VA IRRL Investment property

My experience with Brent and 1st Mariner Bank was amazing!!  He was professional, courteous and understanding of my unique situation as a military member with an out of state property.  Brent was very attentive and available to answer any of my questions.  Additionally, he was very knowledgeable about the refinancing process with a VA backed loan and did his best to get me the best rate and payment I needed to meet my financial goals.  I highly recommend him and his services to military members who are looking for someone who can help them navigate the refinance process to protect their assets."  ~ Angela T.

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.

FHA Flip Purchase smooth as silk.

"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."

" I've just completed my 3rd loan with Brent in 7 years. After 2 satisfactory loans, it was a no-brainer to go with Brent again. His professionalism and responsiveness gave me full confidence that he will always get the job done, with my best interest at heart."

"Brent was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He went above and beyond his duties as a loan officer and made the experience of refinancing as stress free as possible. Brent spent over an hour of his time on the consultation phone call alone. I highly recommended Brent Mendolson and will use him again. "   Thanks again for everything. We would love to use you in the future keep us up to date if you go somewhere else as we only have your work email I think .
