Very difficult to deal with, escrow department does not do their due diligence to evaluate accounts, they prefer to keep $$ on hand until they decide to audit their accounts once a year. Their regulations apparently surpass State laws and regulations for SHEVD (Homestead Exemption for Veterans with Disabilities). Looing forward to re financing with someone else.

I learned about First Centennial from my Realtor in 2020. I did not end up purchasing a house then, but the initial contact with ****** ****** was very good. When I was ready to purchase a home in 2021, I went back to ****** and First Centennial. I am very glad that I did. The expertise and support that I received from ****** was top notch. From start to finish, I had a very good experience.

As first time home buyers we had a horrible experience with our LO. Andrew H. Andrew seems like a kind caring person but for us he really dropped the ball. Our loan was not monitored correctly and we were placed in a loan that we did not qualify for even though we filled out our application true to our situation. We found out 2 days before our closing day that there was no way to get approved and ended up homeless for 2 weeks and half. It was a very stressful and disheartening situation for our family. There was 6 weeks to f... read more

Update- FCM regional manager reached out to me and I was able to express my concerns. I feel that Karth and his team were genuine in their acts to find a resolution. I was assured that a scenario like mine would be prevented in the future. Karth implemented new training/education to his team and for that am very grateful. I appreciate the outreach and communicaton from Karth and FCM.

Dottie went above and beyond to help us with our Mortgage. She was recommended to us by our realtor who has worked with her for many years. We were first time homebuyers and she truly fought for us every step of the way. We had a million questions in the beginning and she was always quick to respond to our emails or take our phone calls to reassure us. And her positive energy really helped us stay focused when there was a lot to get done. For such a big decision in life, we felt taken care of with Dottie and her team and are... read more

My wife and I took on the journey of buying our first home starting back in March 2020-right at the start of all of the craziness going on with the virus. We found the perfect realtor; and after one conversation with Dottie ******, we knew we had the perfect mortgage lender. Dottie was a punctual, very knowledgeable, and an extremely warm person to deal with. She was also tough when it came to dealing with a pesky selling lender-which we appreciated. As first time buyers, we did do our homework and shopped around for the bes... read more

Working with Dottie *******from First Centennial Mortgage was a pleasure. I do not remember how I found her, but she is Gem! She guided us throughout the whole process of buying our first home. She held my hand along the bumpy road, for which I will be forever grateful! She made the process so much smoother and did so much behind the scenes which only made things easier for us. If we ever have to go through the process of purchasing another property I will choose her again with my eyes closed. Very experienced, professional ... read more

Worse company I have ever done business with, first Tommy *****tells me, NO fees, NO point , then at the end of my loan, he charges me more than $1,500.00 Then three months later, all the payments, that I made, they didn’t apply it to my balance, had to make numerous calls and spoke to many supervisors, then 2 months later they fixed the problem, very sloppy company ??????

Dottie ******was amazing! She is a real gem of a lender, and I would whole-heartedly recommend her to anyone in the market for a new home. She got us a great mortgage, and was clear and patient throughout the entire process. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

Dottie Yeakel was amazing throughout the entire loan process. She kept everything organized and easy. Dottie always made herself available to answer any questions my wife or I had and was there for us from the beginning to the closing. We highly recommend her!
