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

    First Home Mortgage Corporation is committed to improving the quality of life for all customers and employees.

    This will be attained by:

    • Providing superior service
    • Seeking to constantly understand each other’s needs

    • Developing mutual trust, which will be the foundation for all relationships
    • Requiring excellence and integrity in everything we do

    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.

    Donny was responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. He helped us through every step of the mortgage process and was always available when we had questions. He provided weekly updates for us (we often heard from him more often than that but he provided a helpful summary of everything every Tuesday). If I am ever in the market for a mortgage again Donny will be my first call.
