Hirsch is among the most professional individuals I have had the pleasure of working with. As first-time homebuyers, Mr. Hirsch thoroughly explained the entire financial process to my wife and me, carefully reviewing every detail to ensure we fully understood all the elements involved in purchasing a home. His knowledge, patience, and attention to detail gave us complete confidence throughout the process. Mr. Hirsch was consistently available, always answering calls and responding to emails in less than five minutes. His level of responsiveness and dedication is truly outstanding. Strong Home Mortgage, LLC is, without question, one of the best mortgage companies in the state of Virginia. They are exceptionally veteran-friendly and demonstrate total commitment to their clients. If we purchase another home in the future, it will undoubtedly be with Strong Home Mortgage, LLC and Mr. Frederick T. Hirsch.

JUSTIN O'SHELL…read more I have never had someone so competent, responsive, responsible, helpful, and motivated help me with anything so stressful and complicated. I don't say this stuff about just anyone, but Justin has 100% earned my trust and thanks. I have been raving about him to anyone that will listen. He is quick to respond, knows everything there is to know (and finds answers for what he doesn't), makes YOU his priority, and does everything in his power to get you lower prices. An absolute work-horse and very kind and approachable at that. He puts in a ton of effort and puts up with all my 1000s of questions patiently. I do not think I would have bought my house without the help of Justin (closed 9/16!). He looked out for me and he will look out for you as well. Trust me.

When I called Potomac Trust cold for information on a refi, I didn't get a machine saying "punch 2…read moreif you want to talk to a broker, 3 if I'm wasting your time and 4 if you like impersonal recordings like this one that make you feel like a number." I got the owner himself, after just two rings, a guy, with more than 20 years experience, a human being. Heath Bourne listened to what I was looking for in a refi and within an hour sent me an email with three written estimates from different lenders, each with an interest rate significantly lower than what I'm paying now! I am a person who asks a lot of questions. This can test the patience of and even annoy some people (yes, I'm talking to you, mechanics and doctors!!). I was going to say my wife, but thought otherwise on social media. Anyway, I get it. Time is money. Tough customers take time. But Heath answered all of my questions with professional courtesy and patience through multiple phone calls, emails and requests for revised estimates that would drive most brokers nuts. No wonder my online research revealed Potomac Trust Mortgage has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau (https://www.bbb.org/us/va/alexandria/profile/mortgage-broker/potomac-trust-mortgage-llc-0241-142453140). This may sound a little corny, but the "trust" in Potomac Trust Mortgage was more than just a name more. It was the way they did business with me. You can trust them.

As first time home buyers, we were quite overwhelmed with the entire process, from start to finish…read more Our first task - post finding a realtor - was getting pre-approved. We met with Heath at PTM at the suggestion of our realtor. He was incredibly nice, incredibly helpful, and willing to answer any questions we had. We peppered him with questions via email before he had any idea whether we'd use them or not, and he answered every one of them thoroughly and promptly. When we had an offer accepted, one condition was that we close in three weeks. Within 24 hours of the offer being accepted, they had a lender for us, initial mortgage estimate documents, and a list of everything they needed. Heather walked us through everything, and was so responsive and prompt. We literally went from accepted offer to mortgage signed in about a week! (It also helps if you make sure you have all your documents ready to go from your end, and they will give you a list of what you need). Everything we did with PTM was electronic, so we weren't worried about running to the office to sign anything. They were accessible via email and phone, and even when we had what was probably a stupid question, they were happy to answer it. From the start, based on our research, we wanted to work with a broker rather than a bank directly, and if you are wanting to do the same, Potomac Trust Mortgage has got to be your go-to!

Mark was with us for all of our in-person viewings, inspections, and closing procedures. He was always willing to answer our questions, no matter how silly or stupid they sounded coming from first-time homebuyers. More importantly, his attention to detail, market connections, and negotiating skills helped us to acquire our house even when it required a phone call late Friday night before a vacation week. Mark is a great representative to have throughout the entire buying process and I am happy to recommend him for your homebuying experience.
