Brett was phenomenal and really went above and beyond to get us the best rate and to close on time. As a first time home buyer, I was skeptical to find such a professional through an initial loan application on Zillow. However, it quickly became clear that were lucky to have connected with him and cannot recommend him enough! He put us in touch with a great realtor who he works with often - this made all the difference as we really felt that we had a team in our corner! We are so thankful to be in our dream home and will definitely be repeat customers when the time comes to refinance.

Brett and his team were wonderful to work with over the course of my first-time home purchase. Brett was very personable and knowledgeable; he made each step well known in advance and provided as in-depth or broad an explanation as required to help me understand and feel comfortable.

Dominic was great from the first minute. As first-time homebuyers, my wife and I were nervous about the whole process, but the team at Total Mortgage made it smooth. From start to finish, the communication was clear and responsive, always keeping us informed and never leaving us guessing. The process moved faster than we expected, and the rate we got was excellent. It's rare to find a team that combines professionalism with such a personal touch. We couldn't have asked for a better experience for such an important milestone
