VA buyer, 1st time home owner in Maryland

 Brent has made my family and I’s first time buying a house insanely smooth and comfortable.

He was there for me at any time no matter what. Thank you Brent for everything you have done for my family and I! I will recommend Brent and this team to EVERYONE who is even thinking of getting on the market! Thank you again! 5 plus stars

Brent Mendelson and his team were terrific and helped us purchase our new home against a very tight deadline! He went above and beyond to ensure that we were able to close on time. I would highly recommend him

VA purchase, 2nd time client.

This is my 2nd time working with Brent and 1st Mariner Mortgage and I am always honestly surprised at just how professional and easy they make buying a house. 

Brent shows his dedication to his customers through unexpected ways.  He drove 2 hours in traffic to attend closing to make sure that everything went smoothly (which it did).  Brent made himself available to me nights and weekends when I called to ask questions.  I had numerous lenders give me rates and he beat them all.  The rates he offered me were bar none the best I saw.  Lastly, his background on VA loans and how they work made my entire process go smoothly.  I cannot speak more highly about him and working with 1st Mariner Mortgage.

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).

“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.”

Brent Mendelson is the perfect mortgage banker for prospective homeowners. A few months ago we were considering a home purchase in Montgomery County. Brent promptly responded to my queries on Trulia.com. He was friendly, honest and patient with us throughout the process. As a military family, we were moving blindly to the area. He gave us advice and basic information about communities with and around Montgomery County. Ultimately, we found our dream home in Frederick County. As we started the process of securing the mortgage, he was always up front about all costs associated with closing. During the final few days of the closing, he was available to answer our smallest questions, whenever they arose, even on weekends. Thanks to his professionalism, our closing went without any problems and we are now proud homeowners. If we ever buy or refinance again in this area, Brent will definitely be our banker. We also plan to recommend his services to our friends if they choose to buy. Thanks Brent.

"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!!
