Jumbo cash out, self employed with multiple homes.


Brent was my loan officer for my home refi.  He was very patient with us through the entire process and helped us get to the end with no major snags. I would highly recommend him for anyone considering a loan!

FHLB/MPDU Condo purchase Bethesda, MD

After working with Brent Mendelson at 1st Mariner Bank to purchase my first home all I can say he was awesome. I was referred by a local realtor. Due to the fact I was looking at a new home, the realtor could not be involved in the transaction. Which meant Brent was going to do a lot more work. He was honest with the figures from the beginning with me. I had discussed what I could afford and where my budget was. The process can be very scary for someone like me, first time homebuyer to understand. He was always communicating with me and throughout the process. He was also able to find me a program that gave me a grant for $5000.00. This was huge for me. Yes I know that I have to live at my current house for 5 years or for each year that I don’t I have to repay $1000.00, still huge. No one these days gives out $5000.00. I took a counseling session over the phone which was great for my understanding on how manage my finances. His numbers that he had shown me were pretty close to the numbers showing at closing, which was great. I would recommend Brent to anyone who is being a home for the first time or any other buyers. He is honest and reliable which are traits that are very important when buying a home. Once again thank you for making my dream of owning my home a reality.

Washington County Maryland purchase.


Brent and his team were awesome to work with in the search for our new home.  He was patient with our loan and home buying questions.  When we did have a question is he was quick to get back to us and provide us with thorough answers without a lot of technical jargon.  He even added the personal touch of showing up to our closing, which we really appreciated.  We've already recommended Brent to some of our friends who are interested in loan options for buying a new home.  Trust that you will be in good hands if you work with Brent!

DSELP/ CDA refinance in Baltimore

Brent was quick to respond to our initial inquiry about the refinancing process, and was always eager to help when we had questions. We especially needed someone who knew how to navigate the details of our loan through the State of Maryland and Brent was very knowledgeable on the subject. He was with us through the entire process right down to closing. Great service all around!"

Silver Spring Refinance 2nd time clients

Thanks to Brent and 1st Mariner, we were able to refinance our mortgage smoothly and stress-free. Brent guided us every step of the way, and helped us navigate through the process. Most importantly, he was able to help us secure a loan when we didn't think we would qualify.  Thank you!

1ST time buyer Poolesville, MD

As a first-time homebuyer, I initially felt very anxious and overwhelmed by the entire process—until I spoke with Brent! He walked me through the entire process and let me know what to expect along the way. He answered all of my questions and was always willing to answer more. I could not have been more pleased with his professionalism and expertise. I sincerely appreciate him always him! Being willing to go the extra mile and provide me with the answers and reassurance that I needed. I would recommend Brent to anyone looking to buy a home—I couldn’t imagine going through this process again without him!

1st time home buyer in Germantown, MD


Brent was professional and precise.  He was always available for questions - even when he wasn't and out of the office.  The closing went over smoothly and there were no unforeseen bumps in the road.
