He shopped options, answered questions quickly, and was always transparent about rates, fees, and what to expect. What stood out most was how professional and steady he was from start to finish.

If you're looking for a mortgage broker who is sharp, trustworthy, and easy to work with, I would absolutely recommend Brian.

I had to make a competitive offer on a condo in DC and was able to tell the seller that I could close by the end of the month. From the time of a ratified contract to settlement, it only took the team 7 business days. This is unheard of by any lender in the business, especially for a condo which requires condo docs. Not only that, I got a very competitive rate from George Mason and I can say that after 2 previous purchases and 1 refi, this is the best lending experience one could ask for. Thank you!!!

When applying for the loan with Misty at our local Navy Fed, she input all our information, did a "soft pull" of our credit scores and quoted a probable 8.5% APR for the loan. We are 6 years from paying off our home, we own our 2 cars (no debt there), we are both retired Marines with retirement income in addition to my husband's surgical technician job income, and my credit card is at $0. Heather Burrow wa assigned to me as an email contact during the application process. When the loan application went through, she sent an email saying Navy Fed approved our equity loan at 14.5%....what?! I get a better rate through my credit card @12% through USAA. I emailed Heather Burrow to decline the loan, and I didn't hear from her for 6 days. And everyday I didn't her from her I was getting automated emails reminding me I had a task to complete in order to get the equity loan. I actually had to call last night the number at the bottom of her email. The person I talked to (I wish I remembered her name) was so very helpful...she withdrew my application and stopped the auto generated reminders. Oh, and after not hearing from Heather Burrow for 6 days (my contact for my equity loan application) sends me an email today and says she will send in my withdraw of my a loan application but it could take a couple before I stop receiving emails. She was not there to answer questions or even withdraw the application, but at least the person I called yesterday could do what she couldn't. Very disappointed in Navy Federal on the loan rate and the absent contact person for the loan application process. It's like she works from home and only works when she feels like it, 6 days and no response?! Overall, a great banking institution but you're not going to get a good loan rate or active response unless you talk to someone in person. My USAA has a better credit card rate by 2.5% than their home equity loan...make that make sense

If you complain, they flag your account because they can't provide a valid reason for having an unreliable system. But they expect you to be a loyal customer and continue doing business with them. After this review, my account will be flagged for another 6 months because of the negative review. But it will be worth it.

I wish I could give this sham of a company zero stars…read more Unfortunately, I was a client of City Lending in pursuit of a mortgage for my first home purchase. We worked with Loan Officer Kennedy and his team for this loan. The service was pitiful and I am in shock that we were able to close on our home. We put the offer on this house May 15th and were accepted on May 20th. Kennedy and his team began working on our loan and based on email threads we received, it was clear that for a good chunk of time, between May and June, nothing had been completed on the papers. My fiancé and I were actively replying and quick to send any documents requested, typically with a 24-hour turnaround time. We were set to settle on June 24th before my fiancé and I had to leave town for a work trip. That gave the team about four and a half weeks to complete our loan. From the beginning, Kennedy knew that we were using the MD Smart Buy Program and promised that it would be cleared within days due to a contact he had at the state office. Weeks went by where we only heard from the underwriter and on June 17th, a HOLIDAY weekend, the underwriter urgently calls us at 3 PM asking us to submit a BRAND NEW 20-page document ASAP as it was needed for the state application. WHY this document wasn't sent to us WEEKS prior - I do not know. My fiancé and I were out of town with no access to the files and resources needed to fill this out. Sadly, it was a holiday weekend and Monday then became moot in terms of submission to state as nobody was working. Now, we are heading into a 4-day work week in which our state application has YET to be submitted and we are supposed to close Friday at 9AM. Kennedy and the underwriter go silent and say they've submitted it to the state, despite their claims the application was done"2.5 week prior". Once the state confirms receipt, the state asks for additional information that was missing from the initial submission. Again, this was information Kennedy and the underwriter failed to request from us in advance of submission. Now, it's Friday AM and we are not closing on time, we are asked to push until 3 PM. Kennedy writes again stating that we are not closing and the best he can do is Monday, but told the Title company Tuesday. He was not transparent at ALL throughout this process and every day that went by felt even more like we were being lied to. Eventually, Monday rolls around with no settlement and more lies/evading the truth. Tuesday rolls around, same story. At some point Tuesday, someone from City Lending called the LISTING agent and told them lies that we were refusing to come to settlement, escalating the entire situation even further. The sellers were depending on our purchase for them to go and purchase their new house. At end of day Tuesday, the state replied back to Kennedy and his team that there were 27 outstanding items on the submission they sent in. This was a variety of incorrect dates, mistakes on their part, and missing documents. End of day Tuesday the revised application was sent back to the state. Eventually, we get the email the state has reviewed and accepted the application and now it is back to City Lending for final review and to the title company. Wednesday AM rolls around and we are hopping on another flight having to reschedule our fourth notary appointment due to City Lending lack of urgency and competency. We land in our new state and now have an afternoon appointment with a notary. Our title company has yet to receive the paperwork for review before they can release it to the notary company for print then travel to our meeting location. After 5PM EST, the papers are in and by the grace of God and a very kind Title Company executive, we sign our paper's This chaotic story should convey how poorly handled this situation was. City Lending should be ashamed of their business practices. This is not how your treat clients who are eager, ready, and quick to provide documentation. I will NEVER use their services again and I will be sure to let any person buying a home know not to pursue this business. The fact we even had to pay the lending team sickened me to my core - the only thing we got out of this was a week of pure stress, a ruined business trip, and many burnt bridges. Do yourself a favor and do not use City Lending.

A couple of days later, I came back to the same location of where the ATM however I soon discovered that there is no branch there. So I looked the place up online and found out yet again, there's really no branches anywhere, except for one! I thought to myself- This is perfect! I called first before I came to ye branch in Tyson's Corner. Get this- the person who I spoke with is the same person who is helping me setup the account some three hours later. Over never experienced that kind of service at any bank in my entire life. I have a good feeling that things will go well with my new account!
