I have done several loans with 1st Florida Mortgage over the years. They have always been upfront on required documents, fees, interest rates, and closing dates. Their communication was fantastic and their process easy. I hope I never buy another house, but if my wife makes me, I wouldn't use anybody else!!!!

1st Florida Mortgage (Sean Dulac) was the best-from the first phone call and I can honestly say there will be no last phone call-when he asked for docs I delivered and when I asked for something (answers) he delivered-very happy with the process he took my husband and I through and we are now blessed to own our dream home -I’ve already referred him To our son and he will be ready to purchase probably in the next six months and told him that Sean Dulac is the man!!
