Amazing to work with, they get stuff done! We have worked with First Ohio Home Finance several times before but this was a bit different. We were buying directly from a seller in another state and she wanted to close in less than a month. First Ohio made miracles happen! We closed in just 3 weeks and they communicated with us every step of the way. We would highly recommend First Ohio to anyone. And I'm sure we will use them again. read more

Buying a home can be a frustrating experience but that was not the case with First Ohio Home Finance Company. From our first interaction to the actual closing my husband and I were well informed of the process and timeline. The items that we needed to provide were clearly stated and everything was backed up in writing. While we experienced a few bumps along the way, because of the communication we had with First Ohio Home and our loan officer we never experienced the frustration we have before with different companies. We would highly recommend First Ohio Home Finance to anyone looking for a home loan. They took away the biggest stressor for me in the home buying process! read more

We just bought a home in the area and worked directly with John. Purchasing a home is stressful on it's own. Thank goodness First Ohio Home Finance is on top of their game. I thought the financing process would be the most stressful part of the home buying experience and it was actually the least stressful. John walked us through what we needed to provide, answered all of our questions immediately (if not proactively), and kept us informed on what was happening. Pre-approval was a breeze. He and our real estate agent had a seamless relationship as well, keeping us informed on every step of the process. I didn't have to call once to get a status update. All docs were available to e-sign and accompanied with an explanation. Very smooth. We kept wondering if there was a catch, but they are just that good! We just got the keys to our new home yesterday! read more

David Becker, hands down, dude is good. He is a wealth of info when it comes to stupid questions about buying and selling. We like to throw him curve balls and ask him off the wall questions to make him squirm. But he's good, he catches them every time and gives it to you straight and fast. If you ever have to go thru closing, this guy will make it painless and dare I say, fun? Maybe, no promises though. read more

We have used First Ohio Home Finance since 1998 for all our home purchases and refinances, and we just refinanced again earlier this month to take advantage of the low rates. The entire staff conduct themselves with the utmost integrity, and always have the client's needs in mind when presenting finance options. We were kept informed every step of the way, were given detailed instructions on what information we needed to provide, and we always made a final decision knowing First Ohio Home Finance had our best interests in mind. This most recent re-fi was fast and painless, from start to finish it was done in less than two weeks! I would not hesitate to use them again, and would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, easy path to purchasing or refinancing a home. read more

Don't look any further - First Ohio Home Finance is an amazing company! We just closed on our home 3 weeks ago and our experience with them was above and beyond what we expected...... We were in the process of looking at existing homes and even considering building a custom home. We were already pre-approved with a local lender, but just weren't happy with the options he was recommending to us. I went out to lending tree and submitted a request for proposals. Initially, our phone/emails were flooded with messages from probably 15 different lenders. However, First Ohio's response to me was very different and seemed so genuine. Calling them was the best decision we made throughout this process. Kemp Taylor was our mortgage banker and we were so impressed with his knowledge and responsiveness right from the start. Kemp gave us a variety of options that our prior lender never bothered to explore. He was so knowledgeable and professional throughout the entire process. He made us feel like we were his #1 priority, always responded to calls and emails promptly, and even worked on our loan after hours (and made himself available to us after hours). I'm sure the new regulations make this process even more painstaking, but we would have never known it. Kemp was so calm and made everything so simple. We never had to worry or wonder where we were in the process. Even at our closing, my realtor commented on how great Kemp was. Hands down, this was the BEST home buying experience for us (this is our 3rd home). I will not hesitate to call Kemp in the future and have recommended him to friends and family. Don't waste your time with another company!! read more

First Ohio Home Finance is easily the best home buying experience I have ever had. Shelley Young was incredible. She was able to work quickly and closely, guiding me through every process, always going above and beyond while keeping my interests as a priority. It was clear she and her staff were not looking at my mortgage and family as a number. We had a fast closing deadline that at first seemed impossible. Encouragement, professionalism, and courtesy on her end allowed a smooth process for all parties. I would highly recommend First Ohio Home Finance to any family who is considering buying a home and trust Shelley Young with any debt or mortgage related questions. read more
