He and his team are extremely well organized, detail-oriented, and helpful. They always ensure we know what we are agreeing to before we do, and never make us feel rushed. I should mention that they never miss a text or call either! I would definitely recommend Dave and his team, and I will certainly be using them again for any future purchases.

Dave Pennington is an amazing mortgage officer. Our realtor contacted him on short notice to help…read moreus close on a house 13 days after our initial contact, and he nailed it. The backstory is that we originally were working with a different mortgage officer for a different company, but she warned that we weren't going to be able to make the closing date. That freaked us out, and our realtor recommended we switch to Dave. I'm so glad she did, because Dave really stepped in and got things done, as soon as possible. It's like he had a fire lit under his butt and needed to move move move. We really appreciated that. He pushed us to get things turned around quickly, and he pushed everyone else involved in our transaction (especially the escrow company, which was having issues). On his own initiative he contacted the relevant parties (e.g., the escrow company, our financial advisor, our insurance agent) when things were unclear or when they needed to be pushed. And we were able to make our closing date with days to spare, with a solid mortgage at a very competitive interest rate. Dave took the time to explain the complexities and walk us through things, while also pushing things along and sending us reminders when we were forgetful. One thing I especially appreciated is that he acted as our advocate and gave us advice, rather than being tight-lipped and trying to cover his own butt. In other words, he acted as if he wanted us to get a loan and get the house, and his job was to help us make that happen, rather than trying to protect the bank from all possible risks and just make money for the bank. I recommend Dave most highly.

Warning about Mortgage One…read more I want to share my recent experience so others don't go through the same thing. In July 2025, I started working with Mortgage One through loan officer Mark Butrus. On July 31, I gave my credit card information to his processor to pay for an appraisal. The appraisal was completed, and Mortgage One even told me they would cover the cost of the follow-up visit. A short time later, I decided to switch to Turbo Mortgage because their rates and fees were much better. After that, things took a very troubling turn. On August 18, I received a fraud alert from my credit card company: a $496.55 charge attempt to the City of Warren (Michigan electric company). I live in Georgia and have no ties to Warren, MI. The only people who had my card information were at Mortgage One. When I questioned Mark about this, he denied any involvement, but the timing and location are extremely suspicious. Using a customer's credit card information for unauthorized charges is fraud. I am considering filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau, CFPB, and law enforcement. I'm posting this to warn others: be very careful who you trust with your personal and financial information. My experience with Mortgage One has been extremely disappointing and concerning.

As a first time home buyer I was apprehensive about the whole process and totally clueless where to…read moreeven start. We just closed on our first house last week, and I feel SO FORTUNATE to have found Maureen!! She is a mastermind of the mortgage lending process! I don't think I've ever met someone who is so hardworking with such high standards. Even better, Maureen upholds the same high standards for every one else involved in the lending process (escrow company, lenders, realtors, etc.) and she is constantly 2 steps ahead and prepared for anything, with a back up plan "just in case" to ensure everything goes through seamlessly. As a first time homebuyer initially unfamiliar with the process, I now know I threw a couple curve balls and Maureen didn't even bat an eye. As if all that wasn't enough, I also had no idea where to start when looking for a good realtor. Maureen suggested a few she has worked with in the past that she thought were really good, and she did not disappoint. I ended up choosing Melissa Tucci as my realtor, who was just as amazing as Maureen, and the two of them working together turned into an unstoppable powerhouse that could move mountains and get a deal done! If you're looking for a mortgage broker who will take care of you like family and go above and beyond, look no further. You will not be disappointed!

