At first i worked with another lender I described everything about my situation planned to buy a house at first they feel very nice after that they denied my application they knew that its gonna be tough, they not trusted my work. After I found Kevin and his team Nathan they were great, i recommended at first im so hesitated to ask when I need help with something I didn't understand after that i feel comfortable to asked. The first time I talk with him I can feel he very happy to help me out to get a house for our family I feel like he trusts in my worked, we had a struggle at the end but we did it, finally we closed on our home,because of their work,my worked,and our worked together ❤️ .

This helped me and my wife buy our home. Kennith, our agent, work extremely hard to help answer our questions and get us to the finish line. I couldn't recommend this company more to people wanting to acquire a home. They even worked with me who had little to no credit, so they can help.

I’ve had the opportunity to connect with the team at 1st Advantage Mortgage, and they’ve been great to work with. They’re knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely seem to care about helping people understand their mortgage options rather than just pushing a loan. Their communication and willingness to explain the process really stand out. I would definitely recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a mortgage broker in the Charlotte area.

Kevin Mcgee I’ve been looking for my first house for a year or longer. When I got in contact with Kevin and his team everything came together as smoothly as anyone can ask for. Kevin was there guiding me along the way and could find any answer to any of my questions. I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to rely on other than him.

Rocket mortgage has an amazing team of people who may as well be family. They took every worry, every hesitation, every fear and turned it into a fun, fast, easy and affordable process. We are so lucky to have met Michael Vittatoe and his crew, they worked endlessly to make sure we had a smooth home buying experience. From taking our late night phone calls, answering all of the ridiculous questions and getting the contracts signed DAYS earlier than projected, they handled it all. With kindness, and grace. If you’re looking to buy a home for the first time, or the fifth, you’re best bet is rocket mortgage. They are lifesavers.

We just closed on our first home today and this wouldn't have been possible without the help of our amazing Loan Officer Michael Vittatoe. He went above and beyond to help us and answered all the questions we had. He was always a phone call or text away, as first time home buyers he made sure we understand everything and made sure we got the best outcome for our family. I 100% recommend you to choose 1st Advantage Mortgage to help you get your dream home.

As first-time homebuyers, we had absolutely no idea what we were getting ourselves into. 😂 There were so many moving pieces, so many documents, and a lot more involved than we ever expected. We had the pleasure of having Michael Vittatoe as our Loan Officer. He was patient, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer my endless questions. No matter how many emails, texts, or phone calls I sent, he never made me feel like I was bothering him. He took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense and kept us informed every step of the way. What impressed us the most was all the work happening behind the scenes that we didn’t even see. While we were stressing over every update, Michael was working hard to keep everything moving forward and get us to the closing table. We never felt like just another loan file. Michael genuinely cared about our family and helping us achieve our goal of becoming homeowners. His hard work, patience, and dedication made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for everything he did for us and would recommend him to anyone going through the home-buying process. Thank you, Michael, for helping make our dream of homeownership a reality! 🖤🏡🔑

I can tell they put in hardwork to find the best mortgage refinance for me. I appreciate their efforts!!

My experience with this company is nothing short of professional, skilled and caring for every client I’ve sent their way. As an agent, it’s import to me to have trusted lenders who will take care of my clients the way I do- and every person I’ve encountered at 1st Advantage Mortgage has done just that. Jonathon Hafer and I work together often and he nails it every time. 🎉 If you want to find a mortgage broker in North Carolina who will guide you and look out for your best interest- this is the place to call!

They have access to wholesale rates that big banks just can’t beat. If you’re buying in Charlotte, Gastonia, or Fort Mill and want a broker who actually picks up the phone and gets you to the closing table without delays, this is the team. 5 stars!

As the buyer’s agent, communication is everything, and Charlie consistently kept all parties informed, responded quickly, and helped keep the transaction moving smoothly. Their team is always proactive, professional, and solution-oriented, ensuring our client felt confident and supported throughout the process.

Michael and Melissa were so attentive during the process and helping me understand any questions I had about the lending process. As a DACA recipient who never thought he would own a home any time soon, they made sure I was treated fairly and given the chance and locked in an amazing rate for me in this market.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Michael. Buying a home is stressful, and there were definitely moments where I felt overwhelmed — especially around the appraisal and other unknowns. Every single time I started to spiral, Michael would calmly walk me through what was happening and reassure me. He truly hand-held me through the entire process. What really stood out was how responsive he is. It genuinely doesn’t matter what time of day it is — if you text or call him with a question, he gets back to you. And not just with a quick answer, but by actually calling and explaining things so you feel confident. Having someone that prompt, patient, and steady in your corner makes all the difference. I would recommend Michael to anyone without hesitation.

