We've tried other mortgage companies or lenders and Steve Fitzpatrick is by far the easiest and most enjoyable professional to work with. From the first time we worked with him on a loan back in 2019, he made the process so smooth we didn't realize that the process was over - in other words, we thought it was going to be MUCH more of a headache and stressful than it was. Steve took care of everything start to finish so we didn't have to stress. We are so grateful for all his help and walking us through that first mortgage experience. Now we are working with him AGAIN on a new home and once again, we are so impressed!!! Highly recommend Steve and BEST Mortgage to anyone who wants to take the headache out of getting a mortgage, experience a streamlined process start to finish AND get the best advice in the industry! He always had solutions ready when we needed it most. Go to Steve!!!

Definitely give him a call and I am sure you won't be disappointed. For those of you that like reading long and more detailed reviews: I am one of those people that feel the need to highly research every single thing and understand the behind the scenes workings of it prior to making any decisions. When selecting a mortgage lender, I stayed true to myself and vetted lots very throughly. Steve is timely in his responses, really knowledgeable, upfront, honest, very personable and easy to work with. Steve is a proactive communicator and takes the stress out of the loan part of buying a house. He's always willing to jump on the phone or respond to a text. I would 100% recommend him and will be using him in any future real estate transactions I have.

Not only did Chris and his team help me to qualify for a better loan; the team assisted me in making sure I understood all documents necessary for loan approval. Chris was accessible every step of the way. His team immediately fulfilled all tasks necessary for loan approval; they worked as if they realized the eagerness I felt about my new beginning. The team hurriedly prepared a competitive loan package, and as a result of their hard work, I was able to bid on what I hope will be my forever home. Chris and his team, upon hearing that my bid was accepted, then proceeded to help expedite the closing paperwork. I would say to anyone who will listen: please consult Chris for your mortgage needs. I was not disappointed.

Yet, you keep Seth? Arrogant and cocky does not know banking and tells customers the wrong information and I even have it written down what he said! Seth ... shame on you! To daringly hold my 401k rollover check in your fingers daring to ask me if I still want it to be deposited! You should not give anyone financial advice as you are not competent whatsoever and to call out and the branch has no one else to assist? What? A poor excuse to call out and you do not look professional to handle large accounts and you are not investment savvy and to speak to me as to put me on a budget or allowance.....you are clueless! Mind your own manners and stop being disrespectful to account holders. As an account holder, you have lost my investment accounts and I will close the remainder of them based on the interactions this year. Next person that needs a personality makeover for customer service is Michelle. She is useless and my time is valuable, yet she spoke to me with blatant disregard and no respect. Fortunately NFCU 800# is helpful and aware of serious account services mismanagement at this local branch. I avoid whenever possible. I still have another bank so I can still manage liquidity. There are a very slim handful of helpful tellers. I do agree that staffing and coverage should be better. Whoever determines NFCU interest rates are terrible as I had to transfer investments to other banks offering greater than 5% interest when they change rates at the drop of a hat! The government has kept rates consistent only recently dropping .25%....I cannot wait to have my account make money with another firm!!!

Patrick is an…read moreexpert in all things real estate and lending--he walked me through every option available, from renovation and construction loans to standard mortgages, while also sharing insights on market rate trends, insurance providers, and smart loan strategies. He was always available for a call, even at odd hours and on weekends, and held my hand through every step of the process, which made things so much easier as a first time homebuyer. What stood out the most was his honesty and integrity. Even though he had the best rates and offers on the table, at the very last moment I received a discounted offer through my employer which was too good to beat. Patrick reviewed every competing option with me and genuinely advised that the employee discount was the better fit for my situation--even though it meant he wouldn't get my business. That level of customer care is rare, and it speaks volumes about his character. Patrick was always available for a phone call, saved me a huge amount of time and money with his guidance, and went above and beyond to make sure I felt confident in my decision. If you want someone who puts your best interest first, I can't recommend Patrick and Exhale Lending enough. He's the real deal.

We had a lot of moving parts and tons of weird paperwork, but she somehow kept us calm and happy the whole time. As first-time home buyers, the idea of a mortgage application initially seemed daunting and overwhelming, but Jenny reassured us that we could get it done (in under 30 days, no less!), and kept us calm and stress-free the whole time!