A Dream Realized in 18 Days - Thanks to Maureen Martin…read more Words can't fully express the gratitude I have for Maureen Martin of Homeplus Mortgage. From the moment we began our home-buying journey, Maureen showed herself to be an absolute powerhouse--a strong, focused businesswoman who brings unmatched professionalism, compassion, and commitment to everything she does. Maureen isn't just about numbers and paperwork--she's client-centric to her core. Her dedication, responsiveness, and fierce determination made us feel supported every step of the way. When I finally met her in person, I immediately felt her radiant energy and warmth. Her aura and spirit are something truly rare--she's one of the most special, genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Thanks to her tireless efforts, we went from placing an offer to holding the keys to our new home in just 18 days. That kind of turnaround is almost unheard of, but Maureen made it happen. We are forever indebted to her for not just helping us close on a house, but for helping us secure our dream. If you're looking for a lender who is not only masterful at what she does but also deeply human in how she does it, look no further. Maureen Martin is a godsend.

They were always available to answer questions, kept me informed every step of the way and made sure I knew what to expect throughout the process. Their advice on pricing and negotiations was spot on, and everything moved smoothly from getting my house ready to list all the way through closing. I also want to give a shoutout to their TC, Alexa. She kept everything organized behind the scenes, was always responsive and helpful, and made sure nothing slipped through the cracks. I have no doubt that her attention to detail played a big part in helping us close on time. Thank you to Lori, Alexa and Jesse in making this process feel smooth and manageable! If you're looking for a knowledgeable, responsive team to help sell your home, this is your team!

If you are thinking of buying a home or doing any kind of business that requires attention to…read moredetail and correct documentation, do NOT use this company. They are extremely disorganized and terribly incompetent. When it comes to explaining information they give you a beat around the bush answer, if you even get an answer. For instance I noticed that I had a discrepancy in my final disclosure document, I asked how that happened (the amount I should've been charged was $80, the amount I was charged was $650). When I asked Blake Crossman ("loan officer") to explain to me why there was a discrepancy he told me they'll fix it later... notice how I asked why and not if it will be fixed later. I explained my frustrations up until that point because every time I had a question about the process or status of any documents it was an absolute pull of teeth. Blake's response to me was "I don't know why you're so stressed". I let him know this was very unprofessional. They are solely for profit with no regard for the customer, their timelines as far as moving or settling any issues. When I asked to speak with a manager, he gave me his peer Edith. Edith seemed to try and help but she was also very confused and elderly. We were supposed to close at the end of the month and it was delayed 5 days due to DG changing the date on my home insurance to a day later than anticipated with absolutely no communication. I incurred a $1200 mover rescheduling fee of which DG did not care so luckily the realtors split it for me from their commission out of the goodness of their hearts. I incurred additionally rental fees due to living in the home extra time than agreed upon with my previous landlord. Understandably, I was absolutely furious. I sent an email outlining my concerns to both Edith and Blake. No response to my request for a supervisor. It wasn't until DG needed me for something that they had a 3rd random other employee who was not involved during the escrow process send me a brand new email not on the chain. And eventually sent me a supervisor point of contact. NEVERRRR use DG. Blake Crossman, you are never entitled to tell someone how they should feel. Ms. Edith you were ok but you enable Blake and his shortcomings. Overall the entire company needs better customer service training and attention to detail, especially given the nature of business they are in. The business they do affects people's livelihoods and assets. Once again STEER CLEAR. And in the event you run into Blake Crossman on a solo mission outside of DG, BEWARE.

He's very professional and knowledgeable, and he took the time to answer all of our questions (even when we had questions after hours). After our dream condo went on the market on a Friday, we had a whirlwind experience of pre-approval/making an offer by Sunday. His efficiency and flexibility regarding working with us after hours is very likely the reason we were able to get our offer accepted on our first home. While being first-time homebuyers was a bit nerve-wracking, I felt absolutely confident that we had the best team in our corner. I highly recommend working with Mark and his America One Mortgage Group team for your purchase or re-fi! I know we will be going back when it is time for a re-fi.

Carl went out of his way to meet with one of my clients two times in Orange County to help collect her documents as she was not really familiar with doing things on the computer. Carl was also instrumental in helping me get offers accepted by talking to the listing agent and assuring them we could get the loan done in a timely fashion.
