      Kate and First Home Mortgage were amazing in walking me through the process in buying my first home. They explained every small detail so it was easy to understand. They didn’t mind me texting and emailing them questions and made sure I met every requirement on time. Kate also went way above the call of duty to make sure she got every discount and grant available to me! Best phone call ever when she surprised me with an extra grant I didn’t know I qualified for. 15/10 recommend. They really want to help and get you all the assistance possible.

      Kathleen Elkridge, MD

      Kate was absolutely wonderful! Kate made our first time home buying experience easy. She was supportive, explained everything with great detail and was there for us through the process. Her knowledge and guidance was above the rest and we loved working with her.

      Nina Columbia, MD

      Kate was the absolute best! She fought hard and made sure that we had all of the knowledge, resources, and tools to purchase our dream home. I have already recommend her to many of our friends and family.

      Rhona Randallstown, MD

      Went out of her way even when her neighbors house was on fire and she had to evacuate her house so we could get our offer in and we got the deal done! Thanks Kate!

      Chris Ellicott City, MD

      Kate was so great to work with! She made me feel comfortable and confident from start to finish in my first time home buying experience. Thank you so much, Kate!

      Cindy Dundalk, MD

      Look no further, First Home Mortgage is the best! My wife and I worked with Kate at First Home Mortgage on our first home purchase, and we were very happy with the loan and customer service. Kate was the only loan officer who took the time to walk me through a mortgage from front to back, answer any question I had (no matter how much I might be splitting hairs) and was super-responsive to our every need even after we decided to go with their loan and the house was purchased. Having applied for and shopped around for 5+ mortgages for the purchase, I can honestly say that no one else even came close to the level of service we experienced. Kate was also the only loan officer who, after sending in our loan application, approached us to have a conversation about our loan strategy – helping us decide whether it was best to minimize closing costs or instead seek the lowest interest rate. (Every other lender was too busy dogging us to warn that interest rates were on the rise, trying to scare us into picking their loan offer.) As a first-time home buyer, having peace of mind and confidence isn’t easy to come by, but Kate’s phenomenal approach took our worries around the mortgage off our minds!

      Ryan Crownsville, MD

      Kate and the entire team made our refinance process seamless. They set appropriate expectations and did an amazing job communicating along the way. There were no surprises, which brought much peace with this financial decision. I would recommend using Kate and First Home Mortgage to any friends and family looking for a good, reputable lender.

      Emily Columbia, MD

      She was very furthercoming, knowledgable and accessible. Always ready to answer questions and help me through the home buying process. I at no point felt left in the wind and lost.

      Tiffany Pikesville, MD

      Kate was amazing! She was always available to answer questions and made everything about the process really clear and easy to understand. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and plan on recommending her to all of my friends. You hired a really, really great person for your team! 🙂

      Sara Reisterstown, MD

      Kate was fantastic! She was very quick to respond, always available, and ready with answers to my questions. As a young woman purchasing a home, I was a little nervous about the process, but she made it quick, easy, and smooth. She was a pleasure to work with.
