"Apex Home Loans worked overtime to make sure that my financial needs were met and ensured that I got exactly what I was promised."

Craig F.
Arlington, VA


"This is the second time we financed a home purchase through Apex. Each time it went smoothly, and without any hassles. In fact, we passed up $15,000 in builder's incentives to go with Apex our second time, and don’t regret the expense. Each time we got the mortgage arrangements most suitable to our needs and desires at the time. We can unreservedly recommend Apex and, when/ if it comes time to refinance we will call them a third time."

"Apex, and specifically Craig Strent, were so easy to do business with. He listened to me and reviewed all my liabilities and came up with a solution to help reduce my expenses and increase my cash flow. The costs for the loan were very very competitive and the interest rate was unbeatable. I can finally sleep at night!"

Laura T.
Fairfax, VA

"Kathy and I wanted to thank you and your staff for doing such a phenomenal job preparing the mortgage on our new home. The level of professionalism, expertise and courtesy from Apex Home Loans generally, and you in particular was completely beyond our expectations.

After this experience and all of our previous dealings with Apex Home Loans, I would eagerly recommend you to any of my friends and family who were considering purchasing a home. We have purchased two homes with your help as well as a refinanced our first home, and each time we come to you, you manage to exceed the already high standard you set in our previous dealing.

I simply cannot imagine making any decisions that involve the financing of my home without your advice and involvement. Your assistance makes the entire process as simple and as sensible as possible. Thanks again."

Adam B & Kathy L
Alexandria, VA

"Thank you for making the whole loan application and home buying experience a good one. Even prior to closing we felt very confident in our choice to use APEX Home Loans. However after the closing we were absolutely sure we had made the right choice. Both our real estate agents and the seller's agent were very appreciative of the updates they were sent from your office and the title attorney was impressed with the rate you locked in for us and the LIBOR type loan. As first time home buyers we wouldn't have known to ask for many of the things that you provided us with and it was very nice to feel well taken care of through out the whole process. So thank you for all of your assistance, we will be sure to pass your name along to our friends and family."

Eddie & Airika C.
Washington, D.C


"Apex offered competitive rates and fantastic services. The team remembers me as a previous client which avoids unnecessary time delays and work gathering information. I felt Craig had my best interest at heart."

Denise F.
Arlington, VA


"We really couldn't have been more pleased with the process. It was an extremely efficient experience. We were more than pleased overall."

Rebecca & Seth G.
Alexandria, VA

"Apex is the only company I feel completely comfortable with when doing mortgage business. Craig and his team are always very responsive and knowledgeable. Their service goes above and beyond that of any other company, including contacting the credit bureau to amend an error. Our unique financial situation was taken care of amazingly well! Thanks again! I refer you to everyone I know."

Mary H.
Arlington, VA

"We received excellent service from Craig Strent throughout the entire process. Great communication and follow-up, very knowledgeable. This is the second time we have worked with Apex and sure it will not be the last."

Dorothy & Stephen H.
Fairfax, VA


"Craig always presents me with an easy-to-understand explanation of my options up front and is always prepared with the numbers before he makes the call."

Lam & Adrienne N.
Sterling, VA


"Everything went perfectly at the closing this morning. I wanted to thank you for all of your help in the process. Especially it being our first time, you and your team were wonderful."

Michael K & Veronica H
Alexandria, VA

"I wanted to thank you for helping us to refinance our mortgage for a second time. As Lisa and I have come to expect, APEX makes the whole process incredibly easy! Even the closing took all of 20 minutes... meaning that the whole process cost me a total of 1 hour since we started talking about refinancing. My hats off to you and your staff for doing such a wonderful job.
And I will be sure to pass your name along to others. It is the least I can do. It is so rare today to get the level of customer service that you guys offer and I am more than happy to support APEX anyway I can.
And you can count on us coming back to APEX in the future (but I have a feeling...it may be a while...two refi's in two and a half years is enough for me ;-)
Best of luck to you and the rest of your team."

