What some of our clients have to say

Great Experience.
Fairway was the best mortgage company I have used in over ten buys in the past 30 years.

Great service! Made applying for a loan painless and worry free for first time home buyers.

Let it be known that if we were ever to need help with another property or if any of our friends or family need help we will certainly be using/recommending
Ken Pederson's Office!
Brian Ruiz

Ken was helpful, responsive and courteous. He helped us to retain as much money in our pockets as possible and get a low rate and payment, too.
Mr. and Mrs. Brian D. Anspach

My experience with Fairway was nothing but positive. When I was searching for a lender, friends warned me of lenders that would try to convince me I was capable of handling a mortgage larger than I anticipated. Fairway quickly dispelled that myth! After just one meeting with Ken I knew he was sincere, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and wanted to make certain that I didn't get in "over my head." As a newly single person, that was very important to me. Ken answered all my questions promptly and brought up additional points to ensure I was well-informed. I truly felt I had someone "by my side" as I navigated through the lending process and would highly recommend their services to anyone needing home financing.
Thanks, Ken... you're the best!
Michelle
I was very impressed that after the remortgage and all the paperwork was done, a week later I got a personal phone call from Ken asking if everything went alright and if I ever needed help again to please feel free to call Fairway, which I will definitely do.
Sandy Summers
We were pleased with this service. It went so much smoother than anticipated. I felt that we were more than just a customer; we were important as people with real lives and concerns. Any questions we had were answered promptly and in terms we could understand.
Mason L. Mowrer
Ken Pederson has helped me buy three homes, and his assistance and attention to my needs went far beyond the typical "client" relationship. Ken's service is like getting help from a long-time friend. He covers all details of a deal, and explains it in a way that's easy to understand. I wish more people in the business world were as easy to work with as Ken Pederson.
Tom Byrnes
Super fast service. Small team = personal and meaningful service. I felt important throughout the process, not just a bystander. Loan was secured in under 15 days. Loved the "small" team and 1:1 contact. I felt like you worked together, communicated well with each other so that any contact I had with Fairway was efficient and clear - I didn't answer the same question 15x or have to keep updating everyone on the team. Thank you! We love our home.
Jessica Levy
Everything went smoothly and everyone worked well with us and our realtor! When we had questions, Ken always answered them fully without making us feel dumb! From the first time we met him, he treated us in a way that made us feel comfortable and confident in him and Fairway.
Marty and Mary Rafter

We were very impressed that Ken was willing to care & postpone settlement in order for us to get a lower rate. Thank you for going out of your way for us.
Allan and Jane Dutton

Many, many thanks for all of your hard work and efforts made on behalf of my clients... I know how difficult it was at times and you all did an extremely professional and caring job. It was truly a pleasure!
Lori Lane, Realtor

Best experience I ever had getting a loan. Will recommend everyone to them. After looking into a couple different companies, Fairway was the easiest to work with. Very informative and great response time. They made me feel as though I was their one and only client.
Darrel W. Helton

This entire experience with your team brought us peace of mind, comfort and a sense of trust and security that was much needed. We won't use anyone but Fairway for all of our mortgage needs in the future.
Alex and Jeff Weigle

Easy to deal with. Did not push anything. The decision making process was left up to us, the customer! [We] would come back to Fairway any time. Thanks for the experience!
Michael Moser

We had a great experience with your company, and would recommend your company to any of our friends.
Rob Bechtel

Buying a home is always stressful. Ken and the rest of the team were very helpful answering questions and providing information. They were always available and returned phone calls promptly too!

Never pressured us into decisions. Gave us options & good advice. Kept us well informed.

Michael and Debi Cohick
We appreciated your straightforward and realistic responses - that really built our trust in you.
Piotr and Krista Winkler
We are so happy with the house and could not possibly thank you enough for all your and your co-workers' help! The closing went very smoothly. Several of the papers which needed to be signed we already saw during our discussions and meeting with you. It was comforting to know what was being presented and what we were signing.
Brendan and Mary Corrigan
Our experience with Ken and Fairway was terrific! We are completely satisfied and know our friends will be, too. Ken was so informative and knowledgeable. He listened to us and got us a mortgage that we are very happy with. Working with Fairway was one of the best decisions we made.
Kermit and Karen Rishell
Ken did a great job, even after our first deal fell through. He went the extra mile.
Brian and Michelle Quinn
Thank you once again for all your help. You made the home buying experience much easier.

Very helpful and I felt comfortable talking with Ken. He made sure I understood everything.
Mrs. Dean Weatherholtz
Thank you for your assistance in financing my mortgage. The whole process went smoothly and I am grateful for your efforts on my behalf. I would recommend your services to anyone considering a new purchase or refinance of their own.

Ken was so knowledgeable and had so many different charts that were helpful to us. I am a former loan officer and couldn't have done a better job myself!

Our experience was great! The whole process went so smoothly and was very easy!

The people are regular and friendly. At the same time professional. I felt very comfortable. I learned a lot and didn't feel inadequate either. Great 1st experience.
Lisa M. Watts
Mr. Pederson, thank you so much for taking the time to help us with our mortgage! Your willingness to help was much appreciated - it's people like you that make this process so much easier!

It's a bigger distance from most of our family and friends but everything went so well we wouldn't have a problem recommending you.
Troy and Stacy Hoover
He went above and beyond the call of duty to provide outstanding customer service throughout the entire process. We plan on building a new home next spring and we would not hesitate for a minute to use his services again next time.
Dan and Donna Burns
Working with Ken Pederson to obtain mortgage financing was made a pleasure as Mr. Pederson's experience and dedication to his client's needs showed during the entire transaction. Mr. Pederson and his dedicated team of professionals certainly earned our business. Ken would be our first and only choice in any future mortgage financing.
Mark and Eileen Bair
Thanks, if Mark and I ever move to PA you will be my LO. Also, if I ever have an opportunity to refer again, I will be sending them your way. Thank you so much for everything, Gary and Becky are very happy and really looking forward to the closing and the move. I appreciate how well you handled them and me. Have a wonderful Christmas.
Mimi
I first met Ken Pederson while serving on a committee with him. I saw him as good guy with a lot on the ball. Since then Ken has been my "mortgage guy." I've gotten a couple mortgages and done some refinancing with Ken and have recommended him to my family and friends, all of whom have thanked me.
Russ and Mary Elizabeth Gillespie
I refer people ONLY to you. Why? Because of the service you folks deliver. Never have I seen a more friendlier, dedicated group such as you guys (and gals). I can tell you through my experiences that I don't shop rates when I refi, or need a mortgage. I call Ken. The service and the smiles do it all.
Ed and Stephanie Murray
Ken Pederson did a fabulous job for us when we bought our last house. His attention to detail was impeccable, as was his customer service. I would recommend him highly to anyone seeking financing for a home purchase or refi.
Andy and Tiffany Zuch
Ken and his team helped us when we thought that we might not be able to purchase our house. In less than a month after meeting with him for the first time we settled. We couldn't be happier and owe it all to Ken!
Jennifer and Dan Behmer
The whole process was so easy and stress-free. We love the personal attention we received.
Eric and Denise Sidle
A mortgage is a big deal. Not having to worry about the process is huge.
Marcus and Heather Grimm
Great customer service and very helpful at all stages.
Susan Briggs
Very helpful, easy process, good people you can trust!
