Get to Know Augustus Bukowski

 

My favorite city in the world is Seattle, though I may be a little biased. I grew up in Phinney Ridge, went to St John Elementary, graduated from Nathan Hale and completed my Bachelor Degree at WSU.

Upon graduation in 2008, I moved home and began my career in mortgage. It wasn't long before I opened my own office in Queen Anne, where I still operate today.

In recent years, I have been nominated WAMP mortgage professional of the year, Presidents Club inductee, and most notably been ranked in the top 1% of mortgage originators in America. 

We have achieved our success by providing a high level of customer service, competitive rates, and finding solutions for complex financial situations for our clients.

Augustus is the best! Even our Escrow Agent mentioned to us how much she liked working with him. After Augustus gave us the Good Faith Estimate of our mortgage, I shopped around to make sure we were getting the best deal. I checked local banks, credit unions and the internet; noone beat what Augustus put together for us. Then on top of that, just before we closed, Augustus was able to drop our monthly payment by a few more dollars! He is very responsive and can breakdown and explain in simple terms some pretty complicated loan information. We ended up closing a week earlier than anticipated and could have closed earlier if we wanted. I highly recommend Augustus

Augustus is a life saver! I am a new agent and my first transaction almost fell through due to financing issues with my clients credit union. My buyer had pre-approval through a large credit union that we all know and love... however, mortgages are not their specialty. I was referred to Augustus through a co-worker. He was able to quickly figure out the core issue that was holding my client back and fix it the same day. Bay Equity was even able to get a lower rate for him. My buyer was ecstatic and I have a new go-to lender of choice!

Augustus made a great impression on us from the first time we met,(short notice on a Saturday afternoon), so we could get our loan docs completed before we went on vacation Monday morning. He continued to accommodate and support us every step of the way, keeping us informed, reassuring us (first time buyers- lots of anxiety!) and helping us to feel relaxed and secure about the whole process. He keeps you "in the loop" so you always know whats happening at every stage of the loan process. He responds immediately to all emails, texts and phone calls- very important to us. Even after the loan closed, Augustus continued to show concern. We discovered on move-in day that our home had been vandalized! Augustus somehow found out, and contacted us immediately, offering his support and willingness to do anything he could to help us through our difficulty. You will get the most attentive, personalized and professional loan - AND a terrific interest rate to boot!

Augustus has been so helpful. Extremely knowledgeable and resourceful. With my husband working out of the country it was very difficult for me to know in which direction to go or what to do. Everyone always tells me how stressful it is to buy a home. But I have to say that it was very painless with the professional help and guidance of Augustus and Heath Cunningham. They made feel comfortable and I felt I was in the right hands since this is my first time buying a home. I feel like I didn't only get outstanding service, but I also made a couple friends. They are very friendly, professional, and pleasant. And funny. If anyone is looking to buy a home, I highly recommend Augustus B. He works hard at making sure you're home buying experience is a positive one. He understands that buying our dream home for our family is important and a life event that we will treasure and enjoy for years to come and even generations down. We all know that there is nothing better than having pride in owning your home. And this two awesome guys got us there quickly and painlessly. Thank you guys! God Bless! ;)

Augustus was extremely helpful and efficient. He completed the entire pre approval and loan closure in a more timely manner than expected. He was personable and made the process low stress and reassured me along the way by frequently keeping me up to date by emails or personal phone calls. Thank you Augustus!

Augustus is the man in mortgage. His knowledge and experience is years beyond anyone I've met in the industry. He knows more about real estate than my agent did, and really helped me figure out what's important and how to make my dreams come true. He is a great professional and was very competitively priced among his competition. His speed and excellence was worth any extra I may have paid, and ultimately saved thousands by making sure my offer covered all the costs of the transaction. Augustus is who you need to trust with your home purchase.

Thank you to Augustus for his help in the purchase of our first home. He made the loan process quick and easy. He got us preapproved in a timely manner so that we could shop with confidence. When our offer was accepted he worked hard to get it closed quickly- 3 weeks! We are thankful that we got to lock in historically low interest rates and had a great team working hard to make it happen. Thank you Augustus for sharing your knowledge and expertise, we couldn't have done this without you!

I contact Augustus after viewing his profile. He was very busy at the moment I called, but understood the importance of moving forward quickly. He had his assistant Jeff gather all my information, which I was at first hesitant about, but Jeff was very nice and seemed to care about what mattered to me. I gave Jeff all of my information, and later that evening when most people would have left the office hours earlier, I got a call from Augustus. He apologized for the delayed response. Which is hardly delayed considering all the other people I talked to were taking days, and coming back with partial information, and asking a ton of questions that did not matter. Augustus had thoroughly reviewed my situation and had real answers, he did not need to run to a manager to figure something out. Most important Augustus readdressed all of the concerns I had told Jeff and did not leave one question unanswered. Because of his knowledge, expertise and overall manner of doing business I chose to go with him. To my amazement we closed on our new purchase well under 30 days and now own our first investment property. Augustus is an A+ Rock Star... Use him!!!

