VA IRRL and Purchase

 Brent Mendelson and team at Capital Bank did a phenomenal job with my refi. Great communication made the process painless and carefree. They were easy to work with and accommodating at every turn to ensure I had the best rate and closing was quick and hassle free. Thank you Brent!  Great job!

VA condo purchase in Virginia. 2nd tier entitlement. TOUGH loan. But we did it.

We had been working with a big-name national bank to secure a pre-approval, but we were running into all the usual big-bank frustrations: stuck in the automated phone system trying to talk to a real person, getting passed back and forth between agents, trying to decipher long checklists written in their jargon, etc.  Our real estate agent reached out to Brent Mendelson at First Mariner for some advice on a particular question about our VA loan, and Brent's response was so prompt and knowledgeable that we decided to drop the big bank immediately and start working with Brent.  He walked us through the entire process with attention to detail and a personal customer service that I have rarely experienced in any industry.  He was seemingly always accessible (even on evenings and weekends) to answer our questions.  We were using a VA eligibility with a slightly unusual property/situation, but we managed to close on time with a competitive rate with the VA loan no problem.  We recommend Brent and First Mariner to our friends and family who are now in the market for a home/mortgage.

Brent was great, always easy to get and he beat the rates of Navy Fed and USAA and by quite a bit.
I was a little worried about using an out of state lender but everything was just as he said it would be and I will come back if we ever move but with the rate he got us it may be awhile.

I had a great experience using Brent and 1st Mariner Mortgage.  He took the time to explain to me just what I was committing to as well as what I can expect each step of the loan process. He was available to me whenever I needed to talk to him or ask him questions.  He explained to me the loan process in terms that I could clearly understand and ensured that I was comfortable with how things were moving along the way. More importantly he was there for me in person at closing to ensure that everything went smoothly and that I was taken care of.  If you have any doubts about using Brent then please rest assured from a previous customer.  You can not be in better hands.
