Absolutely wonderful experience. Ryan Hall (and team) have gone above and beyond at every point. He's responded quickly, explained clearly, and even managed to get us pre-approved when a competing lender couldn't. Ryan is easy to talk to and a joy to work with. Definitely will recommend this office any chance I get.

We worked with Brian Hall to get our mortgage and it was beyond my expectations! We originally had gotten a preapproval amount and interest rate quote from another lender; our realtor Brian Mchone had recommended First Residential Mortgage to us, but I didn't think we would get a lower interest offer. Ryan reached out to me with an interest offer a whole percent lower than we were quoted from the other company! That difference was enough that when we found our dream home, we were able to get our offer in and keep our monthly payment within our budget!A LOT of paperwork was required to be submitted, but it was well worth it! Ryan was available every step of the way if I had questions or clarifications. He and my realtor communicated flawlessly and the whole experience felt well handled.We were able to submit all of this online and it was very easy to use the online submissions. My husband is a veteran and we used the VA Home Loan, Ryan was well versed in working with the VA Home Loan service.All and all, I can not say enough good things about First Residential Mortgage and Ryan Hall made the stressful experience of buying a home a much easier one!

My husband and I worked with Ryan on securing a mortgage as we bought our first home. Ryan was helpful and would answer our questions promptly and used videos and screen sharing to make sure everything was clear. We had shopped around at a few different mortgage and First Residential Mortgage offered the best rate to us. I would definitely recommend using First Residential Mortgage.

Ryan and the folks at First Residential Mortgage made the process of refinancing our home seamless and quick. Took less than 30 days from the time someone recommended me to Ryan’s team to closing. The application process was easy, Ryan looked out for us all along the way and got us a great interest rate, and we were able to pay off a $30k car while maintaining almost the exact same monthly mortgage payment we had been making previously. Can’t say enough good things about them!

Ryan was very professional, yet very responsive to our questions as we moved forward through the process of signing documents. Ryan makes these video where he explains what is happening and what to expect that made it easy the home loan understand.Ryan's insight on how to approach the sellers with our offer and make it more attractive were invaluable.I highly recommend Ryan for all Veterans and others seeking a loan professional's help. You won't be disappointed. Thanks again Ryan.

I purchased a duplex investment property with the help of First Residential Mortgage. The process was quick and easy and if I had any questions the team in Blacksburg was quick to help. When I was searching for the best interest rate Ryan was by far the lowest even in a very competitive/busy market.I will be using First Residential Mortgage again on future investment properties as well as personal residence. I highly recommend giving them a call!

Do yourself a favor and refinance with First Residential Mortgage, and with Ryan’s help! My fiancé and I had so many questions, concerns, and last minute changes and Ryan was adaptive and helpful with quite literally every single thing. This whole process seemed grueling at first and I was worried to even start, but everything went so smoothly and we are saving a substantial amount of money! We are so thankful we did this.

First Residential Mortgage, specifically, Ryan Hall has been absolutely great to work with. I worked with him to purchase using my VA benefits and again to refinance while rates were low and both times it was seamless. Great communication and follow up from this team. I not only recommend them but I will continue to go through them for any future property purchase.

My husband and I initially worked with Ryan Hall when trying to purchase our first home a couple years ago. Honestly, we were a bit clueless to the process and had a ton (honestly a ton) of questions throughout the process. Ryan routinely ran numbers for us to give us an estimate on how much our payment would be for different houses. Ryan was ALWAYS kind and quickly responsive. We ended up searching for a home much more distant from our initial area of interest, but Ryan was still able to work with us, which was great. As we went through the buying process, he kept us and our realtor with updates on where we were in the process. He did so well with it that even our well-experienced realtor was impressed by his great communication. Our buying process was really easy (after finding the right house), and we attribute most of that to Ryan and his team. In the process, Ryan sends videos that explain your documentation to make sure you understand everything. Again, super helpful for a first time buyer that didn’t know much. He even reached out to us recently to discuss the option of refinancing due to a huge decrease in mortgage rates. It always felt like Ryan had our best interest in the process and was so patient with us. We would highly recommend Ryan!

