Marty explained the process of purchasing a home with such honesty and professionalism. He was very knowledgeable and responsive throughout the whole process. I would recommend him to anyone in need of financing.

I purchased my first home through Rob and because of his excellent service, I decided to use him a second time. Rob helps eliminate the stress of purchasing a home. Both of my purchases went very smoothly, and I always felt well taken care of. He doesn't ever make you feel pressured, and always makes you feel comfortable enough to ask any and all questions you may have. I would highly recommend Rob Eddie at Northern Mortgage if you're looking to purchase a home!
