There are lots of fine folks who work in the mortgage industry, and most everyone has a family member or friend they want to refer you to. Then there are those who are the best of the best, and who back up their reputation with excellent service and a deep knowledge of the industry and market in which they operate. Stuart Epstein and his team at George Mason Mortgage are simply the best of the best. Do shop around for a great rate, but then make your final stop Stuart Epstein. He's truly the best.

Recently used GMM for my new house. I worked with Jason, who I cannot say enough positive things about. Easy to reach, enough people on his team to keep things moving smoothly without getting so overwhelming I don't know how to reach out to with specific questions. Jason stayed up late one night as well to handle an issue that suddenly cropped up on my end, and I was blown away by his commitment. Also should mention, as with many mortgage lenders, GMM as a company sells your loan off to someone else within a month or so. I won't say who is servicing my loan now, but I was happy to find out they had a good reputation and modern web interface for online payments. In summary: I highly recommend George Mason Mortgage, and especially Jason's team.

We had a great experience working with George Mason Mortgage and Jason Lerner. Jason and his team were prompt with all communication regarding our loan which was great because we had a quick turnaround for a closing date. We appreciated the professionalism, communication and promptness during the home buying process!

Our experience with Tom McLister at GMM was phenomenal. As first time home buyers, we had so many questions and we weren't sure where to even begin. Tom took the time to explain every step of the process and its importance and also made sure we had a great understanding of every single piece of the mortgage puzzle! Getting our first mortgage felt daunting at first, but Tom always eased our worries and broke down the finances in ways that were clear, accurate, and easy for us to follow. He was incredibly responsive to our texts, emails, and phone calls and he always made us feel like he was on our side and had our best interest at heart. He was patient with us as we searched for our first home and was incredibly swift at helping us secure our first contract and close within 30 days (with an amazing rate)! Tom did an excellent job managing our mortgage and making sure everything ran smoothly. We knew we were in great hands with Tom and we are so grateful for his knowledge and expe

I applied with George Mason after receiving an email from Stuart reaching out because I was apart of a Live Baltimore class. I was eager to apply as he mentioned in his email that he was familiar with all the first-time home buyers opportunities in Maryland. I submitted my application on 07/15/2020 and still haven't heard back from him. His "client care coordinator" Jen reached out to me to let me know that Stuart had my information and had many other pre-approvals to review but he didn't forget about me. It's been over a month and still nothing. Guess I didn't fit their type of client.
