Purchase Fairfax county Virgina

Brent was referred to me by my settlement company. His rates were competitive at the lender he worked for at the time. I ultimately chose him to originate my loan because he was extremely thorough, communicated professionally and offered me multiple options that would work best for me. He never once rushed or pushed me to a decision. Glad I went with Brent because he made sure my loan closed on time and as-sold.

After origination he left the lender he was working for which worried me at the time. However he was committed and continued to follow my loan application through to closing even after moving onto his new company. There were some changes I encountered after the underwriter's review and Brent made sure all those issues were corrected before closing. Truly an honest guy I was not expecting him to jump in and take over the way he did since he was working with a new lender. Another team member at his former lender had taken over my application and was not as responsive as Brent was. Brent's service and communication were far superior than his old colleagues. Every lender and organization needs a person like Brent.

I can't attest enough how he went beyond my expectations. After closing he even called to follow up to ensure I knew what to expect. Great person to work with for the loan. This is my third new mortgage (not including a few refinances) and he's even better than family I've used in the past. You won't find a better mortgage loan officer.

3rd time client refinance

Brent has refinanced for me several times, including after a divorce when I needed to buy my ex out of her share. He provided clear options that helped me decide on the best approach for me. When problems arose outside of this, he also provided a great option for getting a HELOC that helped put me where I needed to be financially. I would recommend him to anyone.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Brent several times over the last 12 years. In every case he has been extremely professional, helpful and honest in all areas. Even during those times when I had ‘just one more question’ he never got frustrated and was always willing to help in any way he could.  I would highly recommend reaching out to Brent the next time the opportunity presents itself.

From the very beginning when we started this home process Brent was amazing. We called him day and night for his advice and to run numbers for us. He was there to help us with any questions and calm my anxiety about the process. I would recommend him to everyone he is very knowledgeable and gave us great advice. Not only was he there through the entire process but his recommendations for inspectors and insurance could not have been better. The quality of customer service and care from everyone he put me in contact with was the highest I could have ever asked for and because of it I am very confident in the home we bought. This is the second home we have purchased with Brent and we will continue to use him in the future.

DC 1st time buyer.

"Brent Mendelson is the best thing since sliced bread in my opinion. Brent did in just a few short days what no other Lenders could do in 3 1/2 weeks.  Mr. Mendelson was very polite, very professional and kind enough to work on my loan as soon as he returned from his honeymoon. For fast and exact, top of the notch service, Brent Mendelson is the person to have on your side. I would recommend Brent Mendelson to anyone that is seeking a professional loan officer that knows his stuff inside and out."

After comparing with over 10 lenders and brokers, I settled on Brent Mendelson based on the outstanding interest rate and closing fees.  There were several examples during the closing process where we almost ran into snags, but Brent went out of his way to negotiate with all parties to ensure that there were no problems."

Baltimore City purchase, rehab and some crazy twists at the end.

In a truely insane process, Brent was the most helpful person a first-time buyer could have hoped for.  My purchase of a rowhome in Baltimore City that needed renovation turned into an adventure that would scare most buyers out of the market for good.  Brent navigated me through all phases of the process well beyond what I would have expected from my mortgage broker, and acted positively on my behalf when the process met some very unexpected hurdles.  He'll be the first and only recommendation I have to any friends or family looking to finance their purchase of a home in the Baltimore/Washington area."

Germantown refinance

I really appreciate everything Brent did for me to refinance my mortgage. He was pleasant to work with especially after having a bad experience the first time I refinanced my loan. After shopping around for loan rates Brent offered the best rate in the area. I picked Brent not only for his competitive rate but also for his can-do attitude. He was very friendly and courteous throughout the process. I am very happy & satisfied with the outcome. I would definitely use him again..thanks for everything you did."

I can honestly say Brent Mendelson made my first home buying experience a very pleasant one. From our first conversation he explained each and every option that was available to me and I never felt pressured into any decision. My phone calls were handled in a professional and timely manner. All in all I really couldn't imagine my home buying process being any easier. Even now that the deal is done I would still feel 100% comfortable calling Brent with any questions. He extended his expertise beyond the scope of the business deal and I look forward to contacting Brent for my next home purchase. Thanks for everything Brent!! "

Brent is a very nice person. Brent is honest, very reliable and he is very concerned about his customers. I think he goes above and beyond his duties. I am very proud to recommend Brent to anyone."

3 time client.

My experience working with Brent was a pleasure. He was completely upfront about the costs and whether the deal made sense financially. In fact, when I explained my situation, he advised me not to refinance unless the current terms improved even though it cost him business. When he later contacted me about a better deal, I jumped at it because he had earned my trust."

Brent did a great job helping my wife and I put together our mortgage in a fast manner.  His efficiency mattered because we had a seller who wanted to move quickly in a hot market and who was looking for any excuse to move on to any other interested potential buyer.  Brent provided hands on service,  was very enthusiastic about helping us, and was just a pleasure to work with.
