First Priority Financial

I worked with Craig on a transaction a few months ago and was quite impressed with his knowledge and his integrity. Over the years I have worked with probably 20 or more other mortgage brokers and every time I’m done I think «I never want to work with them again.» Craig is the first mortgage broker I’ve met who has genuine integrity and who I will definitely call the next time I need a mortgage broker.

As an insurance agent I have met dozens of mortgage brokers over the years. Tim is hands down, my choice, the best mortgage broker.
1) he knows the mortgage inside out. Tim is a seasoned pro in the mortgage business. He is a really smart guy.
2) he knows how to get a loan approved and funded. He is a seasoned pro, not a 22 year old kid, just out of college, working at a bank, thinking about the party he is going to tonight.
3) he puts his customers needs before his own. This means, sometimes he tells people that he cannot improve their situation and suggests that they stay with what they have, instead of re-​fi with him.
4) he is honest. Plain and simple, he has integrity and is trustworthy.
5) he answers phones and works hard. You don’t have to to worry about your loan sitting on a desk not being worked on because the mortgage broker is playing golf instead of working on your loan.
6) he is a nice guy. It is not important in getting your loan closed that your mortgage broker is a nice guy, but it is good that he is, and the conversations you have with him will be pleasant.

Let me start with: «Craig Copeland is an awesome guy!» I was referred to Craig of First Priority Financial by my Financial Advisor. I am so very glad I listened to him. Craig is honest, very efficient and very easy to work with. He made the process so easy, compared to banks and credit unions. During the loan processing, he was communicative, provided me updates on my file on a daily basis which was very instrumental in quick closing. I couldn’t believe that it took us less than a month to close in spite of some snags along the way. If you are looking for a broker and/​or a lender, I highly recommend Craig Copeland and First Priority Financial. He has his clients’ best interest at heart.

Can’t say enough. Nice guy and always available when you need him. Communicates with you through crazy stressful process and makes it seem easy. Great to work with. Best service I have come across hands down, in any field. We were searching for two years for a house and he was there the whole time with any letters needed for offers and helped close our deal with his backing to get a quick close, it clenched the deal! We finally have a house. He also helped us with a refi on another property when no one else would help, now we are saving money every month vs paying out. You won’t regret it!

Another wonderful transaction. Thank you Tim! Very professional… Wonderful communication throughout the entire transaction. Thank you again for being such an awesome professional.

Tim has been outstanding to work with… I was referred to him by one of my peers at the office — he’s super responsive, transparent, and, is able to ‘take care of business’ in a very timely manner ranging from coordinating with the real estate agents, escrow, etc. I had some credit issues I was working through resulting from a bad investment — Tim provided some very compelling opportunities that helped me enter the market sooner than expected, supported me through the entire process, and, ensured that everything would be orchestrated such that I have a timely close. Further, since I entered the market after it got hot again, it took me a while to identify a property that my family could move forward on – through the entire time and through offers on other properties, Tim was always very patient and someone I could just bounce ideas of off. I can honestly say that I started my engagement with Tim focused on a business transaction, and would now say he’s a friend that I plan on referring my peers and relatives to (already sent 2 folks his way). Your home is probably one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make — do yourself a favor and work the financing piece with someone that you can trust, someone that is local, and, someone that will be there with you every step of the way — Tim is your guy for that.

Tim was referred to me by my father-​in-​law. First and foremost, I knew if my father-​in-​law was referring me, he wouldn’t send me to a crook. My wife and I were refinancing our house and Tim made it so easy. There were no hiccups and he gave me solid, straight up answers. He was on vacation in the middle of my refi and he answered emails almost immediately. I was amazed. As someone who has used Wells Fargo for a home loan before, I would 100% use Tim again.

Tim Soldati has helped us purchase two homes now and we wouldn’t go to anyone else. He was with us each step of the way and couldn’t be more helpful. Tim answered all of my **cough cough** nagging questions no matter how small or dumb I thought they were. He made sure we were comfortable in every step of the process before proceeding and always had our best interest (no pun intended) in mind. We were recommended Tim by our realtor and between the two of them they smoothly handled any and all hiccups and curve balls thrown our way. I would highly recommend Tim to anyone looking for a good mortgage rate or to anyone even thinking about purchasing and doesn’t know where to start.

Tim Soldati was recommended to us by a number of our friends who utilized his services for refinancing their mortgages. On our initial conversation Tim said to me «I can guarantee one thing I will work really hard for you.» What can I say he did! We looked for a home for the better part of 6 months and Tim was with us every step of the way. He knew our budget and knew our, «story.» I had a somewhat complicated work arrangement, wanted to retain another property as an investment and needed a larger house for my family of 6 while trying to maintain some financial goals. Tim analyzed the situation, thought outside the box and came up with reasonable solutions when a tremendous opportunity came our way. Tim worked for my family’s best interests and never pushed us into anything we were not comfortable with. He has a lot of experience and was extremely professional and straightforward. Everything was easy to understand and he even attended the signing to ensure everything was absolutely correct and to answer any questions we may had. I will use Tim for any future home financing needs and have recommended him to numerous friends and colleagues.

Tim Soldati was an absolutely critical part of our home purchase, he saved the day more times than I can remember.
Throughout the entire process Tim was cool, calm and collected helping to keep our family from worrying too much.
The services provided by Tim far exceed our expectations and I would strongly recommend his services to anyone.

I was referred to Tim Soldati at FPF by my realtor. They both had been working together for many years and I could tell that they had a great business relationship. Tim was a pleasure to work with and made the loan process smooth as could be. I didn’t know too much about mortgages going into my first home purchase, but Tim explained everything to me and was a great resource. He is incredibly experienced and made me feel like an important client. He helped me process all my offers quickly and kept me updated on everything. Tim was very prompt in responding to my calls and emails. In the end, Tim helped me achieve my goal in getting the lowest interest rate at the time for my mortgage. I’m very satisfied with the service that I received at FPF.

I have referred some of my friends to Tim as a trusted Mortgage Broker. He spends time with customers, isn’t afraid to tell someone that the time is not right to refinance or buy a home and is a winner in this tough industry!

My husband and I have been working with Tim on the financing of our first home loan. I have to say, I would work with Tim on anything.
He shows tremendous skill at what he does, got us an amazing rate, and managed my stress and anxiety, (thats a skill on its own!) I am the type of person who always has many projects going on at once and Tim is efficient beyond belief. He has the ability to quickly figure out how much, or little, information his clients will need, and how they like to get it. Then he simply delivers.
The lending space is a tough place right now, to say the least, and Tim’s integrity has not suffered one bit. His eye is always on our best interest, not in just closing a deal, and that is worth its weight in gold.
I will be sending ALL of my friends to Tim. I would go out of my way to make NEW friends to send to Tim.

Tim Soldati is a person that I would send my grandmother, children and best friends to. As a professional team of Realtors, we help to connect him with many of our clients.
Tim ALWAYS does what is in the best interest of the client. I watched him spend an hour and a half trying to talk my girl friend out of doing a loan that she wanted to do. She took his advice and is glad today that she did.
Tim has done the impossible for many of our clients and saved many difficult transactions that were on the verge of falling apart with all the challenges of the current market dynamics and loan rules that change daily.
Do yourself a big favor and put Tim on your short list of mortgage brokers to interview.
