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. I never felt pressured, and I always felt like he had my best interests in mind. If you're looking for a mortgage broker who is sharp, trustworthy, and easy to work with, I would absolutely recommend Brian.

This review is for VALENTINA WILBER at New America Financial Corporation…read more Where do we start? We were first time home-buyers in the Washington DC area with no knowledge of the home buying process. We were looking to find a local lender to talk to, and were lucky enough to stumble across New America on Zillow. Valentina was our assigned loan consultant, and let me tell y'all, I don't really believe in fate, but the stars really lined up that day. Val was - by no exaggeration - the best thing that happened to us during our house buying process. She's a very positive, energetic, and professional loan officer. What sets her apart from others is her commitment to her customers. She was patient with explaining all the ins and outs, and I've lost count of how many times she responded to our texts within minutes - even on a Sunday afternoon! Val and team put together an aggressive timeline for closing, which is what ultimately got us our house in a multiple offer situation! If you're looking to buy or refinance in the DMV area, we strongly recommend working with Val at New America Financial Corporation.

"I have been referring friends and family to Brent Mendelson since my first home purchase in 2014…read more I called him again in 2019 to make sure we were financially sound to finance a new home. He helped me make sure everything was in order and in 2020 Brent helped us finance our second home. Then again in 2021, he helped us get an amazing refinance for a much lower rate. Brent is by far the most knowledgeable, professional and honest mortgage broker I have ever worked with. His personal attention to detail is a great comfort to me. He knows the ins and outs of the VA loan and we received the best possible rate in the craziest of Covid times. I have the utmost confidence recommending Brent Mendelson at Capital Bank knowing that my friends and family are handled with exceptional customer service and professionalism."

Was interested in refinancing so I did some research and also gave Brent Mendelson of Capital Bank…read morea call. Brent was responsive, explained the process, and made it super easy to get a great rate with low costs AND help us to quickly close on our refinance. The only disappointment - we weren't able to beat Brent's 9-day start-to-close record! The Capital Bank website and portal to support the loan process were also user friendly and quite good. If I have ever have home financing needs again I will be sure to look at Capital Bank again and/or call Brent Mendelson. Full disclosure - this is the second loan where I've worked with Brent (first was for first-time home buyer house purchase). If you cannot tell based on my repeat usage I would highly recommend that anyone interested in a home loan reach out to Brent. If you don't have a loan guy, Brent should be your guy!

They have an efficient, seamless process and the departments all work together well so that your file is never stagnant. I closed in under 4 weeks which was awesome. The problem was that my loan officer Francki DiFrancesco repeatedly lied and mislead me about working on lowering my interest rate. She was careful to do this by phone so that there wasn't a paper trail and then by the time she admitted the rate wouldn't change, it was too late. I had to close or lose my $14,000 earnest money deposit and my condo. I wish I worked with anyone at Apex besides Francki.

The interest rate was questionable at first, but we felt more comfortable when my credit union offered a higher rate. Matt Lieberman was very helpful from beginning to end. He answered our questions very quickly. He was also just a phone call, email, or text away. Matt was also very flexible with our schedules since we also work in car sales. I'm also very surprised we didn't have any problems leading up to closing. They did it in less than 25 days! Everything is what we expected! We were also concerned with our commission-based income, but Matt and his team were able to work with us! He assured us 100% that everything should be okay and he was right. We also loved the engraved cutting board gift. We appreciate your team. Thank you Matt, Angie, and Debra!

We ended up communicating almost on a daily basis and across media (text, phone, email, even video call). He patiently walked us through new concepts like the itemization of closing costs, the rate float-down program, and the differences between the Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD). We also appreciate his deep investment in the MoCo community including serving on the PTA board of a local elementary school. That level of integrity shone through in our interactions. In fact, he ended up being the most trustworthy and dependable member of our entire closing "team." We can't recommend him highly enough.

They guided us through the checklist of requirements and made the whole process less stressful. Michael and his team are trustworthy, reliable, and look out for your best interest (even if it means a longer discussion on the pros and cons of each loan option). They also stay connected after the home purchase and keep you abreast of current rates and options. I've recommended Apex to my colleagues and friends because we really benefited from their expertise!

She gave us recommendations to maximize curb appeal with her stylish eye, stepped in to refer general contractors and project managed the entire process. The house looked amazing when it listed!

We strongly recommend Dawn and her services. She's definitely a gem of a realtor!

I've had the pleasure of using Dawn for both buying and selling a home and I could not recommend…read moreher more. We first used Dawn 15 years ago when we were first time home buyers. Dawn was recommended because my wife and I were a little indecisive and could not decide between Virginia and Maryland. Since she's licensed in both Virginia and Maryland, she was able to show us houses in both states; she must have shown us 50 houses. Once we found our home, Dawn guided us through the entire process from bidding through closing. Dawn patiently explained every form we signed and every step and every option we had until we closed on the house. We could not have asked for a better teacher than Dawn for our first home buying experience. Later, we finally were ready to move up to a bigger home and Dawn again came through for us. We found a house we liked and asked Dawn to help us buy it. Offers were required quickly and Dawn immediately found us a mortgage specialist who could get us a pre-approval letter for the offer. We had a weekend and Dawn was able to put together the winning offer on the house that weekend. After we moved, it was time to sell our old townhouse and we were blown away with Dawn's expertise in selling. We hadn't updated the house at all and we were behind on maintenance, but Dawn helped us put together a plan to get the best price for our house. She created a list of improvements we could do that were cost effective; picking out all the furnishing and fixtures to maximize our selling price. She found a general contractor to do all the updates and kept us abreast of their progress. She also guided us through Compass Concierge so we didn't have to pay immediately for any of the improvements. After construction was done, she helped us find cleaners to clean the house and a staging company to stage the house. The house was completely unrecognizable; it looked like something out of HGTV. We sold within a weekend, 25K over our asking price. We were so pleased that we also recommended her to my parents to sell my grandfather's house. She worked her magic and transformed the stale 1980's interior into a modern interior. There was a bidding war and my grandfather's house sold for 90K over asking. My aunts and mom cannot stop raving about her. Whether buying or selling a house, I cannot recommend Dawn more.
