Erick and Betty P. thank
Austin for his hard work
Betty P., PA
My husband and I are so grateful that we had the pleasure to work with Austin, I have never dealt with a professional person as he was to us. He was so pleasant , guided us through every process, that we needed to complete before the loan would go through, and then get the appraisal done, he was there for every step, we have never had a person like Austin to help us like he did, he worked so hard on our account, even if we had any question after closing during the week, and on weekends he was there, amazing personality. We just wanted to voice our appreciation for Austin Clayton, and to let you all know, what kind of a Mortgage Analyst you have working for you.. My husband and I would defiantly recommend Austin and Reliance First Capital. Again, thank you Austin, you’re the best…

Donna Titone and Tammy Kaur showcase flowers their customer
sent in appreciation for their efforts
Donald S., MA
I would like to express my appreciation for working with Donna Titone as my primary point of contact through my recent refinancing with Reliance First Capital. Donna is a consummate professional who was of great assistance throughout the process. She possesses what I call real-time communications skills and dedication, always available, on-point and very responsive. As with most refinancing processes, there were myriad underwriting demands and information corrections and research items along the way. Despite any administrative challenges, Donna was always straight forward, knowledgeable and focused on a successful outcome. When I became frustrated with multiple underwriting requests and near ready to pull the plug, she was encouraging and assisted in keeping things on track. I would recommend her without reservation to others, and am confident she will build a strong career with your or any organization.

Ritu Sethi and a special thank you sent to her by Yveline in appreciation
Yveline L., MD
Ritu is beyond "EXCEPTIONAL" from the start to finish she exhibits an unprecedented professionalism. She went above and beyond the call of duty. "Your attitude will determine your altitude". She has the A T T I T U D E and there is no scale to measure that. Well done! Keep up the good work.

We are a repeat customer. This time, we were fortunate to work with Nick Eberwein. He was personable, professional, patient and knowledgeable. He looked for all options to fit our needs and made us feel like people instead of numbers. The process was so easy and quick. From working with Nick, to the processor Roberta, to the notary, every interaction was exceptional. Nick is a true asset to this team and represents this company well. We will refer all family and friends to him in future, as well as any future mortgage needs ourselves.
Graig E. - FL

Amazing service and personable! From start to finish Donna was a pleasure to work with. Her expertise and personable nature made working with her very easy. There were never too many questions or second thoughts given she worked through them all with me to make sure the most suitable decision would be made for my circumstances. Her quick response time and prioritizing of clients to close sets her apart from most other lenders. We closed much sooner than expected all thanks to her and the team. I would highly recommend her if looking for a fast, knowledgeable and personable Mortgage Analyst.

From application to closing, Nicholas kept the entire process running smoothly. His communication was prompt, accurate, and consistently proactive. What could have been stressful ended up being smooth—and even enjoyable. Our loan closed within 30 days, and we couldn't have asked for a more efficient experience. We highly recommend Nicholas for all your lending needs.

Richard was extremely helpful and supportive throughout the process of refinancing our home mortgage. He checked in often to make sure we were okay and to answer any questions we had and made something that would usually be a very stressful endeavor into an easy one. We can't thank him enough!
Vikki S. - NJ
Applying for a mortgage is often a stressful situation. I am a worry wart but Garrick was able to quell my anxiety. After our first encounter I knew that Garrick is an experienced, capable loan officer. Initially, I emphasized my appreciation of frequent communication. Realizing my need to stay informed, Garrick provided frequent emails, texts and phone calls to update the status of my loan. He was also readily available to answer any questions that I had. The process was flawless because of the sincere interest and due diligence Garrick and his team devoted to my loan application. Trustworthy, personable, and knowledgeable, Garrick Castro is a true asset to the lending industry.

