When we finally found the house that we wanted, we had a very narrow window to close on it. We called First Ohio and they were able to get us from application to close in less than two weeks.

It was important for us to know that we were getting the best closing costs and the best rates there were. First Ohio was the company for us. They came back clearly and quickly about what they could do for us.

Exceptional! After briefly researching my refinance options, I decided to go with First Ohio Home Finance, which proved to be an excellent decision. I worked with Frank Dean, who was responsive, professional, and transparent throughout the process. Because of him, I understood my options and what was happening every step of the way. I can’t thank and recommend him enough.

“Stress free Refi!

The process was very quick yet everything was explained to us. The closing was on the day we were told it would be, and we are very happy with our new rate.”

Marvin, Home Owner

First Ohio Home Finance understands what it means to meet the contract deadlines outlined and takes the initiative to educate our clients about the process and what to expect.”
Rick Rano, Realtor
“First Ohio Home Finance has helped me with the purchase of two homes and a refinance in 2013 to the lowest rate I have seen on a 15 year mortgage. I couldn’t be happier with our experience from the initial meeting through closing. Kemp, Tony and John have been great resources I would recommend to anyone.”
Jason and Melissa Buehner
“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for all of your assistance in getting my loan completed.

My particular situation had some obstacles that you handled with both professionalism and care. You did not judge and helped walk me through the process making it less stressful and an overall pleasant experience. When other banking institutions were dismissing my inquiries, your willingness to step up and take the extra time needed to help get me approved is truly appreciated.

I will not hesitate to forward your information to anyone needing assistance with a home loan and you will be my first call for any future home loan needs I might have.

You were a pleasure to work with and I am truly grateful. ”

Debbra Warden
“The First Ohio Finance team has always provided excellent service to my clients, family and friends since I met Tony and John in 2002. I am always happy with the level of communication throughout the process. Several clients have been repeat customers (myself included) through new home purchases or refinancing. I feel confident referring anyone to First Ohio shopping for a loan, home purchase, mortgage refinance or access to equity in a home.”
Jason Buehner, Certified Financial Planner
“Dear First Ohio Operations Team,

I just want to say Thank You! I have now had the pleasure of dealing with other lenders on this new closing disclosure, and your office, by far, has been the best to work with and the most knowledgeable on how it works. It sure does make the whole process much easier!! I wish I could do all my closings with you. Thanks for making the difficult adjustment to the new processes so smooth.”

“I just want to take a moment to truly thank you for helping us with our home loan. My husband and I have come so far in the past 5 years and owning a home together was always a goal and a dream. You made the process so convenient by being able to meet after hours and also by having someone on standby to re-print and rush correct paperwork at signing!! You were always available for a text or phone call through stressful times and you were just an overall joy to work with. Thank you so much for helping to make our family whole in our own place. ”

I would definitely recommend First Ohio Home Finance to anyone looking to refinance their home.”

John, Home Purchaser
I was really scared to buy a new house; so much to take in! Todd Davis made the mortgage application process so easy and then continued to educate me every step of the way. He even came to my closing to cheer me over the finish line! The entire experience was seamless because Todd was on top of every detail from beginning to end! I have already told everyone I know how great the experience was with Todd and First Ohio. I cannot thank you enough. I appreciate every person at First Ohio who got me to the finish line!
