Terrible company. Slow processing. Extremely invasive. Asking for far more information than they need or are entitled to as a mortgage company. Would not recommend to anyone who needs paperwork processed quickly or competently. read more

Purchased my second home last August in less than 30 days. Greg Kundinger was my Loan Originator and did a fabulous job in getting it done! Any question I had in about the process, he was available to answer. The broker compensation percentage was very reasonable based on other broker compensations from other companies which were much higher. I will definitely refinance my home when/if the rates drop. Thank you for helping me fund my loan!! read more

Absolute worst experience of my life. I attempted to buy a home and used HomeFirst because it was recommmened by a relative. My HomeFirst agent, Rosa, was constantly asking that I resend documents, some because she had sent me the wrong ones or her office filled in portions incorrectly. HomeFirst also told me I was approved, then told me several weeks later they had to revoke my approval because they couldnt procure a mortgage lender who would accept my debt to income ratio. Ultimately, I ended up not being able to purchase the home, because HomeFirst didn't provide the paperwork and money wire (which I transferred ASAP once they requested it) and I as the Seller surpassed the deadline. The buyer was fed up, HomeFirst literally botched the buying process twice. I am 26/Government Contractor making $80k. Ultimately I used HF to buy my condo, but it seriously was the most disorganized service that I have ever experienced. I highly would not recommend them. Buying a home is stressful enough; no one should have to endure what I did. read more

Everyone here very professional and really takes the concerns of the home buyer seriously. Very patient with questions and knowledgeable of finance as they walk you through the mortgage process step by step. read more

We have used Anna Greco for a new home loan as as well as several refinances and with excellent results. We have also referred her to several of our friends and colleagues who thanked us profusely for the great referral. Anna is knowledgeable and efficient when processing a loan or refinancing. She provides options depending on your financial situation and works with you, her client. There are no surprises at the end and everything flows smoothly. If you want a loan officer that is professional and processed correctly, we highly recommend Anna Greco. Philippe and Patti Moisa read more

Very happy with the service of JP Poutre and Robert Siegel. Had no issues and they answered questions very patiently and on a timely basis.

JP Poutre was great. He was able to answer all my questions and got us the LOWEST closing costs without any last minute surprises!

Recently, my girlfriend and I were purchasing a condo in DC and were getting our financing through a mortgage company recommended to us by our sales agent. I had refinanced a previous mortgage with Homefirst Mortgage a few years ago and had a great experience with Greg Kundinger, so I reached out to him for a quote. Thanks to Greg's responsiveness, I was better able to negotiate with the mortgage company I was planning to go with. Due to delays with the closing process, our rate lock expired and the mortgage company we were planning to use wanted to charge us a higher rate and fees to get a new rate. I reached out to Greg again and he was able to beat the rate AND offer us lower closing costs without the fees the other lender wanted to charge. At this point, we decided that we were wasting our time with the other company and we made the CORRECT decision, which was to go with Greg and Homefirst Mortgage. Even though we had to go to close quickly after the delays were finally resolved, Greg and his team - Bonnie Neuss - acted quickly to pull all the information together and get us to closing with our financing in place. They answered all of our questions, were responsive, and told us exactly what we needed and when we needed it by. Despite the frantic run up to close in the last few days, Greg and Bonnie stayed calm and helped us to stay calm, even when we didn't know if the close was going to happen because of issues with the city outside of our control. In the end, we closed successfully, and Greg and Bonnie got us there. We are extremely grateful to have had Homefirst Mortgage supporting us. I know we got a great deal on our mortgage and the experience of working with Greg and Bonnie could not be beat. 10/10! read more

My refinancing went extraordinarily well with Home First. Greg Kundinger and Bonnie Neuss were responsive, proactive and unfailingly cooperative. Their online upload feature for documentation worked smoothly and was a great convenience. No excess fees, no surprises and great customer service. Greg even picked up some documents from my tax accountant's office to save time because we were perilously close to losing our lock-in rate. I will definitely use them if I ever need a mortgage broker in the future. I highly recommend HomeFirst. read more