TJ & Lisa R.
Rockville, MD

"We wanted to thank you both for the amazing service Apex provided in finding financing for us to purchase our first home.
The turn around time was two weeks and you gave us very competitive rates and helped us meet all deadlines. We appreciated being kept informed of every step as we moved through the mortgage process.
Our realtor was very impressed in their dealings with you. The closing went well and we are set to move in this weekend.
Thank you again and we will be recommending you to others."

Sarah S & Brinton B.
Arlington


"We are so glad we went with you for the loans. We really appreciated how straightforward you made the process and how thorough and detailed you were in answering all of our questions (including the repeated ones too). If we ever buy again we will definitely call you first."

Danielle W & Eric T.
Silver Spring, MD


"Apex was fast with info/alternatives, giving choices, helpful/encouraging, pleasant to work with, very smooth process - Thank you."

William D.
Springfield, VA

"This was my first time dealing with Apex Home Loans. I was skeptical at first that a mortgage company could provide services equal or better than a major banking institution. I was pleasantly surprised with the favorable mortgage rates and terms Apex Home Loans had to offer. The professionalism and courteous service I received was something I would expect but rarely got until dealing with Apex Home Loans. My loan officer treated me like a person rather than a number on some credit report. He listened to my needs and laid out the best choices for loans that would help me meet my financial goals. Through the whole loan process I was able to reach my loan officer by phone. Sometimes he would be busy or out of the office. He would make every effort to return my calls in a timely manner. Dealing with one person who kept up with the day to day status of my loan rather than several people as in other institutions I dealt with in the past was invaluable in reducing my anxiety and stress. Apex Home Loans has the closest thing to a no stress and painless home loan. I will use Apex Home Loans for all my mortgage needs and would not hesitate to refer them to my friends or relatives."

Mark R.
Arlington, VA

"Both Craig and Curtis were very helpful and supportive in this process. They took the time to explain things in detail, as well as "run the numbers" for us multiple times. They were very on top of the process application and updated us regularly."

Melissa & Christopher D.
Silver Spring, MD


"Just wanted to send you a note to let you know what a delight it was working with you and Apex -- effortless! Thanks again for your help. I plan to recommend Apex to EVERYONE I KNOW!"

Elizabeth D.
Washington, DC

"Having worked with Craig several years ago, we felt very comfortable in calling on his services again. He has a way to make you feel relaxed and assured that we are going to get the best deal available. As long as Craig is in the business, he will have us as customers."

Brain & Nellie T.
Silver Spring, MD

"We received excellent service from Craig Strent throughout the entire process. Great communication and follow-up, very knowledgeable. This is the second time we have worked with Apex and sure it will not be the last."

Dorothy & Stephen H.
Fairfax, VA

"Craig's responsiveness throughout the year has been fantastic. From the time we hinted at wanting to purchase property he was always extremely responsive in providing us information and gave his time without a qualm. It was a pleasure doing business with someone who thoroughly understands the industry and our needs."

Komlan E. & Charisse C.
Reston, VA


"From start to finish the refinancing process went very smoothly. Questions and concerns were addressed promptly and efficiently."

Steve M
Manassas, VA


"We found some property we wanted to buy but we were leaving the country for a month. We were afraid that we would have to let it go because we couldn't arrange financing in time. Craig Strent and his associates went the extra mile for us working quickly so we could purchase it. The terms were favorable, the people all were very professional and we are very satisified."

Bernard & Rosemary C.
Alexandria, VA

"Thank you so much for helping me with my dream to buy a house in DC!!!I am so grateful and blessed to have met you. I appreciated everything, the e-mails, many calls, and especially meeting you at closing. Thank you for being there as well as throughout the entire process. "

Donna C

Shari D & Vince D.
Alexandria, VA

Lam & Adrienne N.
Sterling, VA


"Amazing! So Easy! Liked the mortgage mail feature. Closing attorney was very helpful and informative at Mid-Atlantic Settlements! Explained everything. You got better terms from B of A than I could get as a current, long time customer directly."

