"Look no further, First Home Mortgage is the best! My wife and I worked with Kate at First Home Mortgage on our first home purchase, and we were very happy with the loan and customer service. Kate was the only loan officer who took the time to walk me through a mortgage from front to back, answer any question I had (no matter how much I might be splitting hairs) and was super-responsive to our every need even after we decided to go with their loan and the house was purchased. Having applied for and shopped around for 5+ mortgages for the purchase, I can honestly say that no one else even came close to the level of service we experienced. Kate was also the only loan officer who, after sending in our loan application, approached us to have a conversation about our loan strategy - helping us decide whether it was best to minimize closing costs or instead seek the lowest interest rate. (Every other lender was too busy dogging us to warn that interest rates were on the rise, trying to scare us into picking their loan offer.) As a first-time home buyer, having peace of mind and confidence isn't easy to come by, but Kate's phenomenal approach took our worries around the mortgage off our minds!"

"Kate presents a dilemma. She's so good, she should be the boss. But if you promote her you will never be able to replace her as a loan officer '€” she's that good.

"Kate and First Home Mortgage were amazing in walking me through the process in buying my first home. They explained every small detail so it was easy to understand. They didn’t mind me texting and emailing them questions and made sure I met every requirement on time. Kate also went way above the call of duty to make sure she got every discount and grant available to me! Best phone call ever when she surprised me with an extra grant I didn’t know I qualified for. 15/10 recommend. They really want to help and get you all the assistance possible. "
