I am a first-time home buyer and Carlson Mortgage provided me with the mortgage for my recent home purchase. I was initially pre-approved at another bank and my realtor suggested that I contact Carlson Mortgage. I worked with Alex as my loan officer and he helped me through the whole process, from pre-approval to closing. All of my questions were answered in a very timely manner. Alex found a special first-time home buyer program for me, with only a 3% down payment, a low interest rate and no lender fees at all. I even received a $400 cash credit incentive to offset some of my other closing costs. I'm very satisfied with my experience at Carlson Mortgage.

Alex and his team were fantastic to work with. They were organized, knowledgeable, and patient with all of our first time home buyer questions and mistakes :). Their responses were timely and around the clock. Alex gives you great advice and is always working in his clients best interests. They also got us a fantastic rate for our mortgage. I would recommend 1000%!! If you choose to use Carlson Mortgage, trust you are in great hands!

We had very good mortgage experience. Very responsive to questions and concerns as it took us 5 offers on different houses to finally get our new house in a very competitive market. We've recommended them to 2 sets of friends since closing 2 months ago.

Alex at Carlson Mortgage has been essential at securing us a very advantageous refinancing rate efficiently no broker fees. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and reliable during the whole process. On top of that he was very helpful on arranging a curbside closing for us. We highly recommend Alex.

Alex at Carlson Mortgage provided me with a mortgage a year ago, when I was buying my first home. Now I just refinanced to lower the interest rate and Carlson Mortgage paid for all of my closing costs. I got a low interest rate and the loan was closed quickly and without needing an appraisal. I would use the company and the loan officer again and I 100% recommend their services.

I had my initial consultation with Carlson Mortgage in 2019. I was a first-time home buyer, looking to buy my first home in St. Louis after moving here from Chicago. They explained the home buying process in great detail and gave me a few pointers as to my credit and down payment requirements. I just closed on my first home in Webster Groves, got a low interest rate and am very happy with the service that was provided to me. Would happily use them again in the future once I outgrow my current home.

We can't say enough good things about Carlson Mortgage! Alex and Greg were awesome! They made the whole loan process so easy from beginning to end. They got us the best rate and were always available 24/7 to answer all our questions. They were very professional and efficient and the nicest guys. Don't even think about using anyone else. Carlson Mortgage is the best!

The team at Carlson Mortgage is always a pleasure to work with. I am a repeat customer; they helped me purchase a home 2 years ago and I just completed a mortgage refinance transaction. They have low interest rates, no fees and will guide you every step of the way to a smooth closing.

I worked with Alex on the purchasing of my first home. If you're researching loan officers who can help you lock a low interest and save you money on closing; if you're looking for a loan officer who is super responsive and supportive; or if you're looking to be happy on closing day, then Alex and Carlson Mortgage is your answer. No questions asked.

My husband and I just obtained a mortgage for the purchase of our new home from Carlson Mortgage. This is my second time working with the loan officer Alex - the first time was in 2009! We got a good rate and didn't have to pay any fees to the broker or to the lender. The team at Carlson Mortgage met all of our timelines and delivered the loan as promised. Excellent service.

Carlson Mortgage gets things done - for both first time home buyers and seasoned buyers alike. They are very personable, professional and through and are always readily available to run the numbers and answer questions before the start of the process. They go above and beyond to make sure that everyone is happy and transactions are stress-free.

The team at Carlson Mortgage here in St. Louis is really helpful and knowledgeable. We used their services for both purchase and refinance mortgages over the years. The mortgage broker that we dealt with was Alex. He helped us when we bought our home and then proactively reached out when interest rates fell enough for us to realize savings by refinancing. He was very easy to work with: thorough, timely and professional.

After being in the real estate business for over 13 years, I have never been apart of a smoother transactions then what we experience with Alex and his team.

The most recent file he worked on had a little hair around the edges, my client had recently been turned down by a different mortgage broker. However once Alex got her file everything fell into place, great quick communication from his end, no surprises from the underwriter and hit the closing time frame with no problem.

Trust me when I tell you he is the best out there, do yourself a favor and shoot Alex a message, you wont regret it! He has my business for life!

I've only ever spoken to Alex, and he definitely knows what he's doing. I've been looking into purchasing a second home for myself. (I currently own a duplex and rent out half, looking to turn it into an investment property.)
Alex is very responsive, professional and was able to communicate clearly what I needed to do next. He gave me advice and walked me through the entire process. He obviously understands the business very well, and was very patient while answering all of my questions. I will definitely be using them for my next mortgage. I only wish I had used them when purchasing my first home!
If you're looking for reliable, professional mortgage lenders with low interest rates and great customer service, I would highly recommend giving these guys a call! They will not disappoint.

We needed to buy a home but weren’t sure where to start. We researched local mortgage brokers and Carlson Mortgage immediately stood out for their stellar reviews. One phone call led us to a timely pre-approval, the loan officer Alex referred us to a superstar real estate agent, timed our mortgage rate-lock perfectly to take advantage of our lender’s specials for Labor Day, and Alex and Greg expertly guided our mortgage all the way to the closing room. Our first-time home buying experience was exceptional and it all started with that one phone call to Alex. Highly recommend.

I have now had 8 home-related transactions (purchases and refinances) with various banks and loan brokers, and 3 of those transactions have been with Carlson Mortgage. Carlson Mortgage has been the best experience for me and my family by a wide margin.

Alex G. and his team have been very accessible and supportive, and Alex has been able to lock in rates that were better than the competitors. Much of our communication was conducted through email, including sending documentation or e-signing forms. Because of the number of documents we signed via e-signatures, the closings have been noticeably quicker than in my past experiences with other companies.

I couldn't have asked for a better team or experience, and I plan to use Carlson Mortgage for all future purchases.

My fiance and I purchased our first home and I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else, other than Alex at Carlson Mortgage and his processor Greg. They answered every question I had, no matter how silly it was. They made me feel comfortable with their patience and friendliness. We applied and had a great interest rate, then during the process, Alex and Greg found a program I qualified for and my interest rate lowered even more. They work diligently to save you cost at every turn. These 2 know their stuff. If you’re already talking to a different mortgage broker like I was, do yourself a favor and just call Alex. We will never use anyone else. 10/10. 5 stars
