"Alex and his team are phenomenal. They made the process very easy and I love that his approach is very educational. He really tries to make sure you understand what is happening. "
Buying - Suitland, Maryland January 2018
"My family and I moved back to the US from working abroad for a significant time period and were in contact with Alex for about 6 months before we arrived. He provided great, timely, and clear information and no question was too basic for him. He was very committed to helping us understand a highly nuanced process and gave great strategic advice on how to approach a mortgage. We hit a financial snag delaying our home search but when we were ready to get started again Alex was as supportive as he had always been guiding through the pre-approval process. When it was time to put down an offer Alex and his team were amazingly responsive and I believe their efforts contributed to us winning a bidding war on a property we fell in love with. I especially appreciate his willingness to run different financial models and to provide online resources to better explain the complicated aspects. Alex and his team were wonderful and we have already been strongly recommending them to friends."

"I had the pleasure of being introduced to Alex by my agent. Of the several loan officers I worked while pursuing preapproval, Alex was the most responsive, timely, organized, and thorough. I was a first-time homebuyer, and I wanted a loan officer who was patient enough to walk me through the process.

"Alex is very responsive, knowledgable, and courteous. It was a very professional experience."
Buying - Wheaton, Maryland December 2018
"Very personable and communicative. My one issue was the misinformation I received from Alex regarding final payment. The title company told me they required final payment by wire and Alex had told me final payment could be done by cashier's check. This created headaches immediately before, during, and after closing. Aside from this, Alex and his team was considerate, walked me through the process, and gave me ample time and instruction on completing tasks. I would recommend Alex and his team to others but would counsel the team to communicate better with the Title company to help closing be less stressful."

I am glad I stayed with the process and extremely happy that I remained with Alex and his amazing team. I am the first of my immediate family to have purchased a home. For our family, it is an historical activity that I hope lasts for generations to come and I could not have done it this way with Alex and his team as well as my amazing realtor Trish.

"From our first meeting, Alex was honest, thorough, and patient in answering all of our questions as first-time home buyers. My wife and I left that meeting feeling very informed about the process. As we began searching for homes and put down our first offer, Alex made himself available morning, noon, and night to answer any questions that arose. He was also proactive; for instance, when our interest rate went up 0.25%, he informed us right away. We knew he had our backs. If not for him, we might not have closed on our home so quickly. I hope everyone looking for a house has as smooth a process as we did, and we owe much of the thanks for that to Alex."

Buying - Washington, District of Columbia December 2019
"We chose Alex and First Home after friends used them to purchase their home. After using First Home Mortgage to close on our house in March, we recently re-financed with them. Alex reached out to me at after I had just decided that we should refinance, which I appreciated. He had an excellent cost calculations for different possible scenarios and walked me through the process. The rates offered were not the best I had seen advertised, but they were competitive and we were willing to potentially make that sacrifice in order to lock in at the time and proceed quickly with someone we trusted. Re-financing was honestly easier than I thought it would be (compared to buying a house). Although there was some confusion over who we should make our first payment to after re-financing, that was quickly cleared up. Alex and First Home are responsive and willing to work for, and to keep, your business. But on the other hand, a slight difference in rates can mean a massive amount of money when homes are priced the way they are here."

The answer from Mr. Jaffe was "Yes, we can make this happen and yes, we will make sure the mortgage fits nicely into your financial budget." Mr. Jaffe guided me through each step of the morgage application and made the process; for me, effortless and streamline; all the way to settlement. Seven years later I contacted Mr. Jaffe with regards to refinancing my home. He quickly responded; offering support, suggestions and guideance on how to refinace my home. Again, Mr. Jaffee provided excellent service from begining to end. With the process only taking a few weeks. At closing the Settlement Agent said to me.
