Brian's Reviews
We survey everyone who has submitted a loan application with this lender, whether the loan closed or not.
We very much enjoyed our experience working with Brian, who not only provided us the best rate and quick closing but helped us along the way of the whole mortgage application process, making a very complex and long process easy to understand. Brian is very responsive and always has the patience to answer all of our questions and explain all the details and figures. We felt that we were in good hands as first-time home buyers and hope to work with him again in the future.
Brian and his team were a pleasure to work with. He makes the whole process understandable. I very much appreciated his personal and thoughtful service.
Brian is one of the most responsive people I've ever met. He has SO much excellent knowledge about the home buying process, and he truly enjoys educating his clients and gives them relevant information. His 5-star ratings online are completely accurate.
Brian is great and was immensely helpful throughout the home buying process. He was extremely responsive and able to answer questions and get me information or pre-approval letters quickly. This helped us maintain our edge in negotiations and our ability to move quickly and efficiently towards offers. Brian was also extremely knowledgeable about the business of buynig homes in general, and his advice on a whole variety of issues beyond mortgages and lending was invaluable. Great guy, great customer service, great to work with! Highly recommended.
Incredibly knowledgeable and responsive. You definitely want an expert like him walking you through all of the numbers that will impact your final decision.
Brian is amazing to work with. As a first time home buyer I had lots of questions and concerns. He explained all aspects of the process thoroughly, checked in frequently, and made sure I stayed on track to close. With a quick closing period, you need a lender who is organized and on top of things. That describes Brian exactly and I especially appreciate the email updates on the process that he sends out to the entire closing team. He also won't leave you hanging once closing is finished. Brian let me know I can contact him whenever I have questions or concerns about any aspect of my mortgage. A++++
If you want an honest broker who can guide and advise you through the home-buying process, then Brian is the person to work with. He is incredibly knowledgeable about the real estate market and financing, and is very responsive. I highly recommend Brian and First Mariner.
This guy is the best. Extremely knowledgeable, very responsive, honest, and a nice guy. I had a LOT of questions throughout the process, and he took his time to answer all of them. Never felt rushed at all. Love him.
Brian and his team are excellent! You will not find a more responsive and professional representative in your mortgage process. My wife and I recommend him highly.
Brian was very supportive. Before choosing a lender, I looked through yelp and found Brian. Then I followed up and read many of his reviews in Zillow and Facebook. They were spot-on with the level of support he provides every part of the way. He was always available for a call or to respond by email. For me, the best part was to see the checklist upfront so I could line up all my ducks in a row before

Brian and his team are excellent! You will not find a more knowledgeable or responsive partner in your home search.
Brian was thorough, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We could count on him to return our calls within two hours, he answered every question we had, made suggestions as to what we should think about and look for, and his staff was very helpful when we needed to assemble all of our paperwork.
If we hadn't gone with Brian and his team, I'm certain we wouldn't have gotten the house.
I can't recommend Brian highly enough!!! He must have prepared about 20 or so different spreadsheets for me of what it would actually cost to purchase and own all the different properties I looked at for over a year before I was finally able to find the right one for me. Through it all he was patient and responsive, and always gave me detailed information - the kind you need when you are about to make such a huge investment. I ended up purchasing a foreclosure property, and through all of the ups and downs of dealing with Fannie Mae and the terrible title company, Servicelink (do not use them!), Brian and his team were incredibly helpful and reassuring. But the kicker was that when an inadvertent mistake was made, he went above and beyond and made it right for me. In my personal experience, he is the most open and honest lender I have ever encountered. In an era when bankers and others in the financial services industry aren't known for their morality, Brian's trustworthiness restored my faith, and reassured me that his primary concern was what was in my best interest. I NEVER felt pressured to consider taking on a bigger loan than what I had already determined was my budget. I'm not sure when I will be moving again (hopefully no time soon!), but in the event I do, I know exactly who I will call again for my next mortgage - Brian!

Brian was awesome, probably the best person we dealt with throughout the entire home buying process. He is incredibly responsive, willing to answer any and all questions at any time. Our agent said the pre-approval letter he gave us was very impressive and helpful to our offer. Dealing with him was entirely hassle free and pleasant. I would (and have) recommended him to friends.
