“Steve’s commitment and work ethic are second to none. It was quite refreshing to work with Steve and his team who embodies superior quality, effective and responsive communication, and a genuine commitment to provide the best customer service. They went above and beyond to get us the best rate possible! I can honestly say our home purchase would not have been possible without Steve and his team’s work! Thank you so much!”

-SHAWN (SPRINGFIELD, VA)

“I have worked in financial services for more than 25 years, and am a graduate of the USMA @ West Point ’87.   Many fellow veterans, colleagues and classmates told me that it was impossible to “win” a contract in this crazy real estate market with a VA loan.  That’s simply not true.  At least it’s not true if you are working with Steve Trautwein and his team at Intercoastal Mortgage.   We were up against more than a dozen other offers, and won with our VA loan.  I “shopped” other lenders, and none could compete with my 2.25%.”

-STEVE N. (FULTON, MD)

“Steve was the absolute best. It’s an incredibly competitive a market right now and he was an integral part of my “team.” Through the whole home buying process Steve was a highly valued contributor and helped make what could have been a stressful process much less painful. I like Steve so much that I hope I get a couple more raises so that he can do a mortgage for me on a future vacation house!”

-PETER (POTOMAC, MD)

“The insight and guidance we received from Steve and his team was invaluable to our refinancing experience.
