Testimonials

“Brian was fantastic and very easy to work with. He did an excellent job at the beginning of walking me through what to expect. He also referred me to an excellent realtor who knew my area well. When it came time to make offers, he was incredibly responsive. And the closing process was as smooth as could be–everything was completed well in advance and there were no headaches at all. I would not hesitate for a second to refer Brian to a friend!” — Matt N., Blaine; May 2022 

“Brian and his team are fantastic. I am a business owner and run a successful however post COVID there is greater scrutiny on business owners getting a mortgage. Brian knew how to successfully navigate this process. Additionally, the seller threw a few curve ball at the last minute and Brian and his team were able to accommodate the changes to get us to the finish line. Brain and his team are knowledgeable, responsive, competitive, professional and made this a simple process. We greatly appreciate everything Brian and his team did for us.”— Jason H., Annandale; March 2022

“We were first time home buyers with little knowledge of mortgages or real estate. Brian and his team were so helpful explaining all the important ins and outs of buying a house that we felt empowered to look with confidence! Everything was detailed and he was available at all times for us to ask questions or get our offer letter! We will be using him again if we ever buy a house and will be recommending Alerus to all our friends! Thank you Brian!” — Margaret P., Brooklyn Center; January 2022 

“My husband and I worked with Brian on our relocation purchase across country and it was by far the quickest and easiest purchase transaction we have been through to date! We tasked him with a really tight closing deadline and he pulled through sooner than even expected! Brian and his team were always on top of their game the whole way through without a hitch. Brian’s service is top notch and I would recommend him to anyone looking to finance a home purchase.” — Sunny C., Maple Grove; December 2021

“I was referred to Brian from multiple people and I quickly learned why they had spoken so highly of him! Brian was amazing to work with. This was my first time going through the mortgage/home buying process and our first meeting Brian took an hour and a half just walking me through all of the steps that could come up. At this point I was months away from making an offer but he continued to check in and answer any questions. He also got on multiple calls with my parents so we were all on the same page and feeling confident about the purchase and loan. Brian and his team cares about each person they work with and will do whatever it takes to make sure the process goes smoothly.” — Sam M., Saint Louis Park; November 2020
