What Our Customers Are Saying *


Jason Butler


"We recently closed on a rate and term refinance with Michael Storey at Desert Mountain Financial. Our entire experience was perfect! Because of Michael's skilled timing, we locked a rate that was lower than we had originally expected. All fees were what Michael had told us to expect, and our closing was scheduled for a day that fit our schedule. Michael also advised us to help raise our credit scores by paying down individual loans to specified amounts, and he referred us to a new insurance broker who saved us even more money than we were expecting to save with the re-fi. An A+ experience! "

Ellen Rubin


"From start to finish it was a smooth and trouble free loan approval process. Michael and Mitzi were easy to contact and work with and kept us informed every step of the way. Highly recommend. "

Louisa Ward


"Darren was phenomenal in his efforts to save deals. As a full-time Realtor for 28 years, I have seen sales fall apart and buyers' dreams squashed due to unskilled loan advisors. Darren has saved quite few buyers dreams when others couldn't make it happen. He is the best and his fees are very low."

"Darren has been an outstanding, phenomenal support through the entire home buying and refinancing process for our family. Over 10 years ago, as a young married couple we met Darren with just ok jobs and just barely ok credit and he helped us get our first home. He was patient and earned our trust quickly. Since then he has helped us refinance and also assisted my brother in buying a home. He is the most trustworthy person in the mortgage business. Darren is our go to guy and would highly recommend for everyone to got to him for all their mortgage needs."

Thank you for all your help and it is a pleasure to recommend you. In all the years we've either financed or re-fied, no one has ever followed up after the fact.

I will of course refer you enthusiastically to anyone who might benefit from your help and services as we have. "

Daniel Hilger


"it is too bad i cannot give 10 stars since there is only 5 stars. But Darren was awesome. I tried getting approved with a few other lenders before reaching out to Darren.The first lender didn't want to work with me, the second lender blew off two appointments that we had scheduled. He never called me when he was supposed to or returned my calls until three weeks later. I was a first time home buyer and Darren simplified the process so it was easy to understand. Anytime i had a question he was very responsive whether it was text email or a phone call. Darren also met with me in person to go over what i had gotten approved for which i couldn't even get the other people to return my call. he got me a good loan rate for my first home and the customer service was top notch. I will be recommending any friends/family to Darren if they are looking to get a loan for a new home purchase. Thank you again for all your help Darren 10/5 stars "

Alexis Gabaldon


"Darren is best in class when it comes to loans! I couldn’t go anywhere else. He is very detailed and answers all my insane amount of questions!

"Michael was so helpful throughout the whole process. I’m a first time buyer, with limited knowledge on home buying, however not once did it feel that way as Michael was very prompt and proactive in detailing and walking me through the whole process in an orderly and supreme fashion. Not only am I a homeowner but now we’ll educated in the field of real estate. Thank you Michael! "

"Darren was amazing to work with. Throughout the entire refinance process, Darren was quick to reply and on top of it all. We had spoken with other companies previously and nothing compared to the service that Darren provided. Even with several setbacks, Darren was quick to get everything completed and never once failed to get us the best rate possible. Darren went out of his way to ensure that our refinance went seamlessly and we would definitely recommend him to anyone needing to go through the mortgage process. "

Cara Patterson


"Michael was an amazing loan officer. He helped me through each step of the process. He was very responsive to all of my questions little or small. He was able to talk me through the documents that were not as clear to me and clarify any questions I had. Michael assisted me with my last home purchase and I had a similar experience. I will definitely refer or use him in my next home purchase. "

Chad Borgstedt


"Darren was absolutely amazing to work with. I had already started a process with another company and wasn't 100% pleased with how it was going. A friend of mine gave me Darren's number and I gave him a shout. After that intial call I knew that I'd rather work with him. He took care of everything and more. He explained everything to us and even answered phone calls when most people wouldn't. I will definitely be referring people to him. Thank you for helping me and my family, we greatly appreciate it! "

He was professional, knowledgeable and always up front with information. He gave advice and acted in my best interest. He was on time and always had an answer. My family and I are so happy to work with Farren and DMF and will work with no one else. I highly recommend this company and Darren Story"

"Michael got us to close, as promised, ahead of schedule. We had about 26 days to close and we were essentially ready in 20 days. He even went above and beyond to help find us a new homeowners insurance policy. He made himself available after traditional work hours. I initially signed up with Desert Mountain because they had the best rates but was pleased to find excellent service as well. Would definitely use again."
