Ian took us through what is generally a complex and stressful process and made it super simple. We shopped around and Ian got us the best rate by a mile! And because he’s a proactive communicator, he made sure all our materials were submitted well in advance. As a result, we completed our paperwork and signing more than a week ahead of close. All that resulted in a blissfully anticlimactic closing, and a new home that we love!

Ian made the loan process extremely easy. He helped us every step of the way so that it wouldn't add stress to our ongoing busy lives. His professional service and follow up continued even after our loan closed. I would highly recommend Ian Thompson to all my friends and colleagues.

This was the second time working with Ian in the home-buying process and I was again impressed with his incredible patience with both myself and my parents who were in another state. When we purchased our last home, we benefited from Ian's vast knowledge on all of the lending options and he would continually check in even after our purchase and helped to patiently explain to us a refinance option a few years later we thought was too good to be true. Because of that experience, I went searching for Ian when it came time to buy our current home.
He was again very patient with us and really helped to keep us calm and focused during a stressful buying process (stress was induced by other factors). He was always checking in with us and was happy to pick up the phone and make himself available to talk anytime. He provided helpful updates on the whole lending process and we closed on time! I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a new home or refinancing!

Every single step of the way with Ian and his office was easy and simple. He communicated our options well, gave sound business advice concerning our purchase and moved quickly when we needed him to. He was also just generally pleasant to deal with. Ian was great with our real estate agent and awesome with my wife and I. I honestly could not say more nice things about Ian. BEST OF ALL, he got us a 15-day close, which was necessary as our house sold quickly. Everything he promised, he delivered 100%. You won't be disappointed in you go with Ian!

We just did a refinance in April 2020 during a very unusual time. Ian was great, from remembering to reach out to us a year out from our original closing and getting us a rate that was one percent lower than what we initially had. He provided us with all of the numbers we needed to understand different scenarios and was very helpful in arranging for a virtual power of attorney for my parents in another state. Always a pleasure to work with Ian!

Ian expedited financing for our home after a ten year search amidst challenging market forces and circumstances. He made the process smooth and comprehensible with his expert breaking down of the steps and a very well designed and secure client portal. I would not hesitate recomending Loan Depot to anyone looking for a reliable and progressive mortgage broker.

Ian did a fantastic job working through my refinance. My situation was not straightforward, and the whole way through the process Ian showed urgency in meeting the deadline I needed, whilst providing the most fantastic customer service. Ian worked to find a creative solution, was innovative to ensure the refinance went through, he took ownership, and executed flawlessly. He not only gave me confidence in his abilities, but confidence in LoanDepot. Ian’s passion around achieving my desired outcome, his constant proactive communication, and responsiveness were totally impressive. For me, he is best in class.

I bought a house 1 year ago and refinanced about 8 months later. Ian was my mortgage consultant on both occasions. It was a very easy process. Ian kept me well informed at all times and everything was done efficiently and with ease. I highly recommend him and his team.
