We’re proud to share that First Home Mortgage has been recognized as a Top Performing Lender and a Gold Tier Lender by the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) during this year’s Maryland Mortgage Program (MMP) Annual Awards.
This recognition highlights our continued commitment to helping more Maryland families achieve homeownership—especially first-time buyers. The MMP has long been a powerful resource for homebuyers, offering fixed-rate mortgage options, down payment and closing cost assistance, and even student debt relief through the popular Maryland SmartBuy initiative.
“The Maryland Mortgage Program provides more Marylanders and their families the chance to own a home,” said DHCD Secretary Jake Day. “The long-term success of this program is built on our lenders, realtors, title companies, housing counselors and other industry partners.”
We’re honored to be among the top contributors to this success. In 2024 alone, the program helped nearly 3,000 households with down payment assistance and surpassed $1 billion in loan reservations—for the fifth year in a row.
At First Home Mortgage, we believe in the power of homeownership to build generational wealth and create stronger communities. We’re grateful for the opportunity to partner with the Maryland Mortgage Program and will continue to support homebuyers across the state with dedication, guidance, and heart.
Thank you to our loan officers, partners, and clients who helped make this recognition possible!