Shelby S.
Alexandria, VA

"Thanks to you and your staff for making this a very easy process to go through. I have refinanced several times in the past, and Apex has been by far the most pleasurable. I will certainly recommend your services to all my friends."

James & Gloria H.
Warrenton, VA

"We wanted to drop you a line to thank you and your very capable staff for the superb support extended to us. From the first phone call all the way to the closing of the loan everything was handled courteously and professionally. We were truly impressed with the speed and efficiency that your team exhibited in all phases of refinancing.

We appreciate the fact that we were able to contact you personally with questions and the timely responses that contributed to the smooth closing. We have no hesitation in recommending Apex Home Loans and your team to any and all our friends! Please convey our appreciation to you team members."

Sampath & Isabel K.
Springfield, VA


"We had the closing this morning, everything went well. Thanks again for making the whole process so smooth & efficient. We were very satisfied, and will surely recommend you if anyone asks us for a good mortgage broker."

Max & Leslie R.
McLean, VA

"We'd been putting off refinancing our home because of the somewhat complex circumstances and requirements we had, until our CPA recommended Apex. Not really expecting much, I gave Craig a call. And wow! In less than 2 weeks, we had the papers for a loan that met all our demands, and less than three weeks after that, we closed on our loan! It was the easiest, most hassle-free experience we've had in a long time. In an age where people wait 60-90 days to close, our experience was amazing-and, I dare say, pleasurable! We'd recommend Apex in a heartbeat -(in fact, we already have!)"

Frank & Nathalie C.
Washington, DC

"My loan process went very smoothly. I really liked the spreadsheets e-mailed to me with my refi options. I liked being kept informed every stop of the way too."

Melinda A.
Centreville, VA



"Craig was very helpful in advising us on the merits of the various loan options and very efficient in the processing of our loan, and our papers were some of the very few that actually came through for settlement on the day after the mother of all snowstorms!"

Peter & Laurie H.
Washington, DC



"I have used Apex Home Loans two times now: once to by my first home and once to refinance it. On both occasions, the service I received from Craig Strent was knowledgeable and prompt. Also, at each closing, the settlement officers commented on the excellent terms Apex secured on my behalf and they should know! Thanks Apex!"

William H. & Renee J.
Fairfax, VA

"From beginning to end, Craig and Curtis made this a painless process. They were with me every step of the way."

Debra D.
Washington, DC

"Craig, I very much appreciated your creativity with our loans and all of the work that went into making them work. We would not have been comfortable with any other person trying to put all this together in such a short time period. This was far less painful than I anticipated and you made it all seem relatively simple even when it was not. Thanks Again!!!"

Jennifer F. & James C.
Boyds, MD


"Craig listened to my needs and got me the best rates available. He calculated my total monthly payments so that I would know exactly how much I would pay. I felt confident buying my home and working with Apex Home Loans."

Jill M.
Rockville, MD

Charles F. & Susan R.
Silver Spring, MD

Tracy C.
Silver Spring, MD


"As usual things went smoothly and I had a minimum of anxiety in an otherwise stressful situation."

Michelle K.

Rosemary & Scott W.

"Craig, Tim and I just wanted to say thanks for your prompt and efficient service in helping us refinance our home loan.

Thanks Again."

Timothy S. & Pamela
S. Arlington, VA

"Thanks for everything. Your experience found the right program for us, your effort made the process easy, and your attitude made us feel appreciated. Well done."

Jackie & Kiernan O.

He was also able to process a number of changes to our loan days before closing due to the sale of our current residence. Apex was a pleasure to work with, Thank You!"

Eric & Annie B.
Herndon, VA


"Over the past couple of years we have twice used Apex to refinance our home mortgage. The fact that we used them twice speaks volumes about their competence and professionalism. Moreover, we would use them again and can easily encourage others to take advantage of their services and skills."

Walter & Joleen D.
Washington, D.C.



