First time buyers in Virginia

 We don't know what we would've done without Brent. He walked us through the entire process and was there to answer every question we had. As first time home buyers he made the experience as easy as possible.

Conventional refinance 5th time client

 My wife and I recently refinanced  and didn't hesitate to reach out to Brent Mendelson to ask for details and work with us throughout the process. Brent was previously our loan officer when we first purchased our home in 2013. In both experiences, he was professional, very responsive, and explains the process to you in a way that is easy to understand (like complex legal lingo, or wisely choosing among 2-3 different financing scenarios).

Needless to say, his guidance made us completely comfortable in making these big financial decisions. Bottom line, he knows what he's doing and ALWAYS makes himself available to his clients. We highly recommend Brent!

Second time client, purchase and refinance

I had a great experience working with Brent Mendelson. He walked me through the refinancing process and made it easy to get to closing. He also was able to arrange for a mostly contactless closing to keep everyone socially distant and safe. I would highly recommend him to anyone going through the home buying or refinancing process!

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.

Brent Mendelson my loan officer, was incredibly knowledgeable and made it very easy and comfortable for me as a first time home buyer. He was immensely helpful in explaining things to me and was readily available to answer any questions I had throughout the process. I couldn’t have been happier with my experience.

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.

When it comes to refinancing or buying a home, Brent Mendelson, is the person you want to call.  He has helped me with both!  I spoke with several loan officers, with different banks, before a friend luckily referred me to Brent.  He is a true standout in his field. When working with Brent you can count on him being quick to respond, thorough, and will always have your best interest at heart.  Someone you can trust.  I highly recommend him to everyone!"

Fairfax County, VA Refinance Client

I had the pleasure of working with Brent during a refinance this Spring. During the early stages of the process, we encountered an issue on my credit report from when I changed residences two years ago. Brent immediately mapped out a course of action to get this fixed. After about a week, the issue was fixed and my credit was perfect again. Brent put his customer needs first and was diligent to ensure I got exactly what I wanted. Closing was routine and we encountered no issues. After our loan was sold, another issue came up with the new servicing company. Brent and his team from 1^st Mariner were once again on top of it and worked out the issue with the new servicer. I cannot say enough how pleased I was with him and the 1^st Mariner team. I will surely recommend him to my friends and family if they go are buying a new home or looking to refinance.

We were extremely happy with all of the work Brent did with us in the purchasing of our new home. He was very patient when we submitted numerous potential homes to him to run cost breakdowns, which was helpful in making our final home selection. His closing numbers were very precise and there were no surprises at settlement. He also provided advice on the price range and type of loan we should be comfortable with. We would highly recommend him and hope to work with him again on future home purchases!

Brent has unparalleled knowledge and insight into the financial industry. More importantly, Brent understands the nature of trends and cycles and keeps his clients informed. It's handy to have Brent around so you know when to make a jump, or weather a storm, before making a life-altering financial decision.” September 1, 2011
