Money, especially in large amounts makes people uncomfortable. And finding your perfect home is an incredibly intimate experience. So having the right team on your side makes all the difference. When I walked into the Chase bank in Port Townsend, the teller was very rude. I asked about getting a home loan and I was told they don't do that there. The teller even became irritated when I asked for a brochure about home loans. I continued to request information and was eventually directed to Scott Fox. Thank goodness Scott was able to actually provide the information I needed to begin the home loan process. He took the time to speak with me. He then contacted Dean Chilton who continued to be of great assistance. My interactions with Dean were informative and positive. The home buying process is as stressful as it can be, but I truly believe Dean did everything he could to make the process as painless as possible. It's unfortunate that on the day that I went back to the same Chase bank in Port Townsend to wire funds I was treated just as poorly by another teller as I had two months before. I'm confused as to why the tellers have such a starkly different demeanor than the other associates. Maybe something to address.

Dean Chilton should have a big red "S" on his shirt as far as I am concerned. When I started with him, I did not have a clue what I wanted, he was very patient with me. I called him many, many times. He was always very helpful, polite, and returned my calls very quickly. Dean is definitely a great asset to your organization. He also worked with our real estate agents and made life really simple for us. I cannot say enough good and positive things about Dean Chilton. Whatever you are paying him, you should really increase his salary. I really appreciate what he has done for us.

Dean Chilton is an exemplary professional. He has a positive enthusiastic voice matched with an "I've got it" delivery that was very reassuring and helpful during this primarily electronic/faceless experience. I felt like a "special" client yet I imagine I wasn't and he simply treats every client with this high amount of respect and patience consistently. Also: does he ever go home? He was available EVERY time I reached out even on a holiday weekend.
Will Blaty was also incredibly professional and patient. He was also very quick to respond - every time! I enjoyed my conversations with him, and felt he was knowledgeable and efficient.

Sending checks to pay cards was a poor experience! Also, all the wasted paper we received in the mail! Dean, our local banker was always available and had answers! The gal who came to with closing papers was patient and outstanding. The process went through quickly.

Dean Chilton, my loan specialist at Chase in Gig Harbor, Wa was amazing throughout this entire process. I am a first time home buyer and he was there every step of the way for me, answering all of my questions and being super attentive and helpful. I had a great experience working with Chase and especially Dean, for my first home buying experience.

Wasted our time. Came with a "counteroffer" that wouldn't even put us in the ballpark of anything in the town we are looking at. Then he and Chase checked our credit scores again, with a hard inquiry, after we'd already said no. Don't trust.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is it time to stop renting and buy a home?
When debating between renting vs. buying, you need to think about your lifestyle and finances. While renting can provide more flexibility, owning a home enables you to build equity in the property and may provide tax benefits.
Buying a home is a huge step, especially when you’re moving from renting to owning.
Buying a home is a huge step, especially when you’re moving from renting to owning.
How can I get information on mortgage loan options?
At Chase, you can choose from several types of mortgage loans to finance your home purchase. A Home Lending Advisor can help you understand the differences between the various loan options so you find one that best suits your financial situation.
Once you understand what you want out of a home, determining your housing budget is essential. After determining a loose housing budget, you'll need to decide how much you'll be comfortable paying each month. Your real estate agent will help you find the right home based on all of these factors. Looking for more information? Read our guide on “How to Find the Perfect Home!”

What documents will I need to apply for a mortgage?
Traditional loans usually require documents that verify your employment, income and assets, and may include:
• Your Social Security number
• Pay stubs for the last two months
• W-2 forms for the past two years
• Bank statements for the past two or three months
• One to two years of federal tax returns
• A signed contract of sale (if you've already chosen your new home)
• Information on current debt, including car loans, student loans and credit cards
• Your Social Security number
• Pay stubs for the last two months
• W-2 forms for the past two years
• Bank statements for the past two or three months
• One to two years of federal tax returns
• A signed contract of sale (if you've already chosen your new home)
• Information on current debt, including car loans, student loans and credit cards
What is better: a fixed or an adjustable interest rate?
If you plan to be in your home for more than seven years, you may want to consider a fixed-rate mortgage, which offers predictable payments and long-term protection against rising mortgage interest rates. If you plan to be in your home for seven years or less, an adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) could be attractive. Keep in mind that with an ARM, your monthly payments have the potential to go up each time your interest rate adjusts.
