Marc Aymard – First Home Mortgage

I wish I could give 10 out of 5 stars. I have now worked with Marc and First Home through several purchases and the sale of a condo, and he and his team have made it all so easy. When I bought my first place, Marc was so patient explaining everything and holding my hand through a process with which I was completely unfamiliar. When my husband and I recently bought a larger home, Marc helped us really understand our options so that we could maximize our budget and make a decision that made the most financial sense. Our situation was a little complicated having to rush settlement, and working in a pre-​settlement occupancy, and First Home still had everything done and ready to go well before closing day. While I hope we get to stay put in this home for a long time, if we decide to buy again we will definitely be calling Marc again.

Having bought and sold several homes, Marc and his team were the easiest mortgage brokers I have ever worked with. Ever. First, they are ON TOP of their communication. They were able to generate pre-​qualification letters at a moments notice when I was shopping for a house– such an important tool in a hot market. Being able to get that document quickly was the key to my purchase. Once I was under contract, I continued to work with Marc’s team to gather documents for underwriting. They were great at giving me a checklist of items to collect and then… THEY HAVE AN ONLINE PORTAL WHERE YOU CAN UPLOAD THEM. This may seem like nothing, but in an digital age, it’s amazing that some of the larger brokers don’t have customer-​friendly tools like this. Anyhow, I received frequent communications with Marc and his team and we worked together to keep everything on track on moving smoothly. I always felt prioritized and «kept in the loop.» I’d recommend Marc and First Home Mortgage for their great attitudes, ease of use, and customer-​first attitude.

I can’t say enough about Marc and the First Home Mortgage team. They’ve guided us through a new mortgage and refinance over the last 6 months. Marc takes the time to provide the best research-​based advice and walk you through all the complicated details. His team guides you through everything step-​by-​step, and they answer your questions very quickly.
Within six months, we were able to cut our mortgage by a half percent because of their diligent efforts.

Marc and his team are fantastic! We have used them for multiple mortgages and a refinance. They are professional, upfront, patient, understanding and extremely helpful in getting the process of buying a mortgage done. Their attention to detail throughout the process makes closing occur very quickly and efficiently. They work with the realtors, closing agencies, inspectors etc to make sure the loan is completed.
I highly recommend Marc and will go back with him and his team.

We’ve worked with Marc several times now (first home, refinancing, and our new home) and we can’t say enough wonderful things. Marc and his team were great at taking care of us through the mortgage process — which is at times incredibly stressful and daunting. We’ve always felt that Marc or his team was there to walk us through any of the questions, help us consider all our options and keep us on track when all the documentation requests start rolling in. He also worked fabulously with our realtor on making sure everything was moving smoothly. We keep coming back to Marc for our mortgage needs because of how easy it’s been to work with Marc and the excellent client service.

2.5 years ago my wife and I were first time home buyers with no clue how the process worked. Marc and his staff walked us through every step and got us the loan we needed with the terms we wanted. Cut to this year and I decide it’s time to refinance out of PMI. An e-​mail to Marc and the ball is rolling. A month later and we’re closed. A lower monthly payment, thousands saved in PMI, and a little pocket money to pay off some student loans. A first rate organization who I trust and recommend to everyone who needs a mortgage. They’ll be the first people we call when it’s time to move.

Marc and his team were instrumental in keeping my wife and I on track throughout the process of purchasing our condo.
I guess that the best thing I can say is, during the entire process, we felt as if we were the only two people purchasing a house in the entire DC area at that time. The team was ALWAYS keeping us on task and ALWAYS there to help with every detail.
It was truly a pleasurable experience working with them all.
