THE REVIEWS ARE IN…
We had an excellent experience working with Blake Hyatt from Direct Mortgage Loans (DML). As first-time homebuyers, we had very little idea of what to expect when navigating the loan process, but Blake made it so much easier.
He was friendly, easy to talk to, and incredibly responsive—answering our questions at all times of the day. He took the time to explain loan estimates and the entire mortgage process in a way that made sense, which was a huge help in reducing the stress of buying a home. More importantly, he didn’t just process our loan; he actively worked on our behalf, advocating for us and ensuring all the numbers were accurate, especially when dealing with the title company.
The mortgage process can be overwhelming, but Blake’s professionalism, knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile made a big difference. I’d highly recommend Blake and DML to friends, family, or anyone looking for a loan officer who truly has their best interests in mind.

Victoria is one of my preferred lenders because she always keeps me updated throughout the transaction and is a great problem solver. Her customer service always makes me look good as a realtor, looking forward to partnering with her with an investor because her knowledge and the products DML provides are first class!
Blake and his team were great! We were dealing with a difficult seller and were behind on some of the items needed for the mortgage. We finally got the last items fulfilled 2 days before the scheduled settlement and were able to close on time thanks to Blake and DML's hard work. Would totally recommend them!
Blake and Justin are both very responsive and helpful people to work with. Both of them do a great job explaining the mortgage process and financial picture for the loan you are taking on. They care a lot about making sure you are informed and getting the best possible rate.
Donny was an immense help with securing my mortgage. For a first time home buyer with LOTS of anxiety, he took the time to explain things and answered any and all questions I had during the entire process. Thank you so much!!
The team was highly professional and responsive. They continue to check in with us and make sure that everything was running smoothly along the way. I also greatly appreciated that they were proactive in making sure that we got the best interest rate available. I would 100% recommend them.
The best financing team I have ever worked with! Every one of them did oustanding work. They were professional, courteous, thorough, and patient. Blake went above and beyond the call of duty! So glad my realtor recommended him and his team!
Ms. Menne was very helpful and clarified any and all questions/concerns in a timely manner.
Absolutely genuinely feel like Blake is the best. At one point in the process, we did have an issue and both Blake and Justin were super available and really helpful making everything easy to understand. Could not have gone smoother, and would really be happy to give the team 11/10!
DML made the entire process of getting a mortgage as easy as possible! Justin, Vinny and the whole team were very helpful, friendly, and responsive!!

Blake and his entire team were GREAT to work with. Extremely professional and always available to answer questions. This was my first time buying a home, so I had a lot of things I was unsure about. Blake always took the time to talk to me about anything I wanted to know and didn't talk down to me. I would highly recommend him and his team.
Shout out to Blake and his team for helping me close a SECOND time. They made the process and loan application smooth and effortless. I appreciated the effort they put in me as first time home buyer and now even more as a second time home owner. Thanks so much for all that you do !!
We were referred by the Waldner Winters Team of Keller Williams Realty Center and worked with Victoria through the entirety of our home buying process. She was incredibly responsive, happy to answer questions via text, or hop on a quick call to review anything needed. Additionally, the online portal where all the documents were kept and signed was easy to use and navigate during the entire process. When we did make an offer that was accepted, Victoria picked up the call from the seller's realtor late on a Saturday evening to confirm we were a serious offer and it was accepted the next morning. Thank you Victoria and DML team!
Responsive, concise, professional, and friendly are the best ways to truly describe our experience with this talented team. Their availability throughout all of this was one of the main reasons why this process was so smooth throughout. Blake, Justin, Francesca, and Vinny were all extremely helpful right from the get go, and made something that might seem daunting, fairly easy. They were extremely informative and could not come any more highly recommended. This is probably one of the best teams out there to get this job done. We are so thankful for Blake and this amazing team.
Blake and his team do a great job of getting the deal to the finish line! Excellent communication and overall just a very smooth process start to finish.
Everyone was friendly and energetic! They took the time to answer all of our questions throughout the process! Thank you!
Very well organized and structured, conditions list was extremely light. Blake and his entire team did a fantastic job!
Great working with Blake and his team. He is always available to answer any questions or concerns we had. We heard that this process can be very overwhelming but thanks to Blake and his team they made the whole process quite easy and relaxed. Hope to have the similar experience throughout the loan life cycle.
When presenting this challenge to them of a quick closing, they were more then willing to help us out. We were able to close in just over two weeks, with barely a hiccup. As a first time home buyer, I was expecting this process to be grueling and hard but it was the easiest and most simple process. Anything I needed weekday or weekend, I was able to receive a timely response. I'm truly in awe of how amazing everyone was and how friendly they were. I would recommend Blake's team to anyone and everyone trying to obtain a home loan. We cannot say enough good things about their hard work and resilience. It was an honor to work with them.
Blake and his team really streamlined the home buying process. They communicated well, explained things when I had questions, and managed expectations along the way. This was incredibly helpful since I was buying from our of state before moving.
Francesca is fabulous, she wants the best for her clients and their families. She is thorough, and walks you through the process easily. I could not recommend her enough!
Victoria and the team at Direct Mortgage Loans of Maryland was not only great to work with but also incredibly efficient. Victoria demonstrated a remarkable level of expertise, guiding us through the process with ease and confidence. She answered all of our questions thoroughly and provided insightful advice along the way. If you're in the market for a mortgage and want a team that is fast, competent, and committed to getting you the best deal possible, look no further than Direct Mortgage Loans of Maryland. They truly exceeded our expectations, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone in need of mortgage assistance.
Responsiveness of the team was much appreciated through the process. We were impressed by the quick turnaround, a week and a half to close the loan!
The stereotype of the home buying process being difficult and stressful couldn’t have been less true working with DML. The process was made easy as Vic and Justin walked me through every step of the process with simplicity. 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
Blake and his team made the mortgage process such a great experience for me. I am a first-time homebuyer, and had many questions before, during, and after the home purchase. Blake did an amazing job of taking time to answer all of my questions and was gracious and friendly when I would call with (sometimes repetitive) questions.
Justin was also excellent about making sure I had all the documents I needed, and again answering MANY questions throughout.
The whole team was kind and willing to help and made my experience pretty simple and stress-free. I would recommend them to anyone, especially first-time buyers!

I’ve worked with Victoria Menne of The Hyatt Team on numerous occasions, and she simply just “gets it.” Top tier communicator. She goes much beyond industry standards for her clients. Highly recommend using Victoria as your lender.

I was very nervous coming into the process of buying our first home. But Blake and his team made me feel confident through the process, always answered my questions and picked up my calls always no matter if it was over the weekend. I'm the type of person who always expects the worst and God knows I bother them so much. 🙂
But they made these experiences unbelievably pleasant. We are one happy family 🙂

Brennan & the whole Hyatt Team at DML made purchasing our new house a breeze. No hiccups at all and always someone there to answer questions or explain things to us. Cant recommend them enough!
Great experience with Blake, Justin and Team! Process was smooth and all transactions went off without a hitch! When I'm in the market for another mortgage I'll certainly be using them again.
Our experience with the whole Hyatt team has been tremendous. As we were starting the process, Blake was willing to work with our schedule and took all the time we needed to explain different loan options and figures for our house search. He reached out and followed up many times to make sure we were comfortable with everything. As we narrowed things down, everyone on the team including Justin and Francesca especially were super communicative and helpful to get us through the entire buying experience. Highly recommend!!
