Jumbo Refinance. 3rd time client

Brent has helped our family with two mortgages and one refi. We couldn't and wouldn't do it with anyone else. Whenever we had questions, he answered them and was able to put us at ease. As anyone who has gone through the stress of purchasing a home understands, a steady hand is important. And that's what we got with Brent. He cares. He's responsive. He gets the job done.

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.

Though I'm sure my situation of using an out of state lender is not a unique one, I do feel that Brent made me feel special considering the amount of time and effort he spent working on my loan. Initially, I was under contract with a very difficult seller and a listing agent that had not done their due diligence. Long story short, I walked away from that situation and went under contract to my dream home days later. It required Brent and team to double step to get me through to close in about 20 days. Needless to say, he did it!

With Brent you get a full service professional. No matter how many houses you've bought or sold, I guarantee, you will walk away from a transaction with him understanding more about the process than you did when you started! A conversation with Brent goes like this "...this is what the term means..this is the question...these are your options...this is the impact of each option."  What more can you ask for?

Hi Brent,

 

We wanted to express our appreciation for your efforts and First Mariner in getting us the terms we wanted for our mortgage.  I'm still not sure why you stayed with us for the 3 months while the house repairs were done, but it certainly worked out well for us and hopefully for you. You provided excellent customer service.  

 

We wish you a very happy holiday season!

I just wanted to write a short note on the amazing experience I had buying my first house and using Brent Mendelson as my broker.  Luckily, I had a realtor as a friend that pointed me in Brent’s direction and had friends that could attest to his professionalism and manner who have used him before.  As I said, this is my first house and understood all the terminology as well as Chinese…not at all!  But Brent took the time to explain everything and never lost patience.  He not only explained my current situation and the pros and cons, but he also explained choices I can make down the road in regards to refinancing at a later date and choices I could make to get the house paid off faster if desired.   Even after closing, I am still getting emails from Brent wishing me the best and asking how things are going.  To anyone reading this, If you choose Brent as your broker, you will find that it was best decision you’ve made during your purchase.  I live in PA and my realtor was skeptical at first because Brent was out of state, but at closing,  my experienced realtor couldn’t say enough how pleased he was with working with Brent.  Anyway,  hope this helps anyone trying to make a decision or is on the fence.  Brent is top rate!

“Brent was fantastic to work with! Brent makes what can be a difficult and overwhelming process easy and painless. Any questions or concerns we had Brent was able to answer them efficiently and effectively. Brent also went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care and that our loan would close timely. We highly recommend working with Brent if you are looking to purchase or refinance your home!”

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.
