Kate Westerlund - Loan Officer (NMLS # 1894140) - First Home Mortgage 11000 Broken Land Parkway, Columbia, MD 21044

"After our first meeting with Kate, I was much more comfortable knowing we wouldn't have to figure out all of the financing details ourselves. She laid out the steps for the pre approval so well, making an arduous and painful task of document wrangling really smooth, and easy. Each time she needed something from us, she communicated clearly and concisely, so we were never left wondering what she was asking. This made the pre approval process go soo quickly. As we dove into house hunting with our agent - Kate was super available to run estimated numbers for the houses we were considering, and just overall available at all times. After we chose our house, Kate & her team stepped in so quickly with a numbered and detailed list of the next steps to make sure everything moved as quickly as possible - and we closed 3 weeks later (but thanks to Kate and team, we were finished with all of OUR tasks after only 2 weeks!). Then we eagerly awaited closing - and we are now moved into our first home. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience with this big milestone. I highly recommend Kate & her team!"

"Kate is exceptional! She guided us through the entire process with expertise and professionalism, ensuring we got the best possible terms. Kate and Kate's teams' responsiveness and dedication and open communication throughout the made our home buying experience as smooth and stress-free as it could be."

"Kate Westerlund is an absolute Rockstar! She is not only an expert in her craft, but her energy is unmatched! She has made the lending process as smooth as possible for both myself and my buyer clients. 10/10 recommend working with Kate!"

"Kate is a GEM! I've known her for about 12 years from our college years, and I've followed her journey of being a loan officer on social media. She is a wealth of knowledge and provides a lot of good info through social media that I have gleaned from. I knew for a while that she would be the one I'd reach out to when I was ready to buy a house. She recommended the PERFECT realtor (Elisabeth Yeager). Kate has a phenomenal team! They all are super detailed/organized, send emails that are helpful to understand what you are signing, and have flawless communication. It was a matter of weeks from when we found the house we love to settlement day. We paid thousands less than expected and walked into instant equity....who doesn't love that! There was absolute no stress! 100% x a million recommend working with Kate!"

"Kate is the most creative loan officer I know. Not only does she provide amazing customer service, but she has intimate knowledge of multiple loan products which allows her to personalize your loan to your exact financial needs. She saves you time and money with her expertise and on top of that she is a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Kate for your mortgage needs."
