I had a good experience with my loan officer at first state, but the experience with first state…read moreitself was quite bad. During the application process, I paid for an appraisal and then learned that first state's interest rates are higher than Point mortgage's (another lender's) rates, so I withdrew my application and applied with Point. Then first state refused to transfer the appraisal to Point so I need to pay another appraisal fee to Point. All Point wanted was verification from first state that the appraisal was ordered in an unbiased way, but first state refused. The compliance officer at first state did not seem interested in my request for such a letter, and later told me he was doing somebody a favor by sending the appraisal, but he would not send the letter which Point needed, which was no favor to me.

This being our first purchase we had no idea what to expect, having met with Mike before we even made an offer we were educated as to what to expect in the process and what Mike and his team offered us. We felt far more confident from that initial meeting and knew we had the right team behind us. Throughout the process Mike kept us up to date regarding interest rate movements and helped us secure a very good rate. He answered our very specific questions, was incredibly timely in his responses back to us, and calmed any nerves we may have had. I highly recommend working with Mike, if you are looking to learn about the mortgage process give Mike a call, you will not be disappointed.
