It is a very, very stressful process and Mr. Gullace walks you right through with no issue- just merely providing guidance and wisdom the whole way through. I recommend this company and this lender to many, upon many buyers that I, personally, work with in real estate and they provide wonderful service time and time again. This is why, as a Veteran, I decided to place my personal home purchase with them as well. They went above and beyond to ensure we made it through with no worry.

Buying - Needmore, Pennsylvania October 2019
"Happy with service, information flow and rates. Disappointed that even on a mortgage with over 60% down that a home appraisal was required, apparently because the underwriting software provides no provision for waiver/consideration. The delay in identifying an appraiser and completing the appraisal delayed closing by a week."
Buying - Nicholson, Pennsylvania November 2019
"Jim was very helpful and always answered all my questions. He guided us every step of the way. Even though I had purchased two other homes previously I still learned more from Jim then my past experiences. He was very patient and understanding. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking to buy a house and if anyone I know will be buying a house I will certainly give them Jim's information."

"My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with Jim (James) Gullace since 2013. As a very young couple just starting out, this was an unnerving process to us not knowing what to expect. Jim guided us step by step on purchasing our first home and helped us understand the importance of obtaining a mortgage and the fine print behind it. Jim educated us every step of the way and answered all questions we approached him with to make sure every detail was clear. Now several years later, we have re-connected with Jim in discussion of a potential refinance. It turned out we were good candidates and in July, we completed yet another transaction with Jim and First Home Mortgage. This is a very important process in life and to have Jim not only help us through the process, but to be an educator and make sure we understand the logistics behind a mortgage is something that you don't often find in todays society. As we have done for the last several years, we will continue to refer Jim Gullace at First Home Mortgage to all of our family and friends. Jim, we appreciate you, your time, efforts and dedication to our family."
