Damon Johnston, President GMMC
Over the past 9 years, Damon Johnston has helped over 800 families achieve the dream of homeownership, and he currently manages over $100,000,000 in mortgage loans.
Damon’s business philosophy is quite different from most of his peers. In his words, “My job doesn’t end at the closing table…it begins there.” He understands that he is helping his clients create what is, for most people, the largest debt they will ever have, and he is committed to helping them manage that debt over the long term. This philosophy has helped Damon create an environment in which 95% of his business comes from referrals or past clients with new needs.
For Damon, integrity, professionalism and excellent customer service are more than just catchwords--they are core business principles. He has built his business on these principles and, on a daily basis, continues to strive to improve the service that he provides his clients. One testament to that commitment to service is that Green Mountain Mortgage is one of the few companies in the industry to offer a “Guaranteed Good Faith Estimate.” This means that the rate and fees quoted when the loan is locked in are guaranteed to be delivered at closing. This benefit gives Green Mountain's clients the peace of mind that they deserve, knowing that there will be no surprises at closing.
Damon sends out a quarterly rate-watch so his clients can make sure they're in the best loan for their needs…all of the time. He has built his business one client at a time. He places an emphasis on clients long/short term financial goals to make sure they are in the best product for their situation.
