Washington DC Purchase 3rd time client.

Brent is a very accomplished and trustworthy loan officer. He helped me and my family through two home purchases and one refinancing. Purchasing a new home is always overwhelming for me and Brent made the process to the point and he always had great guidance. He investigated every facet of my mortgage application and found many opportunities for savings. I feel very comfortable with Brent and will continue to use his services in the future. In addition he is always a phone call or an email away!

DC First time home buyer

" I had an excellent relationship with Brent.  Over the course of 12 months I bid on four houses before finally placing the winning bid on the fifth house.  Brent was there all the way through each of the offers providing the updated files and required letters to expedite the process.  Brent took a very personal approach to getting the job done.   At one point he was on vacation with his family but spent part of his vacation time on the phone with me satisfying the requirements of the seller.  I was definitely pleased with his service and give him an unqualified very positive reference"

Testimonial for Brent Mendelson,

Brent was the loan officer that I felt most comfortable working with. I was a first time home buyer and after talking with Brent I knew he was my man to help me through loan process. Brent is knowledgeable, connected, and walk you through each step. He also understands individual cases and circumstances and works on a loan that fits you. I highly recommend Brent for your Loan needs. He truly is the best.

VA Purchase 1st time home buyer

Brent Mendelson is an awesome loan officer. My husband and I knew we wanted to buy a home and use his VA loan benefits but we had no idea what was needed and how we should go about the process, so I posted a question on a home buyer’s forum. Brent responded to my question that same day and was very helpful. At that time my husband and I decided to wait a year and start the home buying process at the beginning of 2014. I reached out to Brent again in January 2014 and he responded to me immediately as if no time had lapsed. Brent went through our finances and my husband’s credit report and gave us some tips on how we could improve my husband’s credit score so we would be able to obtain pre approval for a home loan. My husband and I followed all of the steps Brent gave us and within six months we had improved my husband’s credit and we were able to get pre approval.

 Brent was very helpful throughout the months prior to my husband and I getting our pre approval and would answer any questions we had. Once we had our pre approval Brent even helped us to find a realtor in our local area where we wanted to buy. Since we were using the VA loan Brent advised us on what to look for when choosing a house and what the VA would look at when inspecting the property. While going through the home search Brent would call or email us regularly to check and see how things were going. We found a wonderful home after a couple of months of looking and Brent made sure the underwriting process was as smooth as possible. I had a lot of fears about the underwriting process and everything went much better than I expected. I would definitely recommend Brent Mendelson to anyone looking to purchase or refinance a home. My husband and I will definitely use his services again in the future.

I purchased my first home this year. A close friend who previously worked with Brent recommend him to me. Working with Brent was great. He was knowledge about the various mortgage programs available and was able to recommend the best mortgage option for me. He took the time to answer all of my questions and most importantly was always available and responsive to my requests. He is thorough, diligent and knowledge. I would highly recommend him.

VA IRRL repeat customer.

I've had the pleasure of working with Brent on two separate occasions with seven years separation in between. Even when we weren't doing business he would call to check on how things were going with my home and send Christmas cards as well. It's those acts of kindness that let me know I'm just not another business transaction to Brent. It was only right for me to contact him when I chose to refinance my house. Much like the fist time the process was painless, transparent and educational.

I like how Brent takes the time to explain what's going on, many times before I even ask questions. When I did have questions, Brent was very patient in explaining thing in laymen's terms. When unexpected requirement came up for me to provide documentation there was no mystery as to why they were not asked for originally. Never at any point did I feel like I was under pressure to do anything I didn't feel comfortable doing. All in all, I really can't imagine a more pleasant experience working with a loan officer and I would kindly recommend Brent Mendelson for any type of financial home loan. If he doesn't have the answer he will surely point you in the right direction and be available for any questions. He truly builds long lasting, professional relationships!

VA purchase with 10,000 FHLB grant money!!

Being a military family in a time crunch and first time homebuyers can be very intimidating. In today's world where information is freely available on the Internet it is essential to speak with a professional who evidently knows and understands his market. I would highly recommend Brent especially for the VA loan if you are in the service. Brent quickly laid out our options, sought out the appropriate offers and grants available and guided us carefully through the process.  We closed on time and were able to move into our new home! We are very thankful for all of Brent's hard work and will return to him in the future!

