Mike Archer and his team at First Home Mortgage were extremely pleasant to work with. Mike was very knowledgeable of the whole mortgage process and took the time to explain each step along the way. He carefully explained all the mortgage options and gave his honest opinion about which one we should go with. We felt he had our best interest in mind when guiding us toward a certain mortgage product. I would strongly recommend using Mike Archer and his team at First Home Mortgage for your next mortgage or refinance.

I worked with Jonathan Vitak to try to get an approval. Although he wasn't able to get me approved,…read morehe pointed me in the right direction and found someone else who managed to get me an approval. Very helpful and answered every question I had over email almost instantly. I probably spoke to 20+ Loan Officers over the last couple of months. Most of them had terrible communication and would take 1-2 days to reply to a simple email. Jonathan continued to help me even after he knew that he couldn't get me approved with Coastal Lending. Just an all around great guy to deal with.

Knowledgeable and accurate on all steps in what can be a painful journey in buying a home. Constantly watched rates for us and loved the fact they were tech savvy with DocuSign. If only my shady tree realtor was half as good. I highly recommend using Jon, Whitney and the gang for your lending needs. In a sea of dime a dozen lenders, this company shines. Thank you CLG!!

My boyfriend and I had started the daunting process of purchasing our 1st home in December 2017. We…read morefound a realtor relatively quickly but I was nervous about finding a lender because we had been misled by a BB&T lender who took our information, ran our credit and took too long to follow up with us. Our realtor April Love Raimond suggested we connected with James Walls with Secured Funding Corporation. We told him about our unfortunate mishap with the previous lender and immediately got to work on a house we wanted to put an offer on. James was thorough, precise and he always kept in contact with us via text/email if there were any changes to our loan and gave us phenomenal advice even after we closed! Most importantly he was also so patient with me when I asked him probably 20 million questions about the process! I couldn't recommend a better loan officer. James will always be straightforward with you and get the best deal. Thanks again James !

We have been thrilled with the exceptional professionalism, responsiveness, and pleasant service we…read morehave received from Chris, Bryce, Danielle, and the rest of the team from start to finish. They have always been patient in educating us as first-time home buyers, and we never questioned that they were working in our best interest. They quickly ran many different scenarios and provided pre-approval letters for us on multiple properties that didn't come through, and finally for the house where our offer was accepted. One of the reasons we went with Chris and his team was their extensive experience and deep knowledge related to renovation loans (203k and HomeStyle) and conventional non-renovation loans, which gave us flexibility to switch to a different type of loan if the home we are purchasing did not end up qualifying for a non-renovation loan. We appreciated them expediting the appraisal, which was critical for this determination and luckily resulted in what we were hoping for. We always received quick, helpful, and easy to understand responses from Chris and Bryce, even on evenings, weekends, and Father's Day. Our loan was fully approved in about 2.5 weeks, even with a 5 week closing timeline. The rate we received was highly competitive. We have had absolutely zero complaints or hiccups throughout many, many months of working with Chris and the team, and we would unquestionably recommend Chris to friends and use him again.

I was able to provide all my financial information for my loan application and few days later I received my loan approval. They were able to give me a very competitive interest rate as well! Once I put my first offer in they were working tirelessly to do all the behind the scenes work. They would send me emails about loan process update and were available to talk to text anytime. I was very happy with my first condo purchase! Even after the condo was closed the First Home Mortgage team was open to answering my questions about all the new home owner mail I received. I would recommend this mortgage company to any new buyer!

I kept my word from the review I posted about Bruce four years ago when he helped us purchase our…read morefirst home. We just closed on our second property (first investment property) yesterday and Bruce rose to the occasion once again! Whether financing a primary residence or investment property, Bruce is highly responsive, top notch, and gets the job done. In the home stretch of getting the property under contract, I pinged Bruce on July 4th weekend about a last minute change to my offer. He was probably near water, reclined in a lawn chair, sipping a cold beverage of choice. He jumped out of his chair (as I imagined it), dawned a cape, and got me what I needed to secure the property! Bruce is a super hero to me and I look forward to posting great things about him again when I acquire or refinance my next property.

Bruce is my go-to loan officer. As a Real Estate agent myself; Bruce has helped many of my past…read moreclients and they always comment on his expertise and his high-level of customer service. So it is no surprise; that I also use Bruce for my own personal lending needs. I have found that not only does he provide a high-level of service; he also has a wealth of experience and knowledge of the lending industry. His loan interest rates are very competitive with other lending institutions and their underwriting guidelines are in-line with industry norms. However; the lending process is MUCH easier than other "big banks" as Bruce follows the loan through the entire process. I highly recommend Bruce for all your lending needs.

We completely loved working with him and my mom's a tough one to crack. Kyle answered all of my questions and I had a lot because I was a first time home buyer. I had no idea what to do or what to expect and he guided me making me feel at ease. He had an answer for everything and that made my confidence grow immensely. He is a true professional and an expert in his field. I look forward to working with him again. He's trustworthy and super knowledgeable. I truly enjoyed learning from his advice and I felt like he was always looking out for my best interests. Thank you Kyle!

The homebuying process as a first time buyer was difficult for me for a number of reasons - my…read moreagent was awful and completely unhelpful, I bought during the summer months so houses were flying off the market within days, and I was constantly disappointed by the houses I toured. Everything turned around for me once I started working with Bob (Robert) and Jessica. I called them at all hours of the day with a million and one questions and they were not only responsive, but also patiently explained every little detail that I was confused about (which was a lot). Bob came up with several different loan scenarios for me, all of which included every incentive program that I qualified for. After speaking with a number of different lenders and real estate agents, I realized that things like city-specific financial incentives are not common knowledge, even among experts in the trade. Bob knows his stuff and ended up saving me a LOT of money. He even called me once to say, "Great news - I just found a way to save you $1,500." Need I say more? I was also extremely grateful for Jessica, Bob's assistant. One time, Bob was in a meeting and normally, that's usually a sign to the client that they'll have to wait for a call back, but Jessica was so knowledgeable about my files and current situation, that she was able to help me with all that I needed herself. Bob also called to follow up after his meeting. Double win. I never even had to step foot in their office. I usually never write online reviews, but I really cannot say enough about Bob and Jessica at First Home Mortgage. If you couldn't already tell, I highly recommend!
