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.

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.

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,
