About Us

Personalizing the Home Loan Process

From pre-qualification to closing, we are committed to providing the right loan to finance your home.

First Home Mortgage Corporation is a licensed, full service, residential lender. Our dedicated loan officers guide borrowers throughout the entire mortgage process and offer continued support long after a loan has closed. We take the time to understand the needs of our clients in order to find the best solutions, whether it’s a first-time buyer or an experienced owner.

Beginning in 1990, with two offices and a handful of employees, our founder and CEO, David Waters, was dedicated to a common vision to stay independent and provide superior service.

Since then, we have grown into a financial institution of 32 offices serving 21 states in the North Eastern, Mid Atlantic, and Southern regions.

Although First Home Mortgage continues to expand service locations, each of our locations is deeply rooted in their community and committed to helping local borrowers.

Each member of our team is focused on delivering customer service that not only fulfills goals, but exceeds expectations.

In the end, we provide the mortgage you need to make “Home” happen, but it’s the people who are always “First”.

Our Mission

This will be attained by:

Company Culture

At First Home Mortgage, our culture is based on the simple belief that everything we do is to improve the lives of the people we serve – our customers, partners and employees.

We understand that our purpose goes far beyond loan origination. We are here to help the home buyers in local communities achieve homeownership. With this mission in mind, our Loan Officers take the time to understand the financing needs of each client, outline the right loan programs, and make themselves available as mentors throughout the entire mortgage process. It is this personal approach that allows us to maintain such a high quality of service.

First Home Mortgage has built a reputation among business partners as being efficient, responsible and forthcoming. We keep all of our stakeholders informed during a transaction and deliver results, helping our partners succeed. The care and consideration we take in our lending practice is the reason why so many partners trust us with their clients.

The dedicated team at First Home Mortgage is our greatest asset. We value each employee and continuously provide a supportive atmosphere within our corporate office as well as our branch locations. Together we work to provide the best experience for our borrowers, which is why First Home Mortgage never hesitates to invest in our employees and their future.

As first time home buyers, my boyfriend and I were more than pleased with our experience. Erin and her team made everything incredibly easy and low stress.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris Loughlin & his team Zach Fahey and Lydia Jordan; they were incredible! This was our first home, and they made it seem like a breeze. Chris was always available and highly knowledgeable about anything I approached him with. He was an excellent communicator, ensuring we always felt cared for and never rushed. I will always recommend him and his team to my friends or family looking to buy a home. Thanks, Chris & team.

Jason Nader, JD Beck, and Constance Olmert are the best financial team I’ve ever had, hands down. We were referred to First Home by our Redfin realtor Ari. We were having issues with our VA-loan being closed out on our current home in NC before the purchase of our new home in MD, we were essentially backwards on the closings, we had brought this up with our mortgage team at Navy Federal and we were told to do a conventional loan, but we did not have $100k on-hand to cover the down payment on a $1 Million house! So we had to stay with a VA-loan. This is where Jason and his team at First Home came in with a comprehensive solution that allowed us to sell the NC home prior-to the MD home purchase, and give us funds for closing costs! We were so worried we were going to miss the window for our dream home due to issues that we caused, and we are forever grateful to Jason and his team in all they did. I have rarely seen such performance, speed, and accuracy outside of a military operation.

Marc was fantastic during all the process, providing clear and concise information. He was always available to resolve doubts and questions. Highly recommend him!

Paula Ch Merry Point, VA

Before working with Bobbie, I contacted at least 15 other banks and she was the ONLY ONE who was knowledgeable enough and willing to put in the extra work to preapprove me for a loan because my circumstances were not the easiest for a loan officer to wrap their heads around. As far as I’m concerned Bobbie might be the best loan originator in Rhode Island and the bank has really good underwriters. The bank does not have next day closing after a loan has been fully approved but it makes up for it with excellent service!

My experience with Jovan was very pleasant and professional. He educated me on the whole mortgage process and I was very informed. I will work with him again on my next home purchase and I am more than glad to recommend him to other people I know.

Matt (and his team) were so great! As first time homebuyers (and a very Type A personality) Matt made us really confident in the process and we knew were in good hands from our first phone conversation with him. He and his team were available to answer all our questions very quickly and in a way we could understand. Matt also did a lot of work and number crunching to make sure we were getting the best mortgage. Would 100% recommend him and his team!
