Partnership Program
What our Partners have to say about us: “The administrative support is great, willing to help out with projects on short notice. The Marketing is always there to help with very creative ideas and great customer service. First Choice is still a small enough company that each branch makes a difference in its overall success. I like knowing I can try something new or different and not have to deal with the corporate red tape. Having a funding company makes all the difference. We fund all of our conforming and some of our non-conforming with FCF. They are a great group to work with, always willing to get that last minute closing package out to the closer. Teaming with FCF sets us apart from the smaller broker shops that don't have a funding company. Lastly, the management team within First Choice Mortgage is highly respected in the industry. Becoming an FCM Partner has been a very positive experience for me, and my staff and I look forward to a very bright future with FCM.” -Dave Leeder, Branch Manager What makes First Choice Mortgage different?
