My experience with Alex Doce from First Community Mortgage was phenomenal. The entire process was…read moreextremely smooth from the initial pre-approval, appraisal, underwriting, and down to the closing. I found Alex solely by searching the web for local lenders and his name happened to come up on every platform I visited, so I took a leap of faith to trust the reviews and can now vouch for his raving reviews. It's only right I add my testimony. He works fast and is efficient. Thank you Alex for your knowledge, professionalism and service. All the best, Kim and Rafael

In short, Alex Doce came to my rescue in one of the most precarious situations I've ever been in…read morecertainly financially. I had made some bad decisions and planning and while there are plenty of opportunities, bridging the gap I had put myself in a situation where I'd overextended myself by trying to get extra credit cards etc, you know how that goes and I didn't think because I was too an experienced about getting a loan on the house that I inherited a little more than a half year ago. The first person who tried to and showed me that there was an option, something called a no-income/ verification loan. The riskiest for banks and only a selection places offer them, but the person that first reached out to me hid, despite my prying and trying to get more information, so much that when I got the disclosure papers or the closing documents I think he just expected me to sign because I was so in need. Well that wasn't going to happen, so I had to find someone else, and I stayed up all that Friday night and on that Saturday morning Alex called me back from my messages. From there I dealt with a man I have utter respect for. He is hardworking, generous and not only with his time, we got to know each other actually quite well during this process and learn quite a bit about each other and had some very nice conversations, but with the difficulty that I was facing he even took half of his normal fee to help me out in my situation. I never asked for that. He just did it and I just got the paperwork stating that he was doing it. He's just the type of person. I learned a lot about his history and everything he had gone through and his struggles to make it in life, and it shows in his determination and dedication and work ethic. I don't know how he does it, but he works at a feverish pace for I don't know how many hours a day but I think our regularly 10 or 11, and then works a good part of Saturdays as well. And when you talk to him it's during this time it's all business and then he's back to work taking care of it and calling you back a few minutes later with a problem solved. An expectation that was reasonable just so it wouldn't be disappointed if it didn't take the last time, and it did take less time which I'll tell you about, but he said that we would be able to get it done within about a month or less and I would have my money. If it wasn't just for one particular thing that held things up for a week, I would have had it in about half the time, and as it was we were still I believe a week or more early when the funds were deposited into my bank from when we began. He got great terms for my situation with a loan that's got the highest because of the risky nature of it, and he explained to everything that I asked. He was transparent. Everything that you want to find when you put your trust in somebody for things like this, things you've worked so long for and you're hard earned money. I could go on but I'll just finish by saying that I couldn't recommend any higher Alex with his character and abilities and I feel very grateful for having had the chance to work with him, and have him help me in my time even I want to say thank you Alex. I promise that if anybody who is reading this chooses to work with him, you will have a story of your own like this to tell about him that would be similar, at least in regards to Alex and everything that he would do for you and the experience you would have working with him. I can honestly wholeheartedly say that all of this is true, and this is just who he is, and you can expect that he'll do everything in his power and make sure that you have a good experience and success in your pursuits!..Andrew W.

I couldn't be happier with the experience I had working with Phil Ganz on my DSCR loan for my…read moreAirbnb property! I needed a cash-out refinance on an investment property and Phil made the entire process incredibly smooth, fast, and stress-free. From the very first call, Phil demonstrated deep expertise in DSCR loans, investment property financing, and short-term rental mortgages. He walked me through exactly how the debt service coverage ratio would qualify the property based on its Airbnb income instead of my personal W-2s -- something most traditional lenders won't touch. His knowledge of non-QM lending and cash-out refinance options for real estate investors was exactly what I needed. Phil handled every detail with professionalism and transparency. The application was simple, the communication was constant, and he pushed the file through closing well ahead of schedule. I was able to pull significant equity out of my Airbnb while keeping my personal debt-to-income ratio completely out of the picture. If you're a real estate investor looking for a DSCR loan, Airbnb financing, investment property cash-out refinance, or any non-QM mortgage solution, Phil Ganz is the mortgage broker you want on your side. He's responsive, knowledgeable, and truly delivers results. I've already referred two other investor friends and will continue to do so. Thank you, Phil -- you made a complicated process feel effortless! Highly recommend to anyone needing DSCR loans or investment property financing. 10/10!

