      I was referred to Arlene Dean / First Home Mortgage by my realtor. I reached out to Arlene and was impressed after our first interaction. Purchasing a home requires timely and effective communications with multiple folks, primarily in the individual purchaser / the realtor / and the mortgage agent.

      Arlene and her team are truly second to none and I don’t say that casually! From the first phone call to closing, I was kept in the know of the status of the approval process, advised on best ways to structure the mortgage, and informed of next steps to take – and she always kept my best interests in mind. Arlene and her team work for you and do an outstanding job throughout the entire process. One thing every buyer wants is CONFIDENCE going into closing is to know that all the details have been double checked and addressed. I had complete trust that days prior to closing everything was taken care of – because of her professionalism closing was a mere formality.

      In closing, Arlene and her team have earned an A + rating from me, and I would recommend her to my friends and family with ZERO hesitation. Assuredly, Arlene and her team will be my go to if I need mortgage services in the future.

      Arlene was absolutely wonderful to work with. This is my 4th home purchase, and this was by far the easiest and most pleasant loan experience. She was professional, and oh, so quick! We were able to close 25 days earlier than expected almost exclusively because Arlene and her team were so diligent, and got everything done quickly. She was on top of things from the very start, and I was amazed at how efficient and painless the entire process was. I will send everyone I know to Arlene in the future. Great company, great person!

      Rogers Family Leonardtown, MD

      This is the second time I have gone through Arlene. First was to buy a house, and second was to refinance it. Arlene is truly the only person that I’ve experienced that I would even consider doing this type of work for me. In fact, I was not going to refinance until she reached out and made me contemplate it. After I reached back out for some questions and got them answered, it was solidified. From there it was smooth sailing. I even had some more in-depth questions afterward for follow-on, that Arlene didn’t need to concern herself with, but she went out and helped me with that too. As before, I appreciate her and recommend her to anyone.
