During a difficult period, on top of challenging personal circumstances, I was overwhelmed with my financial situation. I was referred to First Avenue Financial, and left my first appointment feeling great relief. The advisors I met with were compassionate, and most importantly their expertise in all options available, and ability to clearly explain them to me, allowed me to confidently choose the best option for my situation. I will use First Avenue Financial for financial advice again, and confidently recommend them to anyone needing Financial advice of any kind.
First Avenue Financial was there to help me achieve my dream of home ownership. I would totally recommend them. From the very first interaction I was sold and continue to be very happy with their service.
We dealt with FAF for our Autumn move. The first deal fell through due to bad home inspection and then our second move needed a last minute mortgage amount because our sale went through earlier than expected. Laura and the team were ON IT and helped us navigate what is always a stressful time! Highly recommended!
Why Use a Mortgage Broker?
More Options
With a network of major lenders and products to choose from, we can source your ideal mortgage options from the banks, credit unions, non-traditional lenders, and more. Taking the time to find the best option for your unique needs is a basic role as a mortgage broker
Negotiating on Your Behalf
Negotiating can be stressful. We act in your interests and do all the negotiating to secure competitive rates and terms that make sense for you. We have negotiating power because we fund millions of dollars in mortgages and lenders compete for our business.
