About First Portland:
President's Message

A Message from the President:

Thank you for contacting First Portland Mortgage through the World Wide Web!

We established our Web site in the hopes of making it easier for consumers to reach an informed decision about mortgages in general and about First Portland as a mortgage lender in particular! Without the right knowledge, obtaining a mortgage becomes an incredibly daunting endeavor. The mortgage industry is currently undergoing major changes in the way a borrower can obtain a mortgage.

With the advent of the computer age, technology is paving the way towards faster and less restrictive lending practices. First Portland Mortgage is embracing this new technology in order to provide the best possible service for our customers. We hope you are as excited about the possibilities as we are.

Please see the section How We Do Business to learn more about our unique and innovative business practices. Our commitment to provide the best possible service and the lowest rates for an educated consumer, is reflected not only in our embrace of the latest technology, but also in our unique recognition of you, the borrower, as the prime focus of customer service. Our competitors still rely primarily on the Realtor, who actually represents the seller adversary in the home purchase transaction, to provide buyer referrals and then reward those Realtors with misguided loyalty and customer service.

Just as the mortgage industry is undergoing rapid change, the real estate industry has experienced the single most significant change of the century in the way a real estate agency is conducted. The advent of Exclusive Buyer Brokerage is revolutionizing how real estate is transacted in that for the first time, you, the home buying consumer, can obtain 100% loyal representation from a real estate agent who works 100% exclusively with buyers, thus removing any conflicts of interest and questionable legal, economic, and ethical behavior.

At First Portland Mortgage we welcome this change and encourage our clients to seek exclusive buyer broker representation. We are pleased to provide these links to the only exclusive buyer broker agency in Southern Maine: Buyer's Resource Real Estate of Greater Portland, ME, and in New Hampshire- Buyer's Resource, Dover, Concord, New London, and Portsmouth, so that you can obtain further information.

First Portland Mortgage does business throughout the entire states of Maine and New Hampshire. Please enjoy your perusal of our Web site and with our compliments become an educated consumer better able to make informed choices. We look forward to being of service in meeting your mortgage needs.

Sincerely,

Eduard P. van Loenen
President