Desmond N. - NY
Our experience with Reliance First Capital was a good one. We were searching for a company to help us reach our financial goals. We randomly called this company from an advertisement before we were ready to commit and Nicholas answered the call. He was warm and personable. We Were able to talk and get to know each other and he got to know what we wanted and what we needed to do. When we were ready about 6 months later, he stood out to us more than all the other sales people from various companies because we felt like we knew him and he knew us and he did not hound us like the others. Nick was able to do what other representatives from other companies told could not be done. He did the research, he waited patiently for us to be ready. He helped us to meet our financial goals with ease and we are grateful.
Christine R. - NY
Marc provided exceptional service. He went above and beyond. I remembered on one occasion Marc was ill and out of the office, but he still kept me updated on a daily basis answering my questions and making me feel at ease during the process. He was very attentive, personal and anticipated very move to facilitate getting the documents. Thank you Marc!
Kelly H. - TN
Tyanna was very professional in her job.
Chelisse R. - VA
Best mortgage lending experience! Anthony was excellent to work with while we were refinancing our mortgage. He was consistent with his check ins, providing us with all new information every step of the way! He was great to work with and exceptionally knowledgeable about the process! Our mortgage was tailored to our financial needs and he provided fantastic explanations for all of the options available to us! What I appreciated the most was the detailed and specific plan that he created just for us. It was not a cookie cutter lending experience, and I really appreciate all of the care that went into providing us with the best formula for our financial needs. We are so very excited to continue to work with Tony and to see what kinds of opportunities are available to us in the future! Thank you so much!! I had an amazing experience working with Tony to help us refinance our mortgage! He was exceptionally knowledgeable and very detailed in his work with us. I really appreciated the consistent updates that allowed us to stay on top of every single step in the process! What we really truly appreciated the most, however, is the personalized mortgage. We did not get a cookie cutter loan, instead Tony tailored our refinance specifically to our financial needs and our life long financial goals. We will be working with Tony from now on and we will go nowhere else! Thank you so much for your all of your help, we look forward to seeing what the future holds!
Sammy C. - NY
She's the best. My experience working with Donna to refinance my home was a pleasant experience from beginning to end. Her knowledge, professionalism, attention to detail, and pleasant demeanor put me at ease immediately. I felt like I was a priority and the constant communication and quick responses to all my concerns was something I had never experienced from any financial institution I've ever dealt with. Donna certainly goes the extra mile, provides first class service, makes you feel like you are her best friend, and well, the best there is. I can't thank her enough, she made a normally difficult situation move along smoothly, keeping me informed and getting it done! Thank you again Donna!
David F. - SC

Kenneth B. - PA
It was an excellent experience working with Nicholas! He was able to answer all of our questions! The process went smooth and Nicholas kept in touch with us every step of the way, with weekly updates. I would highly recommend him!
Jim S. - OH
First, I would like to thank Tyanna and Carolyn for all their help in securing my refi to a VA loan. They were both easy to reach by phone and extremely helpful. Other loan sources had a minimum amount of an existing loan amount before they would even talk to your, since my loan debit amount was low they weren't' any help. Using Reliance First Capital I was able to pay off all my credit cards and cash out some of my equity. I would highly recommend these people This has really changed my life.
Jim B. - DE
Top notch professional service. From my first contact with this company their loan officer, Mark, had been a real pleasure to work with. Responsive and truly available at any time and day of the week, whether at work other home he always responded to me promptly...knowledgeable...professional..courtesy and pleasure to talk to. My refinance process was easy and I was kept apprised of its status. Highly recommend Reliance First Capital for future financing.
Mark S. - NY
Mark was great to work with. He was patient with me as I took pictures of the documents he needed. He answered all of my questions.
Jessica G. - NC
Richard helped us with refinancing our mortgage and was extremely supportive and committed to making this a stress-free experience.

