💬 Real Middleton Home Buyer Review

"Gerald (Jerry) Robinson from 1st Choice Mortgage was an absolute rockstar for our first time financing a home. He was very proactive and on top of the situation and kept us informed along the way. He is extremely knowledgeable and we felt taken care of in his capable hands. He was very clear about what documents we needed and when, what we should and should not do along the way, and provided timely communication through the entire process of buying a house. We heartily recommend 1st Choice Mortgage, and will be returning customers the next time we move!"
