Eddie and Simone were awesome to deal with. The entire process was handled professionally and smoothly. I can honestly say that this was the first time that I have purchased a property where the transaction was handled without a lot of drama. This is the 7th property I have acquired where there was a mortgage involved and it has been by far the best experience yet. The design of the workflow, communication and the speed of the transaction is the way all mortgage applications should be done. My only wish would be to allow a drag and drop interface on the website instead of an upload process. Other than that the whole experience was top notch and I highly recommend this team for mortgage origination.

Excellent Company! I was looking for a Jumbo Loan and didn’t want to put 20% down, I found a lot of lenders offering 10% down payment and then I found First Florida offering 5% Down. I must Say I got a GREAT Rate with no monthly mortgage insurance and we closed in 30 days! Thanks so Much!!

Eddie and Simone, his assistant, did a great job in helping me secure the financing I needed on my debt consolidation loan for all the credit cards balances I had rung up renovating the home I purchased for my retirement. it’s was quite a big endeavor, particularly since I was already turned down by a vendor who I had been associated with for 30 years and trusted.. Will needless to say I’m not with that vendor any longer and have even moved my auto insurance from them and saved $100 a month as well on auto insurance as well.. win-win for me. Thanks, Eddie you ARE the Man and I HIGHLY recommend him and his staff for all your financing needs.

Eddie and his team did a fantastic job. I had a very complicated file and the team communicated thoroughly throughout the entire process and came up with solutions when others could not. With a complex file and a relatively quick closing, the team effort to push my closing across the finish line went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Eddie and his team and plan to use them again on future purchases.

I want to thank the entire team for getting us Thru the VA home loan process. Your E Zip Mortgage online system made it smooth and EASY.
Being a return customer for the second time, Says it all! We will always highly recommend your company. Thanks

Eddie and his team did an excellent job preparing and guiding me through the application process. It was quick and painless compared to the many other mortgages I have applied for in the past. Thank you for the wonderful service.

Words cannot describe how grateful we are for Eddie Hoskins and his team. My family and I have recently relocated to FL from Mi. My husband just started a new job and we hit a roadblock with the financing. I called First Florida Financial Group as my last hope. Which I would like to add I should have called them FIRST. Eddie and Simone were wonderful to work with. Their E ZIP Mortgage online software they use to obtain all the paperwork is simple and easy to operate. The real-time text/email loan updates are amazing. Definitely kept my mind at ease during the process. Thank you again, Eddie and Simone for making this all happen.

Eddie and the First Florida Financial team were nothing short of outstanding! This was, by far, the most straightforward, professional mortgage loan process we have ever experienced.  Eddie has an amazing “can do” approach, is completely focused on success and finding solutions to any obstacles in the path to expeditiously closing … on schedule! It was a real pleasure working with Eddie, Simone and the First Florida team. They made it very clear, right from the start of the process, that they were working for you, every step of the way. And that feeling of support is exactly what we experienced throughout the process … extremely impressive.
I would wholeheartedly recommend Eddie and his team to anyone looking to complete the mortgage loan process quickly and efficiently … these guys are great!!

Eddie, I wanted to refinance my beach condo to get away from the ARM but I was having difficulty finding a lender who would do a conventional mortgage because someone at some point had classified my condo as a “condotel”. I was referred to Eddie Hoskins by a local realtor. I am very happy to say that the refinancing is now complete – I am done with the ARM – and I couldn’t be more pleased. Eddie and his assistant, Simone, were great to work with – professional and thorough. While it is never a pleasant endeavor to garner together all the documents needed for a mortgage application, the process they use to download and review the documents made it seem so easy. All in all, this was one of the best experiences I have ever had obtaining a mortgage loan. Other loan officers could take lessons from Eddie and his team.

Eddie was my hero throughout the home buying process. I had a somewhat complicated situation, and he made the loan possible where others couldn’t. The E ZIP process was fast and easy. We closed on time (within 30 days) where other companies couldn’t. He even created an innovative loan package to allow me to avoid PMI. The real estate agent and title company were very impressed with this. His communication was excellent, and he and his assistant Simone were patient with my millions of questions. I will recommend them to anyone!

Thank you,  Eddie Hoskins and his dedicated and skillful staff were able to make the impossible possible! I will honestly say that he is the most competent and knowledgeable loan officer that I have ever worked with. This purchase would not have happened without you!

Thank you!

I can’t thank Eddie Hoskins and his staff enough. I had a tricky situation… I had a purchase & sale agreement to buy a condo in Florida and I just fired My mortgage company. I was in another state 1500 miles away and I had a short timetable running up against the Christmas holidays. With a non-traditional income stream, and a boatload of obstacles to overcome. Eddie and His team went to work!! They worked tirelessly knocking down obstacle after obstacle, from the Condo association, Income questions.. Ect… You name it!! Eddie and His staff were in daily contact, keeping my Wife and I informed of requests and requirements to keep the process moving forward. He also gave us recommendations for a quality home appraiser. He never gave up on us!! In the end, Eddie was able to deliver. Five days before Christmas We closed the sale!! On time with no surprises!! I highly recommend this team!! Thanks again, Eddie!! You made the impossible look easy!! From now on You will be my first stop!! Happy New Year !!
