John and The Crivea Mortgage Group from First Home Equity Loans were amazing. I worked with Robert Balding here in Michigan to buy my first home and I would do it over and over again. He was there to help me with every question I had on Monday through Sunday. Alex, the processor, was awesome! If I were to buy another home or If I knew anyone close to me buying a home, I would refer them the the Crivea Mortgage group every time!

Paul is the best. Follows through and gets results!

Paul Ouellette is awesome I have done many deals with him it always goes smoothly and he is a pleasure to work with you won't be disappointed give him a call😁

Paul and the WHOLE ENTIRE First Home Equity Loans team is amazing! Each team member made me feel like I was important to them. I was going to work with Quicken Loans or my local credit union, but First Home Equity had lower rates, better service, and a personal touch no one could beat. The owner Todd Glassman also called me to congratulate me after closing, he is awesome. Thanks for everything! I would refer them to all my friends and family!

Great team of Mortgage brokers. I've worked with Paul Ouellette most recently and found the process to be both stressless and fun. My buyer client introduced me to Paul, and we've been friends and business colleagues since. As an agent that works with a lot of buyers, it's always a good idea to have some professional and hungry lenders in your scrolladex!

Paul and his team did an excellent job of helping my first time home buyers. He was thorough in his explanation of the process. He answered multiple calls from my buyers when they had questions. The process was very easy for them. He then went the extra miles and drove from SC to Mi for the closing. I will definitely send more of my buyers to him in the future. Thank you Paul.

Paul and his team were amazing to work with! Paul answered every question I had in the simplest terms possible. He never made me feel like I had a silly question or like i was bothering him. Paul and Torri were both helpful in breaking down the costs and what they meant. I will definitely work with them again in the future if the need arises!

A joy to work with. Made accessing bank information as easy as possible. Walked us thru the process with support & respect.

Paul was very good to work with, he did an excellent job of keeping things on track, highly recommended to do business with!

John Crivea is the consummate professional. I've worked with him for many years, and his service has consistently been five stars plus. I highly recommend him, and I could not ask to work with a more qualified and knowledgeable loan officer. With all the new regulations, it's imperative you find a loan officer who can help you navigate through the many channels of the lending process. John's the one!

Absolutely the best team out there! Paul Oulette did an amazing job helping me buy my home! Crazy low rate of only 2.63 and quickest close turnaround I’ve ever heard of. Just 14 days and we were off to the races!! Can’t recommend First Home Equity enough!! You won’t find anyone better!!

Craig Fowler was awesome to work with during my refinance process and was there to keep me informed and assisted me every step of the way.

Craig did an amazing job! He truly makes a commitment to his clients and is willing to go the extra mile to get the deal done.

John and his team did an excellent job at communicating with me through the entire process. Him and his staff are friendly and professional. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to work with a solid group of professionals.

First class company. Made the experience fast and easy walked us thru every step of the process. Explained everything in detail to us and got us a great Rate. Will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking to buy a house or refinance. Thank you so much First Home Equity Loans

The First Home Equity Loans team is very professional. They answered all my questions and go above and beyond. The best rates in the business. Keep up the good work!

If you want to get into your dream home they will make it happen! Todd & Craig are the absolute best, they will do whatever they possibly can to give you the best experience & only looking out for your best interest! They’re amazing! 👏🏻💁🏻‍♀️

I have to admit, I was skeptical at first going with a mortgage broker for my first home. John Crivea turned me into a believer in less than 30 days. We closed on time and we were blown away with the interest rate John locked in for us. I really appreciated working with somebody who was an advisor first and foremost instead of trying to bleed us out of every last dollar. John and his team are attentive and know finance and the stock market extremely well. Even in a busy market, John took the time to call and assuage any of our concerns as closing neared. Would 100% refer anybody in the market for a new house to John and the team over at First Home Equity Loans!

Paul Ouellette meticulously guided us through the process of Purchasing our Home! We felt more than comfortable with Paul, as he answered our every question along the way. Paul delivered on his word, in a super quick time frame! We HIGHLY recommend his services for any of your lending needs!

I refinanced my mortgage with Paul Ouellette. Paul was a pleasure to work with, I received a great rate and the entire process was seamless and hassle free. He constantly followed up and delivered on all promises. I’d recommend Paul and First Home Equity to friends, family, anyone. Would not hesitate to use their services again.

John was great to work with, as was his team. They moved everything through quickly and efficiently.