Navigating the mortgage process as a first-time homebuyer can feel pretty overwhelming, and a lot of the lenders we spoke to felt deceptive or pushy. That completely changed when we found Michael Vittatoe and 1st Advantage Mortgage. He was absolutely INCREDIBLE and held our hands every step of the way. He thoroughly answered every single question we had—usually within the hour—and made us feel completely taken care of. There were no surprise last-minute costs and no deceptive sales pitches. If you want a super straightforward, honest lender, I couldn't recommend Michael and 1st Advantage more highly.

My Husband and I were first time homebuyers and after doing extensive research we decided to use First Advantage Mortgage to assist us in purchasing our first home. My husband’s file was extremely unique and difficult to work with and for a while homeownership for us looked unlikely but Michael and his team at first advantage worked after hours around the holidays and through weekends they did everything in there power to get us to the finish line. Michael literally moved mountains and we couldn’t be more thankful, he was patient and kept things transparent with us through the whole process. With the help of Michael and the team of first advantage mortgage my husband and I are first time homeowners just in time for the holidays!! 🥹🥳 Thank you First Advantage Mortgage!!!

Working with 1st Advantage Mortgage has truly felt like a blessing from God. From the introduction, via Sierra Garren - Lake Wylie Realtor, their team showed a level of integrity, and dedication that is rare to find. Specifically, Michael Vittatoe - Senior Loan Officer, consistently put my needs above all else, making sure every question was answered, every detail was explained, and every step of the process was handled with genuine compassion and professionalism. The value he brought to my home-buying journey was nothing short of astronomical. His knowledge, support, and commitment made the entire experience smoother and more uplifting than I ever imagined. I am beyond grateful for Michael, “1st Advantage Mortgage”, and the extraordinary effort they put into helping me achieve my goals. If you’re looking for a mortgage team that treats you like family and works with unwavering dedication, look no further—they are a blessing in every way.

Charlie and Alex were extremely helpful during the whole purchase process. They were extremely responsive and very clear about what was needed in order to finalize the closing process. They made the complicated home buying process a lot less stressful.

Outstanding Experience with Nick Fink at 1st Advantage Mortgage! Working with Nick Fink was an absolute pleasure. He’s one of the most efficient and detail-oriented processors I’ve ever worked with. From start to finish, Nick kept everything on track, communicated clearly at every step, and made what could have been a stressful process feel seamless. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, quick to respond, and always goes the extra mile! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, professional, and genuinely great at what they do, I can’t recommend Nick Fink enough. 1st Advantage Mortgage is lucky to have him!

An Outstanding Experience with 1st Advantage and Chelsea Reeder I had an outstanding initial experience with 1st Advantage while exploring mortgage options for an investment property — my first time going through the process. I spoke with several mortgage providers, but Chelsea Reeder stood out immediately. From our first conversation, she brought exceptional knowledge, passion, and genuine care that made the entire experience both informative and empowering. Chelsea took the time to explain every detail, ensure I understood my options, and guide me thoughtfully through each step. She gave me a great education on what to consider when securing mortgages on investment properties, and I truly felt like I had a trusted partner on my side. I’ll absolutely be coming back to 1st Advantage when I make my offer. Thank you, Chelsea!

I had an excellent experience with Chelsea Reeder. What an education - I thought I could only qualify for a mortgage with a 20% down payment. Chelsea got me into my first house with a 3.4% FHA loan! I couldn't be happier, she was with me through the whole process. I highly recommend Chelsea!

With 10+ years of Real Estate experience, I have worked with more Mortgage Lenders than I can count, but 1st Advantage Mortgage takes the trophy for best Mortgage Lender I have ever worked with! I know that when I refer a buyer to them, they will be in good hands. We have worked together to help several home buyers reach their goal of home ownership, and although every file is different, I know that I can count on consistent communication and a team that works together to find a solution. I can not recommend 1st Advantage Mortgage enough! Charlie, Alex, Michael-- the best of the best!

Most personable, easy, and efficient lender I have dealt with for my home’s refinance. Out of all the lenders in Charlotte, they are by far the best! I’m going to be recommending them to my friends and family for any refinancing needs.

I can’t say enough great things about working with Michael at first advantage mortgage. Over the years, they’ve helped so many of my clients not only get into their dream homes but do so with amazing rates and a completely seamless process. From start to finish, their communication is clear, they explain everything in a way that makes sense, and they always go above and beyond to ensure closings happen smoothly. As a real estate agent, having a lender I can trust is everything—and Michael is that person. I know when I connect my clients with him that they’re in the best hands possible. If you’re thinking about buying a home and want the process to feel less stressful and more straightforward then First Advantage Mortgage should be your first choice

My wife and I had to best home buying experience anyone could ask for, I can’t recommend these guys enough. Michael Vittatoe is a professional, efficient, incredibly kind, and helpful person to get you through the home buying experience. He was always there for every question we had and even went so far as to help with silly things I couldn’t figure out like converting files we needed on our end. They got us an amazing realtor, CJ, who was just as professional and kind as Michael. We were able to negotiate a great price and amazing rate so that we can start our family. Thank you guys so much for everything you did. If you’re thinking about buying a home seriously give these guys a call.