Our experience with Ryan Hall was back in March with the purchase of our first home. Ryan made the process easy and painless. Most of our communication was via phone/email, which was conducive to our work schedules. A portion of our experience occurred while Ryan was on vacation. However, this didn't prevent him from staying in touch with us and even making phone calls and sending texts throughout the day. Ryan was overall very accommodating and always willing and able to answer all of our questions. He was continuously supportive and knowledgeable.UPDATE: 2nd time using Ryan. Always helpful and super responsive!

After purchasing our house a year ago and working with Ryan and his team at First Residential Mortgage, the time came to refinance with the drop in interest rates. Ryan quickly answered my questions and provided advice on the best route for me to take based on my goals. Ryan and his team made the process simple and kept me well informed for each step. I especially liked the ease of uploading documents and the video emails from Ryan explaining the loan financials step by step. The process from start to finish was extremely fast and I was kept updated each step of the way. I have recommended Ryan and his team to others and would continue to do so for anyone looking to buy or refinance a home right now.

We just completed our home loan with First Residential Mortgage, and the entire process was excellent! Ryan Hall went above and beyond to keep us informed every step of the way, providing detailed and pertinent answers to all our questions, regular status updates, and easily completed electronic documentation. Additionally, Mr. Hall was available via email and phone when we needed him - which was not always during normal business hours. We would highly recommend First Residential to anyone looking for financing to purchase a home, and would not hesitate to use them again in the future.Update - 16 April 2020Once again we went with First Residential Mortgage, this time for a ReFi. The process was painless, and as before Ryan was extremely helpful - making the whole effort a piece of cake! From start to finish roughly 30 days to cut our interest significantly. A hearty Thank You to Ryan and the whole team at First Residential! I highly recommend them!

Working w/ Ryan/FRM and doing the majority of the refi online was quick and relatively painless.

As first time home buyers, we had several questions through out the home buying process. Ryan was very helpful with his timely responses to our questions and any updates along the way. His team at First Residential Mortgage is very knowledgable and helped us understand different terms and documents used in the process. He even made and sent out a video explaining the steps in the process specifically for our application, which says more about their dedication to help.

We just bought our first home through First Residential Mortgage and had an excellent experience! Ryan Hall guided us through the process and answered all of my (many) questions about loan structure options and down-the-line benefits and consequences. He spent time making sure we were knowledgeable about our options, and happy with our final decisions.Everything was completed on time (no extensions to our closing date were necessary) and he always responded to questions or document submissions within 24 hours! During the process, he kept us updated by sending out a table with each task completed and required. This allowed us to feel like we were in the loop, even throughout the complex loan acquiring process. We will highly recommend Ryan, and First Residential Mortgage to our friends in the future.

We had a very good experience with Ryan- My husband was eligible for a Veterans Mortage, but we ran into problems going through Navy Federal Credit Union even though he had banked with them for years. We wasted 2 weeks trying to get it settled, then were referred to Ryan (thanks to James Nolen of ReMax) . Ryan got it sorted out in less than hour and we still closed on the due date. We were very happy with his service, and he answered all our questions, no matter what time we called.

Ryan Hall is outstanding! We live 3.5 hours from Blacksburg where he helped us obtain a mortgage for a rental property. Ryan was the only one of 4 mortgage brokers we asked who would take the time to review our finances and make it all happen. Great communicator, patient, very organized and on the ball. Will definitely use him again in the future. I highly recommend you take advantage of his superior customer service.

Ryan Hall has been an outstanding resource for me in the lending world. He has done several mortgages for me; both residential and investment. If you want a lender who will answer the phone every time you call, then look no further. His company does an outstanding job of keeping you apprised of where things are throughout the process. It's nice not to have to wonder what's going on!I would and do recommend him to anyone who needs a home or investment loan. Top notch service and professionalism at it's finest.. ×