 

"I wanted to write to express my appreciation for your undaunted and congenial efforts during my recent refinancing. I am thrilled to finally be able to move forward from the miserable financial legacy my ex-husband left, and excited to begin a new chapter in life.
As a single, working mom of five, my daily life is always a juggling act, and I was concerned about adding more work to my already overloaded schedule by embarking on a refinance - often an onerous and time-intensive process. However, this experience proved that refinancing doesn't have to be difficult, or onerous at all, and it was an absolute pleasure to do business with you. I was impressed with your professionalism and attention to detail and the promptness with which you responded to my emails. In short, everything about this experience was totally positive, and I just feel so fortunate that Amy Ashworth had mentioned your firm's services to me many months ago! In fact, I am so appreciative, that I plan to pass your contact information on the person who helped me refinance eight years ago. When I called him for assistance this time, he made it clear that he was overloaded and didn't really want to put the time or effort in to help me refinance. Maybe he could send some more customers your way!
Please feel free to use me as a reference - I will be only too happy to verbalize what I have written in this letter. You are providing an awesome service, and I am sure that Apex Home Loans will continue to build on its record and go from strength to strength.
Thank you so much."

Caroline H.
Manassas, VA

"Craig Strent did an outstanding job during my loan process. I would not hesitate in recommending his services to anyone."

Jorge M. V.
Manassas, VA


"Overall my experience w/Craig Strent and my loan processing, from inquiry to settlement was virtually painless. I took out a 5 year arm which has it's pros and cons but, through conversations w/Craig I was able to make the right decision for me. Most helpful in the process was Craig's willingness to handle all of our correspondence vial e-mail, which was ultimately more convenient for me. (due to my busy schedule)."

Monirom S.
Silver Spring, MD


"My second encounter with Apex (a refinance) was terrific. Craig Strent once again handled my transaction with prompt attention, care, and thoughtfulness. His recommendation for an Arm 3-year loan was an excellent choice and resulted in the best option for refinancing. I can't say enough about my positive experience - twice!"

Tanya T.
Alexandria, VA

"Craig has once again performed on the highest level of professionalism in regards to my personal refinance. I have received Craig's help on other personal transactions and received the same professional service on all occasions. As a Real Estate professional I have and will continue to refer my personal friends and clients to Craig. In my business it is of great comfort to have someone like Craig Strent and Apex Home Loans to refer my business to and feel 100% Confident they will receive the service they expect and deserve."

Gordon C.

"Apex makes refinancing so easy that it is becoming a habit with me. I trust Craig Strent implicitly and know that if refinancing would not benefit me, he would tell me not to do it. It is a pleasure doing business with Apex."

Emily C.
Washington, DC


"Thanks so much for making a stressful situation go so painlessly. Craig always had time to answer my questions and patiently eased my stress."

Barbara M.
Arlington, VA

"The whole process was smooth and effortless; Craig was thorough in explaining all aspects of refinancing and patiently answered numerous phone calls to clarify a few issues. The rate watch program worked great. The rates we wanted were not available at the time we started the process. About 3 weeks later the rates dipped and we locked in over the phone. We closed in less than a month and we are saving close to $300 a month on our payment. We also set up a revolving home equity line for future needs at a fantastic rate. It was a pleasure working with Craig and Apex Home Loans."

Steven & Dianna H.

William B. & Shelly L.
Alexandria, VA

"Our experience with Apex Mortgage was stellar. We worked with Craig Strent, who always conducted himself with the utmost in professionalism and candor. Craig tells it like it is, which is appreciated. From the beginning of our relationship with Apex, we have received newsletters and helpful hints on the housing market and creative uses for home equity. Unlike other organizations that might encourage homeowners to take out the equity from their house to speculatively invest, Craig suggests using the equity for tax-saving debt reduction. He is an innovative mortgage broker. Instead of the easy route of using one 30-year fixed loan, Craig suggested we take a first and second mortgage to get the best possible rate on the whole package and avoid having to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI).

We would highly recommend Apex for other homeowners. As a matter of fact, we have recommended that several people contact Craig Strent for help with refinancing. At this writing, everyone has had the same experience we did and are happy we suggested that they contact Apex."

