HomeGrown Mortgage - Madison, Connecticut

Ian Salmon

When my wife and I wanted to buy our first house we were scared to death of meeting with lenders. We felt overwhelmed and uneducated about things like the current interest rates, how much we would need for a down-payment, appraisal gap coverage for bidding, insurance, etc. But, after our first meeting with Eric at HomeGrown Mortgage we knew that we had gone to the right place. Eric is so much more than a lender. He has lived on the shoreline his whole life and when you work with him you gain access to all of that experience! He gave us a full education and with that knowledge we felt empowered to make our own decisions about how to use our money. He showed us that we were actually in much better shape than we realized! While we were bidding, Eric was ALWAYS quick to respond to messages and provide up-to-date information on market rates, locations, and (most importantly) our budget. When we had an offer accepted, Eric communicated with our realtor and attorney with such an ease that it seemed like they were all working in the same office. We felt like we had a whole team behind us and all we needed to do was show up for the closing.

I love buying things from big-box stores. I don't even mind the occasional chain restaurant. But, we will always stay local when it comes to our money. When you work with Eric at HomeGrown Mortgage you are in the hands of someone that has a love for his community and its people. He will not steer you wrong.

Thanks Eric from the Salmon family!

Eric was amazing to work with. Supportive, knowledgeable, and quick to communicate. Eric always went the extra mile during the home buying process. He always made sure we understood what was going on every step of the way. Would recommend him again and again.

Eric and his team at HomeGrown Mortgage were informative, helpful, proactive and supportive during the entire home buying experience. This is our second home purchase but our first time using HomeGrown Mortgage. This current purchase was exponentially better than our previous one. Eric answered all of our questions and gave honest feedback throughout the process. I highly recommend Eric and HomeGrown Mortgage!!

Eric is amazing!! I recently refinanced with Eric and it was as smooth and stress free as sitting enjoying an espresso martini. He and his team are incredibly professional along with being very transparent. They never once gave me false information and set a true and realistic timeline for my closing. I was also approved in less then 3 days!! I highly recommend them, but even more so Eric. He definitely knows his industry and for sure will work to get the job done.

Eric with HomeGrown Mortgage made the mortgage process so simple and stress free! I had reached out several times over the years and every time he was accommodating and understanding to my needs and concerns. He always took the time out of his day to answer any questions and give advice. Finally after several years I finally made the step and am beyond glad I worked with Eric and HomeGrown for my mortgage!
