What Our Clients Say

  • Christopher Weiss

    Blane Stewart is AWESOME!

    From start to finish, Blane and his team at NFM Lending provided top-tier service. His proactive support made the entire home buying process smooth and stress-free. Blane’s helpful demeanor, clear communication, and deep knowledge of the mortgage process gave me confidence every step of the way.

    He was always one step ahead—answering questions before I even knew to ask them. It’s clear that he truly cares about his clients and works hard to ensure everything goes as planned. I couldn’t have asked for a better lending partner.

    Highly recommend!

  • Young Hee Byun

    I had a great experience working with Blane Stewart and his team at NFM Lending while buying a home in Charlottesville. From day one, they were clear, responsive, and patient—walking me through every step of the mortgage process and making sure I felt informed and confident.

    Even when unexpected changes came up, Blane handled them calmly and efficiently, keeping everything on track for a smooth closing. His local knowledge and attention to detail were incredibly reassuring.

    What really sets Blane apart is his follow-up. Even after closing, he and his team checked in, offered helpful tips, and made it clear that their support doesn’t end when the loan is finalized. It’s rare to find that kind of long-term care.

    I highly recommend Blane Stewart and the NFM Lending team to anyone buying in the Charlottesville area. They truly go above and beyond.

  • Matt Brinckman

    We have worked with Blane and his team for two mortgages and a refinance. They are efficient and thorough. Blane goes out of his way to be helpful, including advice and referrals for anything in the finance or real estate realm. I can’t wait to work with them again in the future.