If I could give ANNA GRECO more than 5 stars I would gladly do so. Anna helped me as a first time home buyer in 2005 and she was so amazing that when I moved back to Virginia last year I immediately called her to work with me on my home purchase. She is smart, detail oriented, fast, responsive and will take the time to walk through everything with you in a way that you can understand. She will also tell you like it is and makes sure you get the best possible deal. During my recent home purchase (my 2nd with Anna), we had very little time - my offer was accepted at the end of November and my closing date was January 2nd. Not only was she able to quickly and efficiently turn around all of the paperwork, but she diligently worked to make sure that my closing credit was fully utilized (no small feat since it was quite large). Bottom line, Anna is someone I recommend without reservation - if you want your loan done professionally, efficiently and correctly go see Anna. read more

Exceptionally slow service, a profound lack of customer service and a refreshing sense of entitlement by the brokers distinguish Homefirst from the competition. With a huge amount of mortgage brokers in the market, I would urge you to look for a brokerage that has the ability to close transactions for their clients. read more

We used HomeFirst to refinance our jumbo loan on our home. Both the rate and the service were outstanding. Greg Kundinger (the owner and broker) was superbly professional, friendly, and unfailingly responsive. By the latter, I mean that he would cheerfully respond to every single e-mail I sent him within the hour, with an informative, well-written answer to my question. He even drove by our home a couple of times on his way home from work to drop off documents personally! But the best thing was his willingness to explain the very complex aspects of a GFE and a HUD-1 in simple terms, without seeming put-upon or anything but glad to help. As I mentioned, we got a very good rate, and Greg was able to add some lender money up front to reduce our out-of-pocket costs. Although the bank that ended up buying our loan is a small one in the Midwest and not one we'd previously heard of, the processing of the loan and our monthly direct payments have gone through without any problems. I am utterly shocked by the sole other review on Yelp (as I write this). It is so unlike our experience, I don't know what to make of it. read more

Greg and Bonnie were right on top of my complex financial picture. They recognized early on that with my variety of other real estate they would need to go above and beyond securing the loan. They searched high and low to find the funder to complete our deal and were delightful along the way. read more

Greg wrote a mortgage for a private sale within my family, and I was pre-approved through him on a mortgage for my own home purchase. Throughout both transactions, Greg was HIGHLY knowledgeable about both the mortgage AND home purchase process. When I sold a property to my mother, Greg was knowledgeable about the specifics of a private sale, and was able to ensure the transaction went off without a hitch. When it came time for my fiance and I to purchase our own home, we contacted him in August 2020 to begin investigating our purchase options, and went through the formal pre-approval process in December 2020. Every step of the way, Greg was there with suggestions about what would be the best option for our situation, and knew how to handle a tricky student loan situation that another lender wasn't familiar with. He knew exactly how to structure the contract to address our situation - a non-married couple with significantly different income levels and credit scores. Although we eventually went with another lender, it was honestly Greg's work getting us pre-approved and securing an objectively fantastic loan offer that led to us purchasing our house. I couldn't recommend Greg more, especially for first-time home buyers, or those with non-traditional financial situations. Please give Greg your business! read more

I agree with the previous reviewer. I wish I had searched for a review before going with them, but it was a recommendation from my real estate agent, whom I trusted. While they came through in the end, I got verification the day before closing, and in those tense days before when I was being asked to jump through hoops to get one more document, I often didn't get calls/emails returned in a timely manner to assure me that they'd been received and things were moving along. I got a good rate, but the "Good Faith Estimate" came in about $1,500 less than what my actual closing costs were because they underestimated the number of months that I would pay up front in taxes (2 instead of the required 6). Surely they knew this but wanted to woo me with a lower cost estimate. In the end, I would have paid that money anyway, but not to know how much my actual closing costs would be until the day of closing and having them come in $1,500 more is really unacceptable, especially when they just gave me the figures without a word. It's arrogant and sorely lacking in customer service. You can do better! read more
