was committed to helping us find our very own home.He and his team were willing to give me the chance to become a first-generation homeowner. If I ever get the opportunity again, I would definitely do it with Randy and his team. Oh, and I can’t forget the outstanding communication I received throughout this entire journey.

Absolutely terrible customer service

Absolutely terrible company to deal with. They ask for some much info, it is scary. Then, there are so many people involved in the decision making process, nobody there has a clue as to what is going on. 2 months after their "pre-approval" with a credit pull, and they are still asking for more documents to be uploaded. I would steer FAR AWAY from doing business with these clowns!!

I have been on the phone for over 1 hour to take carer of a simple insurance issue. Their phone tree keeps putting me back in their phone tree and I start all over again. When you finally get a person one tell you one thing and they other completely opposite.
Don't use.

Rick and team were great to work with. They were able to get us a loan for our dream home with less than favorable conditions while others turned us away. Easy to talk with, responsive and insightful. Closed on time and moved in!

Smooth processing and honest discussions

Explored getting a loan on our home and Planet Home was the servicer on our mortgage so we went to them for new financing. They made the process smooth. Got our loan when promised.

Exceptional Lending Experience with Eddie

Exceptional Lending Experience with Eddie Anderson!

We are incredibly grateful to Eddie Anderson for guiding us through the home-buying process using a VA loan. As a military family relocating from Germany, we faced a lot of uncertainty and stress—but Eddie made the financing side of things feel smooth, secure, and even empowering.

From day one, Eddie was knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping us succeed. He took the time to explain every step of the VA loan process, answered all our questions with patience and clarity, and worked tirelessly to ensure everything stayed on track. His professionalism and attention to detail gave us peace of mind during a very hectic transition.

Thanks to Eddie’s expertise and dedication, we were able to close on our dream home in Olympia, Washington. We couldn’t have asked for a better lending partner, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to any fellow veterans or military families navigating the home-buying journey.

Thank you, Eddie, for everything!

Sincerely,

The Jeters

The team at Planet Home Lending made the home equity loan process simple and easy with a good rate. We closed when planned and couldn’t be happier with their service level and commitment. Our loan originator and processor answered calls and questions whenever we had them. I’d HIGHLY recommend Planet to anyone looking for a loan.