Denise & Arthur F.
Arlington, VA

"Craig Strent was the most professional and client service oriented mortgage broker I have worked with. In the past 20 years I have financed nine properties, and Craig is the best! I will recommend him and Apex without hesitation."

Michael K.

Charles & Barbara M.
Washington, DC


"I own three houses in the Washington DC area, and over the past twenty years I've been at the settlement table ten times. After two separate refinances, I'm sold on Apex. Craig asked for the usual information and I didn't hear back until my settlement was scheduled. Much better from the hassle of last minute request I've experienced in the past. I'm referring my daughter and son in law and anyone who ask to Craig and the staff at Apex Home Loans."

Edward E.
Silver Spring, MD

M. Constance F.
Centreville, VA

"Our refinancing process with Craig was speedy and indeed "hassle free." I expected a much larger paper burden - expecting to have to spend time gathering months worth of financial statements. I was thrilled that the process was much simpler than that. Craig answered all of our questions and instilled us with confidence that our loan would proceed smoothly. "

Marian & Derek V.

"Craig was extremely efficient and professional. He made the process of obtaining a mortgage the easiest part of the move."

Linda W.
Potomac, MD

"I cannot speak too highly enough of the refinancing advice and arrangements provided by Craig Strent at Apex Home Loans, Inc. I was referred to Mr. Strent in August 2001 for assistance in meeting a September deadline for refinancing a home that had been purchased as joint property. I had already consulted other loan companies whose terms for a No Doc loan were quite discouraging. In two days Mr. Strent had given me a much more satisfactory option. We met my deadline, and I was impressed throughout the transaction not only by Mr. Strent's accessibility, kindness and patience in answering my many questions and clearly explaining the loan terms and procedures, but also by the friendliness and efficiency of the rest of Apex's Staff. When we went to closing, I felt confident, informed, and lucky to have dealt with Mr. Strent. I look forward to further transactions with him and will definitely recommend him and Apex to my friends."

Wendy H.
Bethesda, MD

"We very much appreciated Craig's attitude and style of work. He was warm, engaging, and patient with our ignorance of US procedures and customs. His sense of humor did much to humanize the experience, but in no way distracted from his professionalism and efficiency. A rare blend of excellence."

Marcus & Courtney
Washington, DC


"We found Apex to be extremely helpful, professional and quick to respond to our questions. Information was provided as requested and presented in layman's terms for us to better understand. Our time spent with Mid-Atlantic for settlement went so smoothly and a few dilemmas were handled quickly and explained very well. We would highly recommend you."

Dana & Darren G.
Dumfries, VA


"I was very pleased with the work Apex did on my behalf. The worksheet they provided clearly spelled out where I was and where I could be financially. Apex personnel also followed up on a problem caused by another company, which saved me $500 - weeks after the closing! Apex went the extra mile for me and I appreciate it. Thanks."

Patrick C.
Washington, DC

Patricia & Raymond C.
Manassas, VA

 

"After pondering for over 5 months on when to refinance, Craig Strent provided us with a rate that we were satisfied with. Though we had considered others, it was the relationship that we had established with Craig from a previous loan, his expertise and most of all his patience. We decided to give them our business once again. We trusted Craig's judgment, advice and his ability to make the whole refinance "totally pain-free". Craig worked with us from start to finish. We also want to commend him for setting up one of the most enjoyable and convenient settlements we have ever had. For a positive and rewarding experience, we recommend Apex Home Loans and Craig Strent."

Michael & Juanetta P.

Ryan M.
Alexandria, VA


"Craig Strent and his team at Apex Home Loans were very helpful and customer oriented. We were always able to get a hold of Craig when we had questions. Craig was very prompt in returning calls, even when he was out of the office. Apex Home Loans has competitive rates and had some good ideas about how to structure our loan to save us money in the long term. My wife and I were purchasing our first home so it was important to us to have someone explain the process in detail. I was very pleased that Craig came to our closing personally to ensure that it went smooth. Craig and his team did a great job!"

