First Home Mortgage Corporation continues to earn statewide recognition for its impact on homeownership across Maryland, taking home multiple honors at the 2025 annual partner awards hosted by the Maryland Mortgage Program.
The Maryland Mortgage Program has spent more than four decades helping primarily first-time buyers access stable, fixed-rate financing along with down payment and closing cost assistance—and in many cases, student debt relief through its SmartBuy initiative. In a housing market where affordability remains one of the biggest barriers to entry, programs like this are not just helpful—they’re essential.
Against that backdrop, First Home Mortgage stood out in a major way.
Recognized as Top Performing Lender
First Home Mortgage was named Top Performing Lender, the program’s highest distinction for production leadership and commitment to expanding access to homeownership across Maryland.
This recognition reflects more than volume. It highlights consistent engagement with borrowers who benefit most from structured assistance programs and careful loan guidance.
First Home Mortgage’s impact was also reflected in individual recognitions:
- Tammi Printz was honored as a Top Producing Loan Officer
- Ryan Paquin was named a Top Producing SmartBuy Loan Officer
According to remarks shared during the awards event by Jake Day, the Maryland Mortgage Program continues to help thousands of residents achieve homeownership each year, averaging roughly $1 billion in annual mortgage reservations and supporting more than 3,000 homebuyers in Fiscal Year 2025 alone.
Recognition at this level signals something important: meaningful participation in affordable homeownership programs doesn’t happen by accident. It requires alignment between lenders, borrowers, and public-private housing partnerships.
First Home Mortgage’s continued presence at the top of the program’s performance rankings reflects exactly that kind of alignment and a sustained commitment to helping more Maryland families step confidently into homeownership.
