Working with Mike Bendebba and his team at Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation was an outstanding experience from start to finish. Buying a home in a competitive market like Old Town Alexandria can be stressful, especially on a tight timeline, but Mike’s mastery of VA loans and proactive approach made the entire financing process seamless.
From pre-approval through underwriting, Mike and his loan assistant, Patricia Arnold, were remarkably responsive, thorough, and always two steps ahead. They communicated clearly at every stage, kept everything moving without a hitch, and had us Clear to Close well ahead of our closing date. Mike also coordinated effortlessly with our real estate agent, Liz Hart, so the entire team stayed aligned from contract to settlement.
If you are looking for a lender in Northern Virginia—particularly if you are using a VA loan—you will not find a sharper, faster, or more reliable team than Mike Bendebba and Fairway. Highest possible recommendation.
