I have now used Apex Home Loans three times for mortgage services (two home loans and one refi) and…read moreeach experience we've had has been enjoyable and stress-free. They do a great job of coordinating the small details with our agent, title company, etc. and made sure we received ongoing updates throughout the entire process. Any time we had a question, the Craig's team was more than happy to spend whatever time was necessary to address our needs. I've already recommended Apex to family and friends and would continue using their services in the future.

Searching for a lender to buy your first home is intimidating. Let me make it easy for you…read more Choose Apex. I spent many hours researching the various options, and my husband and I took a chance on Apex because of its local experience and its promise of great customer service. We couldn't be happier with our decision. Choosing a lender is not only about the lowest rates, though Apex is in line with the market, you also need to trust that they can shepherd you and the loan through the complex path to closing. Apex can and make it feel easy. Apex took care of us from the day I requested a quote through their website. Jon Ingram contacted us within hours and scheduled a phone call later that afternoon to discuss our options and the process with Craig Strent, the CEO. Craig was informative and patient with our questions. We never felt like we were imposing on his time. Jon did a great job taking care of everything through our entering a ratified contract for a property, and Amy Smith took point through the closing. They both were amazingly responsive throughout the process. Nothing makes a first-time home buyer feel more at ease than being able to get an immediate response on anything that arises. The entire process was smooth, and I am happily typing this from our new home.

Tashea McDade is absolutely, without question, a phenomenal real estate agent; and I could not…read morepossibly be more pleased with her work, high ethical standards, dedication, and knowledge of real estate procedures and market trends. I happened to find Tashea from an Internet search because I am fairly new to the Woodbridge, VA, area. From one look at her photo, I could tell Tashea is warm, helpful, comforting, sharp, smart and friendly. I was right. From the first time I spoke with her via telephone, being in search of our first home to purchase, Tashea immediately put me at ease. She said to me, "no worries, I'll take care of you," and with her as an agent, it really was that easy. Tashea far exceeded my hopes and expectations as being a highly skilled, professional, experienced, patient, kind, considerate, tenacious, detailed and thorough real estate agent. She is also infectiously upbeat, positive and encouraging. I am very meticulous and finicky, so my glowing review of Tashea is not something I share without very high standards for her to have met. She went way above and beyond what was actually necessary to seal our deal, and she never once made me feel like I was bothersome or annoying (and I can be both at times). I knew nothing about the home buying process but she patiently walked me through every step with expertise, precision and knowledge. Tashea is also very wise, organized, honest, trustworthy, giving, caring and thoughtful. Tashea often updated the search criteria of the automatic daily e-mails she had sent out to us on new listings to view, without our needing to ask. And she stopped them once we went under contract. These are just some examples of the minute attention to detail she has. Although I know she is very busy, she always made me feel like I was her only client, even taking my calls during what I am certain were not the most opportune times. If she could not answer my phone call, for example, she would immediately text me to let me know she would call me back as soon as she finished her current call. Tashea never rushed me off the phone or made me feel like I was disturbing her, when we did talk. She was always accessible, be it via e-mail, phone or text. Tashea joyfully showed my husband and me houses in Woodbridge and surrounding areas. I could tell she was genuinely excited for us. She was even willing to sacrifice personal plans to ensure she was there every step of the way to negotiate for and protect us. She is no push over in dealing with sellers' agents either. Tashea is creative, thinks outside the box, and was not afraid to talk sense into me when I went off the rails. I like that she is super sweet but respectfully tough, even to me, when necessary. I can tell Tashea really loves what she does and it's not about commission. I know from dealing with her that, to her, it's much more about taking care of her clients. We ended up having a long, drawn out process over many months. However, Tashea never rushed us to make a decision but she did stay on me about signing paperwork in a timely fashion, and no detail escaped her. When Tashea says she is going to do something, she indeed does it. I never had to remind her of anything, she was the one who reminded me. Tashea is a very skilled and thorough communicator. She did not just hold my hand through the process, in some instances I feel like she carried me. Tashea took her time with me, answering and explaining every little detailed question I had about the contracts, contingencies and agreements. She made everything as easy as possible, and I had a lot fun working with her. Tashea even directed me to the right sources for things outside of her scope of duties like mortgage, title, home warranty and homeowners insurance questions. I honestly do not have the proper words to express how awesome and truly amazing this lady really is. She is nothing short of a great blessing to us. I felt safe with Tashea, which is saying a lot. She did not let anyone take advantage of us. And, aside from everything else, Tashea has a very sweet personality, a calming voice and a smile that lights up any room. She is an absolute joy to know. I sincerely mean every word of this review, and I highly recommend her to everyone. And when our son is ready to purchase his first home, we will definitely be calling her to take care of him! I could go on and on about Tashea McDade, which is a rarity because I have not felt inclined to write many reviews for other professionals or businesses. I just don't know how I can possibly thank her for everything she has done. We are extremely happy with the deal she negotiated for us, and I have no regrets in our purchase because of TASHEA MCDADE. She started out as our agent but now, and forever, I call her "Friend." Call Tashea, whether it be for her to help you buy, sell or rent. I believe, like me, you will be very happy you did!

We rented an apartment from landlords that were represented by Ms. Jan Brito. We dealt with her…read morepersonal assistant Lisa Clark. We looked at the apartment and identified some things that were wrong with it that needed fixing before we moved in. We were assured that the landlords would take care of it. In Ms. Clarks words, the landlords were "wonderful, very responsive." Basically, we were sold a bill of goods. We moved in about a month after lease signing. None of the things that were supposed to be fixed were actually fixed, because apparently the landlord refused. The apartment was still being worked on, and it was in pretty dirty condition. We had to clean it ourselves before we moved in. Far from being "wonderful and responsive" the landlords were the most awful, do-nothing landlords I have ever rented from. Many of the things that were supposed to be fixed were still not fixed when we moved out a year later. Folks, don't believe a word anyone from this company tells you, especially if you are a renter. They seem extremely nice, but they will clearly say anything to get the deal closed. Wish I could give negative or 0 stars.
