VA IRRL refinance

My experience with Capital Bank was great! Brent Mendelson worked hard to get me a great rate for my VA loan re-fi. He made the process super easy and was accessible to answer any of my questions. He was super responsive - I highly recommend going with him.

VA IRRL 2nd time client

My wife and I were first introduced to Brent Mendelson and 1st Mariner Mortgage through my realtor. It was an excellent choice because Brent did a great job helping guide us through the entire process, offering advice when asked and made sure everything went as smoothly as possible. I only had to visit his office once to sign papers that needed an original signature, the remaining paper work was handled electronically. He was quick to respond to questions, and was extremely knowledgeable but not pushy.  After I settled and was in my home for less than a year, he called to suggest a refi. Per his advice, I was able to save $156.00 a month ($1872.00 yr.) and paid most of the closing costs for us. Both the original loan and the refi were quick and easy and I truly trust Brent. If you pick him and his company, he will be with you every step of the way.

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!

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!

My experience with Brent and 1st Mariner Bank was amazing!!  He was professional, courteous and understanding of my unique situation as a military member with an out of state property.  Brent was very attentive and available to answer any of my questions.  Additionally, he was very knowledgeable about the refinancing process with a VA backed loan and did his best to get me the best rate and payment I needed to meet my financial goals.  I highly recommend him and his services to military members who are looking for someone who can help them navigate the refinance process to protect their assets."  ~ Angela T.

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.

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 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.”
