    John was on the ball with the entire process. Easy to get ahold of, quick responses and was very thorough answering all my questions. He made my first home buying experience enjoyable with minimal stress. I feel like it was a personalized experience...

    We had an atypical application process because I was self-employed. Ed Mermolia helped us successfully navigate through a challenging underwriting process caused the Covid pandemic. Ed's experience helped us immensely during the entire process....

    I love how Janet worked with me on submitting non electronic form data! I didn't have to leave my house or miss any work time to complete the refinance. Closing paperwork was brought to my house for signatures. Thanks for everything!

    John was very informative and clear on explaining everything without making us feel like we were unprepared for not knowing the lingo. There wasn't pressure to get things we didn't need or that it was his way or the highway. He gave us information...

    It was great working with John. His honesty is what we appreciated most as he was always realistic with our goals. He let us know what we needed to do to have the smoothest process. Would highly recommend!

    About
    In 1997, John Walsh started a mortgage company. It was a simple enough decision on its face—after years in the industry, he had the experience, the know-how, and a briefcase full of big ideas. Over the next decade, his company grew from a tiny 3 person shop to a national lender. And when the housing crisis leveled the mortgage industry in 2007, Total Mortgage was one of the few lenders to survive intact. We owe that to a single choice John had made years earlier, as other lenders were making a killing putting borrowers in homes they would never be able to pay for, signing off on the very deals that would lead to the recession. We would only offer people the loans we knew they could afford.
