      I had a great experience with Bill Payne and First Home Mortgage. Bill was extremely accessible and responsive throughout the process. I have no complaints at all.

      Michael Charleston, SC

      Bill is GREAT! He knows the home mortgage industry, is very knowledgeable and what he tells his customers is truthful and just. This is my second time using Bill for my mortgage needs and I would not use anyone else. Bill deserves a RAISE!

      Nancy Chappell Sumter, SC

      Honestly, working with Bill and team put my mind at such ease. I am not only a first time homebuyer, but I went through this process on my own. Bill & his team answered all of the questions I had, no matter what time of day, and kept me up to date every step of the way. I truly felt so supported & in good hands with them!

      Kelsey Charleston, SC

      Bill was an unbelievable pleasure to work with. Not only was he a wealth of information through every step of our process but he consistently put our minds at ease at each step of our particularly complex scenario. Bill seemed personally invested in getting us the best rate we could beyond just coaching us. He went above and beyond any reasonable expectations on multiple occasions. I will insist to any of my friends who are looking to buy property that they work with Bill Payne. If I could give more stars I would.

      Austin Charleston, SC

      My experience working with Mr. Payne was excellent, especially with difficult circumstances as I work overseas and often do not have access to internet and phone service. The process was made simple and easy by the online portal, and his coworkers giving continued reminders to accomplish tasks. Will be recommending to my friends in the same line of work if they wish to purchase a home in the area.

      David Charleston, SC

      Bill went the extra mile for us. Communication was outstanding and very fast. He answered all the questions we had and made sure to put our mind at ease.

      Bjoern Hanahan, SC

      William (Bill) Payne and the rest of his team were professional, prompt and had excellent communication skills to keep the mortgage application process on track and running smoothly. Bill obtained a mortgage for me in less than 30 days despite the extenuating circumstances presented by Covid. Based upon my experience, I would recommend him to anyone looking for a no nonsense mortgage application experience.

      George Mount Pleasant, SC

      Bill is phenomenal! Super “customer” friendly and amazing to work with. I will continue to use FHM for future transactions because of Bill.

      Valrico, FL
