What it’s like to work with Stephen
Stephen was very knowledgeable, responsive, and always took the time to listen and respond to all questions or concerns. He provided clear and concise information helping us to navigate the decision on which product was best for our needs. He and his team were always available and willing to help.
Patience and Chad C.
Stephen truly cared about our project and helping us get the loan for our house. He was prompt, personable, and built a strong positive relationship with us. Umpqua Bank is small enough to provide personal, exceptional service, and at the same time expert enough to manage even convoluted construction loans.
Janet H.
We couldn’t have had a better experience. Stephen was unbelievably supportive, kind, helpful, and effective. He took so much of the stress and anxiety out of the process for us, answered every question, and went above and beyond in every way.
Jericha S. and Dexter L.