I worked with this company on a loan back in 2021, and my experience was extremely unprofessional…read moreand disappointing. During my communication with their team, they would often put the call on speaker without my consent, allowing others in the office to hear our conversation. English is not my first language, so when I struggled at times, I could hear a white male in the background laughing at my English. It felt very disrespectful and unprofessional. At that time, there were limited lending options available, so I continued working with them despite these concerns. However, I specifically asked their representative whether they would delay the loan process due to interest rate changes, which could cause us to miss the rate lock period and result in additional charges (points) . This concern was based on negative experiences I had with other lenders in the past. Their representative clearly assured me that this would not happen. However, in the final 10 days before the rate lock expiration, we were almost unable to reach their underwriter at all. There was little to no response to our messages during this critical period. This made it very difficult to move the process forward and gave the strong impression that the delay was intentional. As a result, the loan did not close within the locked rate period. My client was then forced to pay over $7,000 in additional points in order to proceed and complete the loan. This experience left me feeling that the company was highly unprofessional. Clients were not treated with respect, and the handling of the loan gave the impression that they were taking advantage of the situation rather than acting in good faith. I do not recommend this company. Since then, I have shared this experience with my colleagues, friends, and my broker, as it remains one of the worst experiences, I have had working with a lender!!

We appreciate that they ultimately took accountability and worked to resolve the matter. While the process was far more stressful than it should have been, we do acknowledge their efforts to make it right in the end. extremely disappointing experience with Laura Gonzalez. Communication throughout our loan process has been poor and inconsistent, especially as we approached our scheduled closing date. We were supposed to close several days ago and still have no definitive timeline or clear answers on what is outstanding. Our lender was repeatedly told updates and documents would be sent to the title company, but those commitments were not followed through on, leaving our agent and the sellers without answers. We were also told the appraisal was incorrect, but after reviewing it and speaking directly with the appraiser, it appears the report was calculated properly. The lack of transparency, follow-up, and urgency this close to closing has caused unnecessary stress and delays in our transaction

But beware the sugar-sweet tone of their callers: Translation: Was their collateral impaired by Ian? Why do they want to know that? Well, once the house is damaged, their collateral is no longer worth what they loaned you on it. They can ask for more money from you perhaps, or perhaps call in the loan. Bad enough people lost their homes-- must TMF now make it worse by calling in their mortgages? If they want to know this, they should send out their investigators and underwriters, instead of further victimizing those who lost their homes. Shame on you The Mortgage Firm!

All we knew was "we want to own a home." I've been following Jennifer's youtube channel since 2022. She has so much useful information regarding purchasing a home. So she came into my mind when we decided we want to buy a house in 2024. Jennifer and everyone on the team were so patient in explaining all of our questions to us. She gave us no pressure with using her as a lender. We did compare with other lenders but still decided to trust Jennifer with our loan. From we started our loan process to closing to post closing, we were outside of the United States for the whole time. That added a lot of complicity to our process, but of course my super lender made this whole process possible for us. She even recommended an AWESOME agent, Gisela Spencer to us. Since we were stationed overseas, and had no local connection with any agent in our "new home" area, I asked Jennifer's team for recommendation. And OH BOY, Gisela is amazing!! I love Jennifer's team because they are so personal and really listen to our needs and make owning a home possible for us. Process of purchasing a home can be stressful. But with Jennifer's team and Gisela helping us staying on top of tasks we were able to close within a month after our offer was accepted! If we have the chance to purchase another home in the future, I will definitely come back to Jennifer. - Judy