Anthony & Robyn S.
Sterling, VA

"Craig Strent was absolutely superb during and after our home purchase. He was informed, helpful and willing to go the extra mile to make the process (complicated as we were abroad while trying to buy our house) as painless and easy as possible. He even managed to get us a lower rate than he had originally said. Home buying is not usually a great deal of fun, but he made it much, much better. We'd recommend him to anyone anytime."

The entire proceeding was virtually painless! I intend to refer others to Apex and its service. Thank you. The other company representatives associated with Apex were also very helpful and courteous."

Jo Ann W.
Washington, DC

"My friend had recommended Craig Strent to me. Although very busy he returned my phone calls usually very promptly. I saw Craig to be personable, courteous, informed and knowledgeable. He listened well and followed through. After a difficult divorce and living on a small income and partially paid alimony, this refinancing means I can now live better with my income. This is a big improvement in my lifestyle and a new beginning; I would certainly recommend Craig to others."

Glenis B.

"Dear Craig, I was really impressed with you work on our refinance. I did a lot of checking and your rate was the lowest by far. What I really like about working with you is your depth of knowledge and very rapid and thorough responses. You turned around the loan faster than anyone else ever proposed and you kept your word beautifully. I look forward to working with you again."

"I've had a wonderful experience dealing with Craig Strent of Apex Home Loans, Inc. Craig has been very helpful in helping me find the right loan, he's made sure I clearly understood all the options I had available to me, and he had kept me updated during each step of the loan approval process. He was present at closing to answer questions about my loan."

"Craig Strent and Apex Home Loans truly made the process of obtaining a home loan hassle free. Craig took the time to educate us, explaining every step of the process. He worked seamlessly with us and with our realtors. We always felt like Craig was on top of everything.

We enjoyed having Craig as our mortgage broker and highly recommend him."

"Craig Strent was recommended by my financial advisor. I had reviewed loan information from another company and Craig structured a new deal that worked better for me from a tax viewpoint AND resulted in lower monthly payments. I was not the only one who was impressed. Craig had to leave the settlement early, and when he was gone both Real Estate Brokers commented on what a good job he had done and what a pleasure it was working with him. I cannot recommend him highly enough - he is terrific!"

"My experience with Apex Home Loans and Vice President Craig Strent was outstanding. From the initial credit check to the final settlement meeting, Apex was with me all the way. As a first-time homebuyer, I was quite nervous about the whole process, but Craig guided me through a complicated closing with grace, professionalism, and incredible patience!"

"I was so impressed with Craig Strent when I bought my house last October that when rates were dropping I called him again. Again, he was terrific. He chose just the right moment to lock the new rate in with the end result being that not only do I save $125 a month on my payment, but benefit tax-wise. I can not recommend Craig Strent and Apex Home Loans enough."

Emily C.

"We went to settlement very quickly after our offer was accepted on our house and had little time to get all of our papers and records in order for the loan. Craig took care of everything for us - he kept in contact to make sure everything was in order so that we could get the best rate possible on our mortgage; he educated us on the pros an cons of different types of loans; and he coordinated everything with our realtor, settlement attorney, and insurance agent. The whole process couldn't have been any easier! We highly recommend Craig Strent and Apex Home Loans to anyone seeking financing - especially on jumbo mortgages."

We'd recommend him to friends and family."

"Thank you Craig for making a complicated, long-distance closing an overall very, very positive experience. I fully expected "a glitch" (because of all the difficulties that could have occurred). But, lo and behold, no glitches! Smooth sailing from start to finish. My sincere thanks and very best wishes to Apex!"

Lizabeth E.

"My story is probably very common, but also traumatizing. I found out that I have to pay Uncle Sam a boatload of money and of course, I have none. I was crying and telling my situation to my best friend. She immediately mentions Craig & how he helped her. The bottom line Craig called on Monday, March 13th, and I settled with a revolving home equity loan on March 30, 2000. (14 business days) This enables me to pay ALL my debt. I can't believe how quick it all happened.

I am committed to refer Craig to anyone I feel he can help. Craig Strent is a jewel. Thanks again Craig!!!"
