Silver Spring Refinance

We were very pleased with our re-fi through Brent and 1st Mariner. Brent was professional and explained the process in detail. The rate he offered was very competitive and the free float down made the decision an easy one. We have recommended him to friends and colleagues and are happy to do so again.

Brent,

I just wanted to take a minute to say thank you for how easy you made my last refinance. Even though we never met, I always felt like you were in my corner. It was pretty easy and I certainly plan on referring you other clients to take advantage of the low rates on these VA loans. Thanks again.

Brent was vital in closing on my home.  Without his intimate knowledge of the ins-and-outs of my assistance program, as well as his tenacity to achieve results, I would have not closed on the home and would have definitely lost it to someone else.  I strongly recommend Brent, and First Mariner to any and all first time home-buyers out there.

He did it again.  Brent Mendelson made my mortgage refinance painless.  I know that he is working for me and keeps my best interest in mind.  I have never hesitated to ask that "one more question" because I know that it will be answered in an honest and professional manner.  I recommend working with Brent Mendelson anytime you need to refinance your home.

Brent,

  I was very happy with the attention to detail and responsiveness shown by Brent as we went through the long paperwork battle required to refinance.  I got a great rate and appreciated his professionalism.  I've already recommended him to a friend.

Happy 1st Time buyer

As a first time home buyer I was very new to the process and Brent went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable.  He not only answered my questions but answered a lot of questions that my family had.  He understood the value I placed in my families opinion and was more than willing to address any concerns they had as well.  To me it spoke volumes to the great loan officer he is that he would, without hesitation, respond and communicate with my family who were not part of the loan.  I offer my highest recommendation for Brent to anyone looking to get a loan and hope that many more people can have the experience I had.

Brent Mendelson is a true professional and a pleasure to work with. He made our re-finances painless and easy, and got us a terrific rate. I highly recommend him." - Sarah, Chevy Chase MD 

DC Condo refinance

Working with Brent was incredibly easy: he guided me through the complicated paperwork, and made himself available to answer questions in a clear and concise manner.  No matter how basic my question, he took them seriously and patiently took the time to explain the process and the reasoning behind everything.  

Other lenders were not able to help with my refinance, due to its unique nature, but Brent made it happen and at a great rate. In fact it was so good we also refinanced our primary home with Brent as well.

My husband and I are repeat clients of Brent Mendelson. If at any point we refinance again or buy a new home, we will turn to Brent. He has always been honest, upfront, and available at anytime to answer questions or concerns.  I have recommended him to multiple friends looking to refinance.

Brent’s customer service was extraordinary! We have re-financed with him twice. At first, we had tried to re-finance with the big bank that held our old mortgage, but they weren’t responsive to our particular needs and they didn’t follow through. Brent took us under his wing. Our experience with both re-finances was outstanding. Brent listened, understood our priorities, worked with us to examine our options. We had a thousand questions, and Brent quickly replied to our emails – evenings and weekends included. He was always willing to take the time to explain.  He went to bat for us, getting us considerations that saved us a lot, all inside the lines of todays tougher lending regulations.  He kept us informed and assured, and we required more than a little hand-holding!  Brent made the whole process easy on us, walking us through the paperwork and the closing. We are very happy with both of our new mortgages, and we are very grateful to Brent for how hard he worked for us.  At the outset, Brent told us he would do everything in his power to get us what we wanted – and he did!

It was a pleasure working with Brent and I recommend him to family and friends. We have no hesitating in stating that you are in good hands with Brent.

Regards,

“Brent and the entire office staff was professional and organized during the loan process when purchasing our home. This was when the mortgage laws were changing and processing was taking longer. Brent and his staff worked tirelessly to process our loan in a speedy fashion all while securing the best rates. We were so impressed that we used Brent a second time when rates reached an all-time low and now have an amazing interest rate. We could not be happier with Brent and the job he did.”

My Favorite testimonial

Hello Brent, I must say that my life has been in a whirlwind since that wonderful Monday, February 13, 2012. My whole routine has changed, for the better, and it took some getting used to. But now things have settled and I have a chance to breathe easy. So I would like to take this chance to just say THANK YOU!!!!! You did everything possible to ensure that I walked a way a new home owner. Not once did you leave me hanging out there, without a clue as to what was going on. You were there every step of the way and for that, I truly thank you. You fought and you fought hard for me. And that applies to loan approvals, rates and HPAP. You were a professional in all aspects. I wish I knew 100 people who were buying houses because I would send them all to you! Brent, I want you to know you helped changed my life. I never thought I would cross the finish line, but you gave me the push I needed to make sure I did. Thank you Brent. I know you give this great service to everyone....I just hope they appreciate it as much as I do. Keep making dreams come true! Sincerely, KL

This is the second time we have worked with Brent to refinance our home and he will be the ONLY guy we look to in the future. He was patient, easy to work with and always around when we had questions. We have referred several friends to him and will do again in the future. Thanks again Brent for coming through as promised and saving us close to $1,000 a month.