Elizabeth S. - IN
In April 2025, I was online looking to begin the refinance process through Lending Tree. I did receive a number of calls right away, but one person in particular, Tracey from Reliance First Capital, 1) called 2) texted and 3) e-mailed and basically put herself to the front of the line and I related to her right away because I'm quite persistent myself (something that would prove to be very valuable in this process). Tracey immediately felt very comfortable to talk with, she explained the process well and we began gathering documents and starting the journey. My previous mortgage was through the USDA and they became the most unbelievable source of contention. As Tracey said, 'government should not be in business'. A refinance can get pretty detailed, laborious and time consuming, but at no point would I admit defeat, through all the hoops and delays, through a government shutdown, through a job loss, through two appraisals with corresponding repairs, through improving my credit score, and the loooooonnnggg wait for the USDA to do pretty much anything and waiting for their customer service department to answer their phone (hold times could be anywhere from 10 to 90 minutes or more), but we pressed on. We were on the verge of closing several times, but then something would cause the bottom would drop out. Tracey became my best cheerleader throughout the entire process, as well as a friend. She had much to deal with in her life, including personal health trials, that anyone from the outside looking in would not believe her stamina and her drive to help me (and I'm sure many others) out. At some point we saw the light ... you know, the one that you never thought would come. I hopped on it, she jumped on it and we almost didn't make it this last time, but it finally happened. Happy happy joy joy!! The closing occurred in the last week of January 2026. I became just as much of the process in dealing with the USDA, and I wasn't about to let them bury me. Noooo way! Today, I am in so much a better financial position than I ever could have dreamed of. The right mortgage (also rolled in my car loan and HELOC), and some cash. I was able to help family members out, I now have an emergency fund and peace of mind. Tracey kept me informed every step of the way. She knows her job and could do it blindfolded, but the important difference was, it never felt mechanical. She truly cares about people. I wanted to also give a special shout-out to Anzhela, the behind the scenes mortgage processor that was a true professional with patience (I think, however, all three of us wanted to shake our fists at the USDA, but we prevailed and won.) If you ever become involved with Reliance First Capital, know that you will be cared for by a group of amazing professionals that get up and do their job every single day. They take pride in their work, and they do it well. I'm sending them two dozen of my *world famous* bacon cherry chocolate caramel cookies in thanks, because I will be eternally grateful for what they did. They are my refinance people for life. Even when interest rates go down, they'll be popping back up and getting this done again to help save me some money. Thank you to everyone there; you guys are the best!!! Anzhela was at the same level of excellent service as my mortgage analyst Tracey! Just like me, they forged on and never gave up, even through trials with the USDA. They were professional, tenacious, accurate and prompt.

Great loan experience. Working with Paul and Amy at Reliance First Capital on my loan has been one of the more pleasant experiences I’ve had when dealing with financial institutions.

Keep doing exactly what you're doing. We had no concerns. We were very happy with the entire outcome and we look forward to doing business with you again and we will let all of our friends and relatives know that we trust y'all and we are very satisfied with every step of the way so thank you for giving us the loan and thank you for starting our new year in such a wonderful Way. God bless. Phillip explained every step, reassured me that he was legal, gave me all his information so I could look them up made me feel very at home. I have never done anything like this over the phone. He was very experienced and he if he didn't know an answer he made sure he found out for me, called me directly back with the answers and reassured me and every step and if it wasn't for him, I don't think I would've done this long so a big star rising star is due to Phillips. He's awesome thank you for everyone in this company. He did an awesome job. I will be happy to refer anyone that I know I'm not sure right now who would be interested because I've been sick with the flu, but even though Philip was sick himself with the flu he still provided me with everything we needed to feel comfortable with going on with this long, so thank you. Have a wonderful year and look forward to my referrals.

Anita O. - GA
Safe secure beginnings! Months ago I sought out lenders to assist with a home loan. A rep from Reliance First Capital LLC responded, at that time Donna was in kind of a second-string position. Under fairly disappointing circumstances I wasn't ready to advance. Several months later, Donna calls with solutions for all my excuses. Under such confident reassurance, her tenacity was unbelievable. Although skeptical and a bit pessimistic, I agreed. This professional hard-working expedient intelligent woman guided me to the finish, plowing through every task, be it her teammate or her own, total hands into and on every component of the process, while conquering all my doubts, having me open my heart to trust her with full faith. I don't trust anyone but The Most High, she wasn't worried about her personal gains. She specified what was needed, did the most proficient job I've witnessed in a very long time, I wish she had been my realtor when I bought this house initially. I have no regrets for taking the step forward. She set me up to win again in my life. I feel indebted to her for treating me like a human being rather than a calculation. The best part is, the monthly amount I pay is five hundred dollars less, all debts including my 2024 F-150 is paid in full. I don't know who without hitting the Powerball, could do better. I've already recommended her to my air conditioner installer. And I will continue to promote her in any way I can. A real-time earth angel, walking among us. Grateful she thought to follow up the same way she follows through.
