I'm planning on purchasing a home in the near future as a first time buyer. I talked to Chris about mortgages and the home buying process. I've never purchased a home before and had no idea what to expect. He answered all of my questions (and I had a lot!) -- everything from how mortgages work, what the home buying process is like and what to expect, what mortgage rates I can generally expect and what it takes to qualify for a loan (including in unusual financial situations), and more! THANK YOU!

Cole Butard is a stand up gentleman. We have dealt with Cleveland Street mortgage twice now. Cole provides a level of service unmatched. He is thoughtful when it is called for and honest. Cole stood up for us and treated us with respect. There were a few hiccups during our transactions and Cole assured us it would all work out. And it did. We also worked under different time zones and he was courteous when contacting us. We enjoyed working with Cole and would do so in the future.

I don't think I would buy a house without Chris as part of the team. He is a man of integrity, sound business sense, and humor. We pat ourselves on the back for making the choice to go with Chris and Cleveland Street Mortgage.

I never leave reviews but Chris deserves it, he's seriously the best. Worked with him twice now and can not recommend him more. He takes so much time with every client, laying out every option, always working hard to find what's best for you. Give him a call, you'll be leaving a 5 star review before you know it.

I loved working with Chris .He was very calm.The whole process feels like a pressure cooker situation especially if you have other things going on in your life like a job and kids and just life but Chris was calm and steady and not pushy . He explained and offered options without being prompted or you having to explain your entire life ..definitely the originator to go to if you want to deal with someone who will treat you kindly.

I am so thankful for the work that Cole and his team did in getting our lending set up. I was not the easiest of customers but Cole rose to the occasion and got our approvals and disclosures through with expedience. Cleveland Steet is a fantastic group of individuals and I will definitely be using them again if I have more lending needs. Thank you, Cole for a great experience in getting our first Idaho house.

We just purchased our first home with the help of Chris Butaud with Cleveland Street Mortgage. My wife and I were very clearly clueless on the process in its entirety when we got in touch with Chris. There were sooo many documents and forms to sift through and sign, written in what seemed to be a foreign language to us. Meanwhile, we were out of state and on a time crunch to find a home near our new duty station. Chris was somehow able to make himself available 24/7 to quickly answer any questions we had and also put together videos of himself thoroughly explaining the more lengthy documents throughout the process. Now that the dust has settled and the process is complete, my wife and I feel truly blessed to have had the pleasure to work with him and Cleveland Street.

If you are looking for someone experienced, kind, patient, and knowledgeable, Chris at CSM is the best of the best. My husband and I are first time home buyers with complicated income circumstances and totally inexperienced in real estate and Chris made us comfortable every step of the way. Chris took the time to check in with us weekly even if we had no updates to share, he made videos explaining everything to us so that we would understand the process and the documents, and he made himself available at all times to answer our questions and guide us through the process. I cannot express our gratitude enough, we are so thankful we were referred to Chris by a friend for our mortgage needs. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the market for real estate.

In 2002 we were newly married and took the scary step of purchasing our first home. Chris made the process so easy and always took the time to explain how the process worked and answer our hundreds of questions with patience and knowledge. Fast forward to 2024, several home purchases later and once again Chris and his team came through in amazing fashion. We are out of state buyers who were visiting Washington this summer on vacation with no plans to purchase real estate. We came across an investment property July 18th that drew out interest but we were quite sure we wouldn’t be able to qualify for the loan. Driving home from celebrating our anniversary at Salish Lodge we gave Chris a call letting him know we had just got a lead on a property that hadn’t hit the market yet, we hadn’t even seen yet, didn’t think financing would work out but could he look into it for us? We told him time was of the essence and even though he was at family camp he got to work right away. Chris had us ready to close by August 10th! Truly unbelievable considering my husband’s erratic work history and just starting our own business with no proven income. Chris is very detail oriented, he is truly an expert in his field and can make a way when it doesn’t seem possible. More importantly he is just an all around great guy who always does the right thing even when it may not be profitable for business. Chris makes purchasing a home a breeze and we look forward to working with him on the next one!

