      Daniel Washington, DC

      Buying a home for the first time can be intimidating. Alex and his team were patient and helpful. They walked me through the process step by step so that I knew what to expect. They provided good guidance, especially with regard to the loan amount. I appreciate their communicativeness and support.

      My family and I moved back to the US from working abroad for a significant time period and were in contact with Alex for about 6 months before we arrived. He provided great, timely, and clear information and no question was too basic for him. He was very committed to helping us understand a highly nuanced process and gave great strategic advice on how to approach a mortgage. We hit a financial snag delaying our home search but when we were ready to get started again Alex was as supportive as he had always been guiding through the pre-approval process. When it was time to put down an offer Alex and his team were amazingly responsive and I believe their efforts contributed to us winning a bidding war on a property we fell in love with. I especially appreciate his willingness to run different financial models and to provide online resources to better explain the complicated aspects. Alex and his team were wonderful and we have already been strongly recommending them to friends.

      Rockville, MD

      Alex was great! He responded quickly to all of my loan scenarios and made settlement seamless. I will definitely refer Alex to friends and family.