They took really good care of us, will refer my friends and family

First home equity did an incredible job of getting an approval of a mortgage for us. I have multiple corporate entries and a previous mortgage broker did not have the ability to understand the interactions of the different entities!!! John took the time to understand and know how to present it to the mortgage company. He was able to get a timely approval and closing for us. The previous broker did not have the ability to understand how to present the application!!! I would highly recommend First home equity to anyone looking for a knowledgeable mortgage broker!!!

I approached first home equity with the intent to refinance my home. I was referred to one of their awesome loan officers. After a short phone call I set up a meeting to discuss my options. I was blown away by how helpful this gentleman was. Long story short and another visit that required a few documents to sign. I walked out with the best experience possible and a smile on my face. Thank you!

As most, I was nervous to do an equity line and refinance my home after being in it for 10 years! But Paul O. made it extremely easy and was very thorough in explaining each step along the way. The process was extremely fast as well. Highly recommend Paul if you’re deciding to refinance or do an equity line!!

Paul Ouellette was our loan officer for our house. He was very professional and worked with me through the whole process. I was a first time buyer, young, and had no credit to begin with. He helped me as I established my credit and jumped through all the hoops with me. I’d say my situation was pretty difficult and unique. If it weren’t for Paul and First Home Equity, I don’t know how long it would’ve taken for us to buy a house.

John Crivea is awesome! He went above and beyond to help us purchase our home last year and also just helped us refinance! I highly recommend John and his team!!

John definitely went above and beyond as a lender for my buyers. Throughout a complicated and lengthy loan process John was very professional and consistently communicated with me and our clients. Ultimately this allowed for a successful closing and happy clients! I would definitely work with him again as he has set the bar very high for me and my buyers.

Don’t waste time with banks and credit unions that give you a hard time - call Craig immediately. He is funny, knowledgeable, and keeps his word. After searching for more than a year I called Craig and he assured me that he could get me into a home. We closed last month.

Craig and Todd are very responsive to our needs as Realtors and we can trust them to do what's right for our clients. Our clients think they are miracle workers! Thanks!!

Absolutely the easiest process from loan pre approval to closing I have ever experienced. Less then 30 days from start to finish. Wow!!! John Crivea III is the best mortgage specialist I have ever dealt with. He is the consummate professional but extremely personable. Hats off to Todd Glassman for putting great people around him. I have already referred friends of mine to them and will continue to do so. I highly recommend you use them.

Craig was an absolute pleasure to deal with from begining to end. He answered all my questions and was available by phone more than he needed to be (I had a lot of questions) I would suggest anyone looking for an honest and personable company to give First Home Equity a call. I would use them again in the future if ever needed.

Hi energy, quick responses, clients first approach and huge hearts! I will continue to send you guys business!!! Cate

My agent Craig was outstanding. Always quick to respond and available for questions. He helped me understand and feel comfortable every step of the way in my home buying process, and the rate I got was better than i could have hoped for. Going to recommend him to everyone I know.

Craig Fowler is fantastic! He went Over and beyond for me and my family. He was very professional and stayed on top of everything during the loan process. I would definitely use Craig again and would recommend to anyone looking to get a loan. Craig is the man!!!

Craig Fowler was our broker in this loan application process, and he made sure we were comfortable with each and every step of the loan application - thank you, you made it very easy for us!

Craig Fowler is the absolute best hands down. He has gone above and beyond helping us and always answering all of our questions quickly. Thanks Craig!

Craig is the best!!! Always available to me when I needed him and helped me through the entire process of buying my first home. Would use him again and again. Highly recommended.

I met Todd years ago when I thought I was ready to purchase a home but really I wasnt! I had such a great experience with being pre-qualified the first go round that I made sure to call First Home Equity when I was ready 5 years later. I was still given great service. This time I worked with Craig Fowler. He is one of the nicest, down to earth guy you will ever meet! I was pre-qualified and approved to purchase my home within one day! He helped with homeowners insurance and helped understand the home buying process. I would definitely recommend Craig if you are a 1st time home buyer.

Craig did a great job helping us with our loan and when the sellers needed a quick closing he was quick to get everything together. Thank you!

Craig Fowler worked diligently to get my First Time Homebuyers prequalified so they could make an offer on a home they feel in love with. The sellers needed a fast close since they were buying another house and Craig was able to accommodate a short closing window. He kept us up to date with the status of the loan process. I will be recommending him to other buyers.

Todd and his group of loan officers do a fantastic job in originating loans and getting borrowers into their dream homes. i would highly recommend them!!!

Todd and his team at First Home Equity Loans have been a pleasure to do business with over the last 6 years. When I was a start up business Todd and his team gave me a chance to work with their hard earned clients. I highly recommend this company and Todd.
