Optimum First Mortgage Mortgage Review 2021

Working with Thomas Doney. Communication was great. Always prompt and in touch, from start to finish

Clearly I was impressed by/with Peter when I did our first REFI about 7 yrs ago. I'm a BIG believer in professionalism, integrity, responsibility, and that good old fashion sincerity along with personable service. You can believe me when I tell you ... I expect it from someone when I'm paying for a ...service, as that's what I give to my clients. As nice as I am is as tough as I can be … and I don't have much, if any, tolerance for nonsense … or for anyone wasting my time. Peter has always made this tedious process absolutely seamless. He's a gem of a mortgage broker … and I deal with MANY … as I'm a real estate broker and come across them "rather often" … to say the least. I RARELY write a review. That said, I like to give credit were credit is due … and it's most certainly due in Peter's case … and then some. He's one of the best I've ever worked with … and coming from a real estate broker … that says volumes. show more

Thomas was great to work with! Very responsive and clearly explained the process and helped us work through the necessary documentation . We didn't get any run-around like you might get with bigger lenders and I couldn't be happier with our rate! We closed with 20 days to spare on our rate lock (...even during a pandemic), and it's nice to know that they will be looking to roll us down to a lower rate should that occur in the future. I'd recommend Optimum First to anyone! show more

Erik provided us a very high level of service and expertly answered all of our questions.

Danyelle did an excellent job managing the loan process and getting everything lined up to succeed. She went the extra mile for our refinance and stuck through the process even as unforeseen complications on our side were going to derail the process. I am very thankful for the hard work and dedicati...on that Danyelle put forth to get us to the finish line. show more

Kenneth was exceptionally helpful throughout the process. He responded quickly and kept me up to date on the status of the loan. I would definitely go through Kenneth again for a loan or refinance!

We have utilized Lee Glen’s expertise and have refinanced multiple times over the last decade. He is always professional, thorough, prompt, and does his research, often times reaching out to us with possibly better options. He's even called on the weekend after a less than optimal mobile-notary ex...perience. We have and will continue to recommend Lee and Optimum First. show more

Our recent refinancing experience with Optimum First and Kelly Schaar was absolutely a most refreshing pleasure. Working with Kelly and Optimum, our loan experience was nothing less than excellent in every possible way. Their attention to detail, the customer’s experience and integrity throughout ...was frankly a breadth of fresh air. I don’t write reviews. However, I am compelled to do so for Kelly and Optimum. They darn well deserve all the positive attention possible. Unsolicited, I have recommended Kelly and Optimum to 3 of my close friends. If we finance in the future, I will look no further than Kelly and Optimum. Anyone who gives this company less than 5 stars needs to have their head examined! show more

We have used Optimum First already three times after some disappointments with the “big” companies. I highly recommend them especially Peter DiFerdinand, who is outstanding. He follows through, is always on top of it, knows what he is doing and has a great personality! Again I highly recommend t...his company and you are in good hands with Peter! show more

Excellent service from Tim Williams and team. Very quick and efficient. The easiest refinance I have ever done.
