I hope Leigh learns from our experience. It started out delightfully and we had several problems that did NOT relate to Northstar Mortgage Group. That being said it was a NIGHTMARE to close. They assured us that we could close by a certain date and time, they only reviewed our documents the day before, so when they found problems it delayed everything even though we had scheduled movers and such for the closing time we were assured could happen. They couldn't be bothered to show up to closing and only let us know our closing costs 35 minutes before we were set to close. I truly hope no one EVER has the same experience that my husband and I had. I also hope that Leigh has learned several things, not only about how to properly do this job, but also to not write checks with their mouth that they cannot cash.

They were a huge help along the way. Leigh was willing to jump on a call or answer any questions we had as first time home buyers. We felt extremely supported and informed throughout the entire process.I really believe we were able to close on our dream home because everyone at Northstar was so fast and precise with getting everything done.

The Northstar Mortgage team and Kate in particular made my home purchase seamless. No one could believe how quickly they got everything in place so that we could have an early closing. Kate made herself available at all hours to answer my many questions and to take phone calls when I needed more understanding and explanation. She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and could explain things in terms that made sense to me. She was so supportive through this year and a half long search and truly had my best interests at heart. She sincerely wanted me to find the right place in this crazy market and when I did she went full speed ahead and made the final push with the closing an easy process. Grateful our paths crossed. I would highly recommend Kate and her team!

Northstar Mortgage Group was such a pleasure to deal with. Leigh and her team were patient, professional, pleasant and right on top of any changes that occurred. Such a good feeling to know that I could call or text with any question that arose, and it would be greeted with an answer or an extension of help if needed. Closing on two houses at the same time was complicated, but Leigh stepped right in and allayed any questions or trepidations we had. I highly recommend Leigh and Northstar Mortgage and can’t thank them enough!!!

Kate at Northstar Mortgage embodies professionalism and commitment to her clients. She uses a human centered approach to your requests and explains small details which to first time homeowners are critical in the whole process. She listens and cares. She is not biased by your race, or social status. We were able to close in less than a week. Choose well your lender, choose Northstar Mortgage.

We could not be happier with our experience with Northstar Mortgage. Kate was incredibly patient, helpful, thoughtful, and kind throughout the process (it was our first mortgage so we sure had a lot of questions and things to learn!). It felt like an effortless experience moving through all the pieces of the mortgage process with Kate, especially knowing that we were working with someone local that we could (and did) meet face to face with. The process felt much warmer and softer than working with a traditional big bank or national mortgage company. We wanted to feel like we were not just a number or name but our story, dreams, and goals (especially around multi-family properties) were understood and that Northstar was part of our team - and this was the case. We hope to continue to work with Northstar as we plan out and one day move forward with our dreams for our next property.

From the very beginning of the process, Haley was super responsive and made sure that we understand everything that was happening every step of the way! It did not matter what time of the day or night that we emailed Haley, she responded quickly and always had the answers. Haley is a true professional and we could not have asked for a better experience! If you are in the market for someone to assist you with your purchasing or refinancing needs, you will not find anyone better than Haley McGovern!!!

We relocated from FL and were referred to Northstar by our longtime FL realtor. Northstar is excellent - Brian and Kara are extremely responsive and very efficient. Everything went smoothly on their end from start to finish, even with multiple complications on our end due to relocating/house hunting mostly from a distance. The mortgage was the most painless part of our move and that's definitely due to Brian/Kara - they were always ahead of the game on paperwork we needed and pivoted easily when we changed plans. Highly recommend - I genuinely can't imagine you'd find a better team to work with anywhere.

While it took almost a year to find the right house you all were always prompt, friendly and helpful the entire time. Your rapid responses and knowledge reduced a load of stress during the buying process. My second time working with you and both times consistently have been extremely positive experiences. I highly recommend you and even more so since you are a local business. Many thanks!

I worked with Brian Gagnon, and he was truly a life-saver. I found Brian after a previous broker relationship did not work out. It was specifically at a time when mortgage rates were peaking, and I thought my home was suddenly out-of-reach. Brian immediately stepped up and found me a lender and rate that saved my dream home, which I'm now enjoying to the fullest. Next time I need a home loan or looking to refinance, I'll be reaching out directly to Brian and will be recommending that everyone I know do the same.

Not only is the team at Northstar well informed, capable, and efficient, they're also incredibly friendly and kind - they worked with me around the closing dates and I even managed to close a week early thanks to their efforts and support. Long story short, Northstar Mortgage is awesome, and I know I'll be coming back to this team for my future mortgage needs!

I have known Mike Virgie for over 10 years. I have completed two refinancing loans with Mike and Northstar Mortgage over the past few years. Mike's diligence is on point, and he clearly explains every detail and step during the process. Most importantly, Mike is super knowledgeable about the industry and current market trends. He provides insight beyond his knowledge of mortgages. If you would like to have peace of mind and feel confident your loan process will be done correctly, I highly recommend you to use Mike Virgie. He truly has your best interest at heart.

The smoothest process I’ve ever had! Mike Virgie was absolutely amazing. Every communication was clear, timely, and if I missed something, he followed up with me instead of just waiting(which I’ve had happen in the past with different lenders). Definitely my go-to for the next purchase or refinance!