Cleveland Street Mortgage was extremely helpful throughout the process of my family's first home purchase. The mortgage process is complex, tough to understand and difficult manage on your own. The CSM team was very quick to respond and helpful every step of the way! My family is very thankful for the help and insight of Chris and Landon. We would recommend their services to anyone who asks

I've never experienced working with such a detailed oriented mortgage lender such as Cole Butard. After each phone call he would update me with an email or follow up with a text. We needed to close in such an expedited manner, Cole was there every step of the way, even anticipating some potential issues. Cleveland Street Mortgage, LLC definitely set the bar extremely high with outstanding customer service!!! Thank you for all persistence, assistance, and patience working with us.

My wife and I were first time homebuyers with little knowledge on the whole process of buying a home. Cole was extremely helpful with supplying us with information to make an informed decision! He made the home buying process very smooth and we greatly appreciated his insights. I was extremely impressed with how fast Cole was able to get things done. I highly recommend Cleveland Street Mortgage to anyone in our area looking to buy a home.

My wife and I are first-time homebuyers and Cole made the process much less challenging and stressful than I’m sure it could have been. Cole was incredibly responsive, proactive and thoughtful during the entire process from pre-approval to closing and was transparent about the steps taken by himself and the third party lenders. I appreciated Cole’s sense of humor and optimism during the more stressful moments in the process, but never felt unsure or skeptical about his knowledge or professionalism. I highly recommend Cole and Cleveland Street Mortgage to anyone wanting to become a first-time homebuyer in our area.

Cole Butaud worked very hard to find a lender that would work with my edge-case situation. When the Realtor went on vacation, he picked up the slack. He was transparent, but didn't dump the details on me. I would highly recommend.

I started my Refi search with an online application that sends it to multiple Lenders. The quotes and fees were ridiculous. I was referred to Loan Officer Brigitte with Cleveland Street Mortgage.

Very grateful!!!Thank you Brigitte!

Chris was a fantastic partner in obtaining a great mortgage when we relocated from Canada to Seattle. He very communicative, straightforward, and organized. His expertise was invaluable as we navigated the US mortgage process (we lived in Canada for 8 years and things had changed a bit). I would highly recommend Chris and plan on using him again for any future transactions. Bonus...he's a great guy.

Chris is like a mortgage encyclopedia! His knowledge and experience of the process will ensure that the loan process is smooth as silk. Chris will give you the confidence that you will not be blindsided while buying a home. I can't imagine going with anyone besides Cleveland Street Mortgage. This was my second home purchase, and Chris was personal, responsive, and efficient. You can't go wrong with him or his team!

Chris Butaud has raised the bar when it comes to customer care. A perfect balance between leveraging technology and 'scalable' ways to promptly address concerns (or questions) and, at the same time, keeping the personal touch with my needs at the center of gravity as he seeks (and fight on your behalf :-)) the financial offering that meet (exceed, really) anyone's expectations. I already shared Cleveland Street Mortgage with friends and didn't hesite a second to share more about my great experience to others seeking (great) partners to finance/refinance their home.

Cole @ Cleveland Street Mortgage was a dream to work with. Refinancing your home is not a fun thing to do but Cole made the process so easy. He patiently worked with me to get all my documents in order and he took care of everything. He made the tedious process go so smoothly. If your thinking about refinancing, go with Cole at Cleveland Street.

I was timid to even begin my refinance process, but Chris made it a breeze! Incredible service well beyond my expectations, with immediate professional and concise answers to even my most obscure questions. I felt that I was in good hands. The custom video explanation of my financial breakdown was a wildly valuable service, saving me from likely a lot of confusion. I have no basis of comparison, but based on my experience with Cleveland, I assume Chris is the best you can get! I cannot recommend more highly!
