I have used Herb at 1st Eagle for both of the houses I've owned and several re-fis and I wouldn't think of using anyone else. He makes a tedious ordeal and easy as possible and gets the best rate around. Thank you, Herb!

Herb and his team are so great, they treat my wife and I like family. We have no closing cost or out of pocket cost. I was waiting for my VA paper to so we can get approve for VA loan. VA paper work felt thru and it cost Herb another $750 to extend my traditional loan from 30 days to 45 days. He was very generous and he ate the cost. I just want to express my appreciation to Herb, with the money we have saved, it can go to our 3 daughters college fund.

Herb and Pam were very helpful. Herb walked us through the process in our early meeting which was great so we know what to expect and be prepared for it. We had some troubles along the way, but they helped us through it. It was also convenient that they are one call away. They're awesome!!

Herb and Amy are fantastic and absolutely exceeded my expectations. They were knowledgeable, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. I would refer them to anybody that is looking to purchase or refinance. It took us 3 years to find our final house but never once over that long process did the quality of their service drop. Buying a house and dealing with everything involved can become overwhelming at times, but not with Herb and Amy, they are the best! I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

Herb and Pam are 2 of the most wonderful people to work with! Both very professional, polite, knowledgable, and always there to answer my emails and questions no matter the time of day. We purchased our home with them and also did a refinance and both times were beyond pleased with their service, dedication, and excellent rates. I couldnt imagine ever going through anyone else. I highly recommend 1st Eagle! Thanks Herb and Pam

Herb and his team were just amazing to work with. Herb took time to understand my situation and explained all my questions. He provided me with multiple options. Pam deserves a medal for her work! She really is on top of things. She guided me through the process showing "light at the end of the tunnel". It was my 3rd time getting the mortgage and best experience so far. I definitely recommend 1st Eagle and will be going back for future mortgage needs.

The team at 1st Eagle Mortgage were incredible. Herb was outstanding in taking the time to explain all the details of the loan process and answering all of our questions along the way. We were first time home buyers so this was a new process for us so there were a lot of questions. Herb was patient and made us feel comfortable every step of the way.
His staff were equally as impressive. Pam who was our loan processor was very prompt and work tirelessly to get our loan processed in less than 30 days (we had a quick close). When we got up in the morning for work, we already had an email from Pam. On Saturday mornings, we had an email from Pam. She worked really hard and because of her quick processing, we were able to close in time with a couple days to spare.
Overall, 1st Eagle Mortgage were incredible and so glad that we went with them instead of a bigger bank. We got a great rate and had easy communication with them. Highly recommended!

I'm so glad I called 1st Eagle Mortgage for my Standard 203K Mortgage Loan, Herb and Pam was Great throughout the entire loan process, After getting the runaround from another lender, I called 1st Eagle Mortgage, Herb Levine told me to send over some Docs, he looked them over and told me he could get the deal done, and true enough he did, Pam, the Loan Processor ROCKS, she's very knowledgeable and know the Mortgage Process, I'm so Glad I called because I didn't want to miss the Multi-Unit property my family and I had our hearts set on half a block away from Lake Michigan. 1st Eagle stepped in and got the deal done in a very timely fashion, If you're looking to get a mortgage loan, and don't want your valuable time wasted, trust me when I tell you, you should give 1st Eagle a call and save yourself a lot of time and frustration, They got me a great Mortgage rate with a minimal down Payment. Thanks Herb and Pam, I truly appreciate everything you've done.
Sincerely,
George B.

Herb and Pam were great! They were able to secure the loan by the due date, and the communication was superb. Herb did what he said. They could explain loan concepts in a simple and precise way.

Herb and the 1st Eagle Mortgage team were amazing to work with. Being my first home purchase left me feeling very insecure throughout the process. Herb and his team took the time to answer every question my wife and I had and to make sure that we were left feeling reassured that they had things handled. The result was 1st Eagle Mortgage was able to look me into the absolute possible best rate that was available. Even aside from securing incredible financing, Herb also was great about giving us guidance and protection on things we should look out for within a new home purchase. We are very thankful for Herb and the 1st Eagle Mortgage team and would highly recommend them to anyone buying a home.

I don't know if I can thank Herb Levin and his staff enough for all the help they provided during our mortgage process. Any questions or concerns we had were handled promptly and courteously. The closing was done at our home on time with zero problems. No stress, no hidden fees, no problems. Doesn't get any better!!

I recently purchased a home and the team from Eagle could not have been more accommodating in helping me secure a loan. I would recommend without reservation First Eagle Mortgage. They will make the process as simplified as possible and if you have a problem you will always be able to contact someone at Eagle who will immediately respond to your concerns.
