Why Choose a Licensed
Loan Officer

Many homebuyers start their search with attractive offers from small, non‑licensed “loan officers.” While the deals may look good upfront, this path is risky—and often expensive. Without proper licensing, there’s no guarantee of adherence to ethical standards, transparent disclosures, or accountability. If anything goes wrong, there are few protections and no regulation.

In contrast, choosing a licensed loan officer like Arlene Dean provides peace of mind and safeguards your investment. Arlene holds state licenses in both Maryland and Virginia—providing the level of expertise every homebuyer deserves. With over 20 years of experience guiding first-time buyers, VA borrowers, and beyond, she delivers expert advice tailored to your situation. She hosts local homebuyer workshops, offers responsive communication, and builds relationships—not just transactions.

Real clients praise her clarity, speed, and integrity. When issues arise, buyers know they can escalate through First Home Mortgage or state authorities. Don’t risk your dream by choosing an unlicensed path. Trust in proven expertise—trust Arlene Dean.