Leigh and her team were amazing to work with while we bought our first home. After dealing with some frustration with a couple other lenders Leigh's service was such a refreshing experience. She got us closed early, offered a competitive fee schedule and locked in (for today) a pretty great rate for us. We got all our questions answered, her team was amazingly responsive and we generally felt like we had made a very good new friend.I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Leigh and the Northstar team.

I had an absolutely wonderful experience with this company. One of their employees, Danielle, went above and beyond to make sure my family got everything we needed squared away so we could purchase our first home. She guided me through everything that needed to be done and answered any question that I had. Even after we closed on the house, I had some follow-up questions and reached out and she was always willing to provide me with an answer or find me somebody who could help. I highly recommend this company.

She was very helpful and quickly responded to any questions or concerns raised along the way. I would choose Northstar, and recommend Leigh to others in the future. Thanks so much, Leigh & Kara for making this as calm and organized a process as possible for us! ~Erica H.

Leigh, Kara, and the entire team at Northstar Mortgage Group were awesome and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire home-buying experience. All was done through email and phone making it super convenient for me as where I live in Oxford, Maine. They made the VA loan process a breeze and closed in 30 days. Thank you!!!

Leigh was incredible to work with on my VA loan! There were a lot of challenges with my particular loan: doing everything remotely, unique property, multiple underwriting conditions, but Leigh was able to respond quickly and proactively with innovative solutions. She was extremely helpful and encouraging during the entire process and it was a pleasure to work with her and Northstar Mortgage Group! I also want to include a very special shout-out to Kristina Emery, our loan processor. Her patience and enthusiasm was a shining light during the lending process. Thank you!!

Leigh and her entire team were fantastic. We had a short window to get everything complete. Due to their persistence and diligence we got through it without a hitch. It was a pleasure working with individuals you knew would respond immediately with patience. Highly recommend if you want a painless home buying experience.

Jason and Leigh where very helpful with buying our forever home! They where able to finance us in less then 24 hours so we could go under contract on our new build. They would answer my phone calls and text whenever I had any questions, even while on vacation. I am so grateful to them and would use them again and recommend them to all my friends.

Leigh, Kara, and the entire team at Northstar Mortgage Group have been a pleasure to work with throughout this home-buying experience. We are moving to Maine from out of state, and we needed a quick turn-around on getting a mortgage in this competitive sellers' market. Northstar was there with us every step of the way. The team is professional, thorough, and moves the process along quickly. They were also available to answer all the questions we had along the way. Thank you, Leigh and Kara!

I never thought I’d say “I loved working with a mortgage company” but Brian with Northstar Mortgage Group proved me wrong. Coming from a large major city, I never knew it was possible for a home buying process with a mortgage company to feel to personable. They went above and beyond and made our home buying process from another state very enjoyable and easy.

Leigh & her team were exceptional! They were very responsive to the many questions that we had as first time home buyers which was important to us. I highly recommend this group, they take the time to fully explain all the little things that come with buying a house. They even reached out to see how we were doing after we bought the house which was very thoughtful. We plan to use this group again for future purchases!!

Leigh and her team are FANTASTIC! We didn't make it easy for them, either.We first purchased our home through Northstar Mortgage. I don't know how she did it, but Leigh was able to secure financing for us to buy our dream home.5 years later, we refinanced to do some improvements. They were fast, friendly and knowledgeable. Leigh answered my questions even while recovering from Covid.When we were out of town for the closing date, Leigh knocked it out of the park by sending a travelling notary to our resort in Myrtle Beach.I thoroughly enjoyed working with Leigh and her team and I highly recommend them!

Brian and Kara were fantastic in securing a mortgage for my wife and I. They were attentive, responsive and just great people to deal with and speak to on the phone. They helped us close a week earlier then scheduled and we could not have asked for a better outcome. Highly recommend.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Brian and Kara. They were extremely helpful, professional and very friendly. They made the home loan process very easy especially since this is my first time buying a home and whenever I had questions they were there. They congratulated me on closing day and now I have a beautiful dream home thanks to their help. I would absolutely recommend Northstar to anyone looking for the best loan company. They are fantastic!

My husband and I recently refinanced our house with Northstar and to say Haley was amazing is an understatement! She was always so prompt to answer any questions I had no matter how silly, no matter the time of day, even replying when she was out of the office getting ready for her wedding! She was so helpful through the whole process, especially when we had a couple obstacles to overcome. I would one hundred times over recommend Northstar to anyone I know looking to buy or refinance.

Working with Leigh and Northstar Mortgage was a fantastic experience. Leigh made the process very easy, especially with all the online tools. Leigh and her team were always quick to respond to emails and very encouraging in a stressful market. We held my closing at the Northstar Mortgage office, and all I can say is WOW. The decor and ambience of the office made for a pleasurable experience. Everything is so bright and open! I have bought and sold 4 houses in the last 6 years, and this has to been hands down the most seamless and smoothest transaction!

We would highly recommend Northstar Mortgage and Leigh to anyone looking for a mortgage. They are consistently voted the best in the area and it’s because of their professionalism and care for their clients!

I love Leigh. We bought our first house with her 5 years ago and she helped us close within 4 weeks and just helped us on another house. She had been responsive in between especially with the recent house with Kara's help. I highly recommend them even to family and friends.

Thorough and consistent without being pushy. Purchasing a home requires follow-up and I never felt like too much was expected of me.
