      I was thrilled to close my first transaction with First Home Mortgage. Rob embodies the warmth and friendliness that every realtor hopes for in a lender working with their first-time homebuyers. I was impressed by Rob’s kindness and the professionalism of his teammates. Rob went above and beyond by showing up at settlement with thoughtful closing gifts for me and my clients, as well as sharing final instructions to ensure everything went smoothly. It was a wonderful gesture that immediately put everyone at ease. From the beginning, Rob did an excellent job connecting us to the First Home Mortgage family, and I look forward to working with them on future transactions.

      I worked with Rob on the purchase of several houses. Rob has exceptional knowledge. No question is “stupid” and he is available to answer your questions outside of working hours if needed. I would highly recommend him with absolutely no reservations to anhyone purchasing a home whether it is your first home or your fourth! He’s also just a very nice person with a wonderful sense of humor. He will put anyone at ease during what can be a very stressful time. We had a VERY short turn around time to closing and he managed to get all the approvals done with time to spare.
