DC refinance 1st time client

Brent is AMAZING! It was my first time refinancing and had so many questions. He made me feel comfortable and addressed all my concerns. He is very personable and made the entire process as seamless as possible. I was very impressed with his response time at different hours of the day. He was honest and upfront from day one. I've since referred him to my sister!

The service rendered by Brent Mendelson was outstanding. With a busy schedule, I felt comfortable with the manner in which communication took place. Importantly, all of my questions were skillfully and professionally addressed. The service and personal touch were exceptional and an infrequent occurrence these days.

Brent Mendelson is quite simply the best in the business! There is no one more knowledgeable or professional, and no one better who guides you through the entire process. This is critical in the current mortgage banking environment. Brent is an excellent communicator that articulates key steps and timing concisely and precisely. I have done 5 transactions with Brent and he will help you navigate each step of the way. If you are looking for the very best, look no further. Brent is the man.

Dearest Brent,
 
I can't thank you enough for your advice, guidance, enthusisasm and patience with me over the course of the last five months. Our first phone call was in April-when I couldn't even spell "condominium" and now here I am in September as a D.C. homeowner! Your sense of humor balanced with a calm demeanor and incredible subject matter experience were a welcomed approach to this arduous and anxiety filled process. Your responsiveness to my many, many, MANY inquiries were always timely, you made me feel like I was your most important client. Thank you for seeing everything through to fruition.

 With my sincerest gratitude,

Repeat buyer DC condo purchase

I've now worked with Brent twice in the last ten years. You couldn't ask for a better mortgage banker to work with! Brent has gone above and beyond both times; before, during and after the home buying process. He works hard to ensure that everything goes smoothly and to ensure that all your questions are answered. I couldn't recommend Brent enough if you're considering purchasing a home."

I want to thank you and your team  in what Brent calls making me "the newest homeowner in DC." As a poor kid from Richmond, Va. who wanted his shot, I couldn't have imagined that I'd be a homeowner by the age of 24; I had a person TELL ME that it was only acceptable to buy a property until after 30. That was thanks to all of you. There were some hairy moments and times I just wanted to be done with it all; however you didn't do that. Whether, it's because of the responsibilities in your position or that you just get and understand the people you are aiding in improving their lives. I can't thank you enough.

For some, this is our last business encounter(at least until the 6th year) and others it's only the beginning. Thank you once more and I hope you all enjoy your year...because I know will!

Brent, I hope your wife wasn't too mad at you on me taking up too much of your time on one of our last calls.

Respectfully,

Thank you again Brent. You have made the buying experience an enjoyable experience. You and your team was awesome. I may need to revisit a loan for a cheaper investment/rental property late this year or early next year and will definitely come back when ready!

Condo refinance, 2nd time clients. FHA to conventional

I wanted to just write and let you know how much we appreciate all you have done  to help us finance Jen’s condo, TWICE!  You have been a wonderful support and guide and we appreciate it very much.  I imagine the days of refinancing are coming to an end soon, with the expected rise in interest rates,  so I am pretty sure this is it for the condo. But again, thanks for all your help and getting us through the process!!

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.

DC purchase. 1st time buyer

Working with Brent was a real pleasure.  As a first-time home buyer, I was inexperienced and knew little about the process and everything that was involved.  Throughout the process I relied on Brent's knowledge, guidance, and consultation.

Luckily for me, Brent got on a call with me on a Friday evening and we were able to lock in a very good rate - right before rates jumped the next week.  In the end, this one phone call saved me a lot of money.

Finally, Brent held true to the closing date we set, even though negotiations pushed it right to the brink.  This was a huge help for me.

I would recommend Brent to any of my friends, family, or colleagues.  He is professional and certainly gets the job done.

"As first time homeowners, my wife and I were a little apprehensive about the home buying process and securing a loan.  We shopped around a bit for a bank/loan officer, but once we talked to Brent we knew the search was over.  Brent provided us with a full range of options and took all of the guesswork out of the entire loan process.  He was always available to answer any questions and never hesitated to answer the same question 2, 3, or 4 times, which was very important to us as first time homeowners.  We also really liked the fact that Brent was very friendly, easy to talk to, and transparent about the entire process.  We are so pleased with Brent and all the folks at First Mariner that his name is the first (and only) name we mention to our friends and family who are also looking to buy a house." 

Cheers,

Brent did an outstanding job in the purchase of my new home.  I had explored other lenders and he was able to offer the most competitive rate and greatest flexibility in structuring my new loan.  He helped me every step of the way from pre-qualification to settlement.  I was most impressed with how how he always took the time to respond to my many questions and in a very timely fashion.   I highly recommend Brent to my family and friends. 

Hope this helps and thanks again for making this all come together!
