Real stories

From overwhelmed to homeowner.

"I had no idea where to start. First Street walked me through everything — I never felt stupid for asking questions. We closed in 45 days and I still can't believe I own a home."

Danielle R.

"As a first-time buyer, I was terrified of the process. They explained every document, every step. It felt like having a friend in the industry."

Marcus & Tanya W.

Ann Arbor, MI

"They found us a rate I didn't think was possible on our budget. Honest, patient, and genuinely excited for us. Couldn't recommend them more."

Worked with Kristen on my mortgage, she helped understand the process every step of the way and kept it simple. Helped me get the information I needed and we got my loan closed in 3 weeks. I already recommended her to my coworker and she raves about Kristen as well. Highly recommend!

If you're a veteran or active military member in the area I couldn't recommend using First Street Mortgage enough. Dealing with the VA can be difficult and FSM makes it incredibly painless. My agent, Kristin Morgan, was always available and worked around my busy schedule. Docs are easy to sign electronically and Kristin made everything easy to understand. 5/5 on availability, timeliness, professionalism, and efficiency.

Kristin was amazing! She worked at lightning speed to assist myself and my husband obtain our dream home! Once pre approval was obtained she kept in contact with me throughout the entire process until closing day. Additionally, she was able to put me in contact with an insurance agent that did significantly better in coverage for our new house. Thank you again for your dedication to excellent service and attention to detail. Every question was answered and every situation was anticipated. I can't imagine being in better hands!
