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.Posted on Google![]()

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.Posted on Google![]()
