We hope your holiday is merry, bright and most importantly, filled with joy!
As 2020 comes to an end and we celebrate the holidays the best we can, we wanted to bring some joy to a few local families who have experienced some tough times this year. When loan officer, Maureen, brought up the idea our team was eager to give back to our community and we planned our gift. We found two families that we were able to help with food, gifts, and gift cards.
We are grateful that we were able to spread a little holiday cheer and to see the smiles brought to their faces. During a time when some are feeling extra stress, we encourage you to find a way to spread that Christmas spirit!

We hope your year is already off to a great start and you enjoy a year of blessings and cheer!
Happy New Year!

"As an expat investor, I knew it would be difficult to get a loan. Chris was one of the few lenders flexible enough to take on the challenge. I appreciated how available he was - whenever I called, he was happy to spend as much time as I needed explaining things. I also liked his informational videos once we entered each phase of the loan process."

Great job, Hayden!
"We worked with Chris Wharton at 1st Ohio Home Finance to purchase several investment properties in Dayton, Middletown, and Franklin OH. Given the size of the portfolio, we were pleasantly surprised that closing was as smooth as any single transaction we had in the past on previous homes with other lenders in various parts of the country. He and his team are responsive, professional, and go above and beyond for their clients. I absolutely recommend Chris. We look forward to working with him again very soon."