Augustus did a fantastic job with our refinance. It was a swift and seamless process completed in less than 30 days. We were able to lock in a great rate, drop our payments, and even cut our insurance nearly in half. Glad I found him on Zillow and followed folks recommendation.

In the past, I had dealt with other brokers/banks pertaining to home purchase, re-financing, and honestly there were times that I felt that they lacked the experience/knowledge with feedback we were receiving. Before speaking with Augustus, in our minds we had prepared to deal with this type of process (Assumptions to be made, not clear as a plan forward and in-patient). Well, I was totally wrong, in fact, myself and my wife thought maybe there is a catch, it's working out to smoothly and it's moving along as indicated by Augustus. Augustus is extremely experienced, up to date and full of knowledge with the current market status, extremely accurate, he provided facts, not assumptions. Our re-financing moved forward, on-track (as he had advised us from the first day we had spoken with him). Augustus has great patients, he provides status throughout the process of re-financing, he will go out of his way to call you and follow up (Night's, week-ends). His team is outstanding, polite, professional and proactive. We HIGHLY recommend Augustus, once you speak with him, you will realize he's the broker you want. Thank you, Kelly

I went to Augustus with an underwater mortgage and he was able to do a refi without an appraisal, and therefore without bringing cash to the table! It was amazing!

We decided on the spur of the moment to buy a house in Seattle while visiting our kids there, and Augie was able to get us approved over the phone in about 20 minutes so we could put in a bid and submit the approval letter. Following that, he met with us and after working hard to get us a great rate, submitted all of the mountains of paperwork for the loan. He was great at working with us long distance after we returned to the East coast to get the loan process completed and get through closing. I would get another loan from him any time.

Augustus was fantastic! He was very knowledgable, and I feel he worked very hard to get out home loan approved in a timely manner. He absolutely hands down made it possible for Leonard and I to purchase our new home! Could not have done it without all his hard work.. And patience with me with All my emails and questions! I would recommend him and work with him in a heartbeat! Thank you Augustus!! Diana and Leonard

I was introduced to Augustus over a year ago through a real-estate broker who was trying to get a deal done for his client but due to the insurance issue the deal could not be done. Due to his desire to help his clients out I was brought into the picture due to our rates. This little piece of the puzzle (Insurance) was keeping the deal from working. It was Augustus that kept pushing for the client to make the deal work and to find my Agency. Since that time I have had Augie do my Refi and the folks that I refer him to. He gets the job done in a manner that is very proffesional as well as his follow up to the clients he is working with. The follow through is by far one of his greatest assets for the client. I would recommend Augustus to anyone that wishes to have the job done right and on a timely manner.

We had been trying to re-finance our mortgage and consolidate a bunch of debt for some time with no luck. We were just running into dead ends with other banks and lending institutions. Fortunately a friend told me about Augusts. Augie immediately started to work on solutions for us and he stayed on top of everything until he made it happen. The deal he was able to facilitate for us is going to save us so much money that it's truly going to be a life changer. A huge weight has been lifted off our shoulders. He is also a super nice guy and very pleasant to deal with. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

My loan just closed today and I am extremely happy. Augie was very helpful and knowledgeable and he delivered exactly what he promised. From start to finish this has been the easiest loan process that I have ever been through. (Not to mention the fastest.-less than a month) Thank you Augie for making this so easy and painless!

As a busy realtor, I run across a lot of mortgage professionals. Quite frankly, "professional" is a term that must often be applied loosely. Mr. B stands out well above his so-called peers. He is one of the most knowledgeable (true) professionals I have encountered and also happens to be polite, articulate and responsive. I would not hesitate to recommend Augustus Bukowski to anyone seeking a mortgage.

Many lenders had turned me down for pulling equity out of my home, but Augie didn't let me take no for an answer. He listened to my full scenario, and asked probing questions that got to the core of why I was being turned down. Becasue he is in my opinion the best, he knew from there exactly where to take my loan. Within a few short weeks I had my 350 K, and he got a client for life. I found his knowledge and customer service well above any of my expectations.

Augustus is a 100% bad arse mortgage machine! I had thought I had worked with professionals when I originally bought my primary and investment homes. Turns out those prior folks were just run of the mill average brokers. Augustus has taken my view of Mortgage professionals to a new level. Thank you Augie!