DC FHA streamline refinance

I’ve had the opportunity to work with several loan officers in my life.  Working with Brent Mendelson was clearly the best experience that I have encountered.  He was patient, highly skilled and informative, and implemented all of the required activities in a timely manner.   What lingers in my mind is the follow-up – inevitably, there are answers provided to you that are forgotten, or ones that never crossed your mind during the business at land.  This follow-up and willingness to be available sealed the deal for me! He is an outstanding officer.

Conventional NY Refinance

Brent was able to do the research and take all the necessary steps to push my extremely difficult and complex refinancing through in New York City.  He truly went above and beyond to get the job done.  After most banks claimed it would be too challenging, he stepped up with the solution and the best possible service.

"His own lender couldn't do the loan. It probably was the hardest refinance I have ever done.
It was a condo, non occupant co-borrower, taking someone off of title, self employed, CEMA loan in NY to avoid about 12,000 in additional taxes."

Dear Brent,

It's such a pleasure for me to write this letter.  I apologize for not sending it sooner, but after moving in we quickly began the work of making the house you made possible, our home.

Thank you for everything you did to make our dream home a reality.  While it was not an easy road, you stuck with me when I know others would have thrown in the towel.  While I was not referred to you by anyone, I truly believe you were the right person for the job.  Always professional, but also extremely endearing, your "can do" attitude was just what I needed to keep me focused and at times, motivated. 

Thank You for not just being a voice on the other end of the phone, but someone I felt truly had my best interest at heart.  Your honesty was always appreciated, as was the candor!  I will not hesitate to recommend family and friends to you and I know they will walk away as happy as we are!

Hope to see you soon in Baltimore

Connecticut VA Jumbo Purchase

To whom it may concern,

My wife Stacie and I wanted to thank and recognize Brent Mendelson for all his professional advice, superior support and trustworthiness in the successful closing on our home in Connecticut on May 30 2014. Brent was referred to us by our financial advisor mid-April 2014. From that point on, Brent worked diligently to get our VA loan "cleared to close." Brent was very supportive throughout the loan process and went above and beyond the call of duty under some very tight timelines. Brent definitely knows his profession. I have and will continue to refer potential clients to Brent. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me (see below).

Delaware home purchase loan

Brent was referred to me by a childhood friend of mine, and I must say that I was very lucky for that referral.  Brent was given a very short time frame to work with (30 days).  He was very personable and professional during the whole process.  Brent made the usual mountain of paperwork  seem very simple by constantly checking in with me and walking me through any thing I was not sure about.  During the process I never felt as if I was working with a voice on the other end of the phone, I always felt like I was being taken care of by a friend.  I would and will highly recommend Brent to anyone in the future that is looking to refinance or purchase a new home.

SC 1st time homebuyers. VERY SWEET

 My husband and I were starting a family so we decided to purchase our first home. Brent was recommended by my sister-in-law as a professional who would provide great help and guidance when we needed it. And she was 100% right.
From the very beginning-when we had no idea where to start from and what to do, until the actual closing on the home he was patient with us, understanding and always there for us.
    What I really liked was that he prepared us for the worst case scenario. So what could have happened afterwards could only become better. Throughout the 6 months of house search I had spoken to many lenders but they all painted a beautiful picture and gave me luring settlement numbers. But not Brent. He chose to be realistic, not competitive. And that was the right thing to do for us.
    It was a bumpy roller coaster ride but while I am writing this testimonial I am watching the snow fall down through the window of our own home and I know that in 1 month, when our son gets born, we have the right home to raise him in. It is a feeling like no other.
   Thank you, Brent! We could not have that peace in our hearts without you.


   Sincerely:
   Val S.

Brent's knowledge of the mortgage industry is unparalleled. But what makes him truly unique is his ability to pass that information to his client's in an easy-to-understand manner. Through my first home buying and two subsequent refi's, Brent has walked me step by step through the process and also helped me raise my credit score. Use him, you won't be disappointed.
