They have an efficient, seamless process and the departments all work together well so that your file is never stagnant. I closed in under 4 weeks which was awesome. The problem was that my loan officer Francki DiFrancesco repeatedly lied and mislead me about working on lowering my interest rate. She was careful to do this by phone so that there wasn't a paper trail and then by the time she admitted the rate wouldn't change, it was too late. I had to close or lose my $14,000 earnest money deposit and my condo. I wish I worked with anyone at Apex besides Francki.

The interest rate was questionable at first, but we felt more comfortable when my credit union offered a higher rate. Matt Lieberman was very helpful from beginning to end. He answered our questions very quickly. He was also just a phone call, email, or text away. Matt was also very flexible with our schedules since we also work in car sales. I'm also very surprised we didn't have any problems leading up to closing. They did it in less than 25 days! Everything is what we expected! We were also concerned with our commission-based income, but Matt and his team were able to work with us! He assured us 100% that everything should be okay and he was right. We also loved the engraved cutting board gift. We appreciate your team. Thank you Matt, Angie, and Debra!

Our loan officer Chuck Clapper was amazing throughout our homebuying process. As first-time…read morehomebuyers making an out-of-state move, it was immediately important to us that we choose a responsive and knowledgeable partner. Chuck did not disappoint. We ended up communicating almost on a daily basis and across media (text, phone, email, even video call). He patiently walked us through new concepts like the itemization of closing costs, the rate float-down program, and the differences between the Loan Estimate (LE) and Closing Disclosure (CD). We also appreciate his deep investment in the MoCo community including serving on the PTA board of a local elementary school. That level of integrity shone through in our interactions. In fact, he ended up being the most trustworthy and dependable member of our entire closing "team." We can't recommend him highly enough.

We were told that buyer was pre-qualified, and for the whole month before closing, Hopespire has been telling our agent that everything looks good and that they were only waiting for a couple of updated documents from the buyer. THREE DAYS BEFORE CLOSING, we were notified that the deal fell through because the buyer couldn't secure a loan! We were told that lender found out there was a mistake in buyer's credit report!? I simply can't understand how such thing could happen after a month of "everything looks good"?? We didn't even get to keep the honest deposit and now have to put our house back on the market and start allover again. Worst experience ever.

Was interested in refinancing so I did some research and also gave Brent Mendelson of Capital Bank…read morea call. Brent was responsive, explained the process, and made it super easy to get a great rate with low costs AND help us to quickly close on our refinance. The only disappointment - we weren't able to beat Brent's 9-day start-to-close record! The Capital Bank website and portal to support the loan process were also user friendly and quite good. If I have ever have home financing needs again I will be sure to look at Capital Bank again and/or call Brent Mendelson. Full disclosure - this is the second loan where I've worked with Brent (first was for first-time home buyer house purchase). If you cannot tell based on my repeat usage I would highly recommend that anyone interested in a home loan reach out to Brent. If you don't have a loan guy, Brent should be your guy!

I wish I could give this sham of a company zero stars…read more Unfortunately, I was a client of City Lending in pursuit of a mortgage for my first home purchase. We worked with Loan Officer Kennedy and his team for this loan. The service was pitiful and I am in shock that we were able to close on our home. We put the offer on this house May 15th and were accepted on May 20th. Kennedy and his team began working on our loan and based on email threads we received, it was clear that for a good chunk of time, between May and June, nothing had been completed on the papers. My fiancé and I were actively replying and quick to send any documents requested, typically with a 24-hour turnaround time. We were set to settle on June 24th before my fiancé and I had to leave town for a work trip. That gave the team about four and a half weeks to complete our loan. From the beginning, Kennedy knew that we were using the MD Smart Buy Program and promised that it would be cleared within days due to a contact he had at the state office. Weeks went by where we only heard from the underwriter and on June 17th, a HOLIDAY weekend, the underwriter urgently calls us at 3 PM asking us to submit a BRAND NEW 20-page document ASAP as it was needed for the state application. WHY this document wasn't sent to us WEEKS prior - I do not know. My fiancé and I were out of town with no access to the files and resources needed to fill this out. Sadly, it was a holiday weekend and Monday then became moot in terms of submission to state as nobody was working. Now, we are heading into a 4-day work week in which our state application has YET to be submitted and we are supposed to close Friday at 9AM. Kennedy and the underwriter go silent and say they've submitted it to the state, despite their claims the application was done"2.5 week prior". Once the state confirms receipt, the state asks for additional information that was missing from the initial submission. Again, this was information Kennedy and the underwriter failed to request from us in advance of submission. Now, it's Friday AM and we are not closing on time, we are asked to push until 3 PM. Kennedy writes again stating that we are not closing and the best he can do is Monday, but told the Title company Tuesday. He was not transparent at ALL throughout this process and every day that went by felt even more like we were being lied to. Eventually, Monday rolls around with no settlement and more lies/evading the truth. Tuesday rolls around, same story. At some point Tuesday, someone from City Lending called the LISTING agent and told them lies that we were refusing to come to settlement, escalating the entire situation even further. The sellers were depending on our purchase for them to go and purchase their new house. At end of day Tuesday, the state replied back to Kennedy and his team that there were 27 outstanding items on the submission they sent in. This was a variety of incorrect dates, mistakes on their part, and missing documents. End of day Tuesday the revised application was sent back to the state. Eventually, we get the email the state has reviewed and accepted the application and now it is back to City Lending for final review and to the title company. Wednesday AM rolls around and we are hopping on another flight having to reschedule our fourth notary appointment due to City Lending lack of urgency and competency. We land in our new state and now have an afternoon appointment with a notary. Our title company has yet to receive the paperwork for review before they can release it to the notary company for print then travel to our meeting location. After 5PM EST, the papers are in and by the grace of God and a very kind Title Company executive, we sign our paper's This chaotic story should convey how poorly handled this situation was. City Lending should be ashamed of their business practices. This is not how your treat clients who are eager, ready, and quick to provide documentation. I will NEVER use their services again and I will be sure to let any person buying a home know not to pursue this business. The fact we even had to pay the lending team sickened me to my core - the only thing we got out of this was a week of pure stress, a ruined business trip, and many burnt bridges. Do yourself a favor and do not use City Lending.

He was available at all hours (whether it was 9pm or during working hours) to answer questions and gracefully walk us through the loan documents. He with no hesitation reviewed all of the documents that we would go over at closing prior to our closing date so we would already have a handle on things on the day of. Also, this made our closing go more quickly which was absolutely necessary with our then 4-month old son in tow. He met with us in-person twice on Saturdays as that is what our work schedules allowed since we do not live or work near the Vienna/Tysons office location. We were able to secure a phenomenal interest rate through SWBC! Buying a home is one of the priciest decisions one will make, and I would highly recommend those who want a transparent process secure the services of Dave and his team!
