5 Stars – Amazing Experience with Josh Herr at First Rate Mortgage!**

I had the pleasure of working with Josh Herr at First Rate Mortgage, and I can't recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, Josh made the entire home-buying process smooth and stress-free. He took the time to explain every step of the process to both me and my partner, ensuring we understood everything along the way. No question was too small, and he was always available, day or night, to offer guidance or answer any concerns.

What really stood out was how comfortable and assured Josh made us feel throughout the process. He didn’t just help with the logistics—he made sure we were confident in our decisions and fully informed every step of the way. On top of that, he was proactive in checking in and following up, which made us feel truly supported.

If you're looking for a mortgage broker who goes above and beyond, Josh is your guy!

First Rate Financial is amazing! From our 1st home in Alaska 5 years ago…to our new “forever” home. The team is professional, follows up and communicates often, and uses technology to drive success. The process was easy…the team provided true partnership.

Slavik and his team are amazing, I will continue to refer my close family and friends to them. Ro, Christina, and Jo make every transaction smooth and the entire team works to explain the process to the client. I am very grateful that I can refer them to my clients and know they will have the best lending experience! Thank you First Rate for all that you do!

First rate's fantastic team made a long process feel easy. Sierra and Amanda were wonderful to work with. Quick communication, very responsive, outlined each step of the process and worked with us patiently through paperwork delays. Very grateful for all the hard work they did for us, and their diligence allowed us to close early on our beautiful home. Would recommend to anyone.

They were super accommodating to every request I asked of them and their communication was very prompt. They really take pride in their work and they were very helpful at every step of the process. I would recommend Barclay and his team to anyone seeking a home loan!

Kristen Brown's team at First Rate Financial is absolutely amazing! From start to finish, they made the entire lending process smooth and stress-free. Ashley, her assistant, was awesome—always friendly, organized, and quick to respond to any questions I had. Danielle, the loan processor, was equally incredible, keeping everything on track and communicating every step of the way.

Kristen Brown is hands down the best lender in Alaska. Her team’s professionalism, kindness, and clear communication made the experience outstanding. I highly recommend working with them!
