    My real estate broker referred me to 1st FML and I'm glad she did. Daneza & Eli were knowledgeable, kind, patient and very responsive. I'm grateful to have been connected with them, especially as a first time home buyer as the process can feel overwhelming.

    It's better to be late than never. Recently I was in the market to purchase a house. I encountered a problem and my Real Estate Agent recommended that I speak to 1st Florida Mortgage Lenders. I made the call and spoke with Daneza Socarras and explained my problem. Ms Socarras and her staff took the case and worked on It. Although the problem took about four months to be resolved in the end they were able to secure the mortgage for me.The staff was very professional. If I had to do it all over again 1st Florida Mortgage Lenders will be my lender. I would recommend Ms. Socarras and her staff. They were able to get me a good rate also.

    No tengo palabras para describir el nivel de eficiencia y profesionalismo que mi esposo y yo recibimos durante el proceso de la compra de nuestra primera casa. Daneza y Elizabeth nos acompañaron y guiaron en cada etapa, transmitiéndonos siempre tranquilidad, confianza y una actitud positiva hasta el día del cierre. Las recomendamos 100 %. Cinco estrellas no son suficientes para representar la excelencia del trabajo que realizan.

    I had the pleasure to work with Eli on a recent loan closing for a mutual client. She was professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure the transaction closed smoothly. Her attention to detail and clear communication made the entire process stress-free. I truly appreciate her dedication and expertise—highly recommend her and the rest of the 1st FML team!
