Before mortgages, I built and ran multiple businesses from the ground up. I know what it's like to take a big financial leap and hope everything works out. That experience shapes how I work with clients today: I'm direct, I'm responsive, and I don't leave you wondering what's going on.
When I'm not helping clients, you'll find me on the pickleball court, at the golf course, or spending time with my kids. I'm based in Virginia and work with buyers across the state.
Call me, text me, email me — I respond the same day. You won't be left wondering where your loan stands.
I'll explain everything in terms that actually make sense — no jargon, no confusing acronyms, no surprises.
I'll help you find the right loan for your situation — not just the one that's easiest for me to close.
I've built businesses and know how to solve problems fast. I bring that same energy to every deal.
From first call to closing day, here's what to expect.
We'll talk about your goals, timeline, and budget — no commitment, just clarity.
I'll get you a pre-approval letter so you can shop with confidence and make strong offers.
Work with your agent to find the right place. I'll be on standby for any financing questions.
I'll guide you through underwriting, handle the paperwork, and get you to the closing table.
Get a quick estimate of your monthly payment.
It depends on the loan type. Some programs allow as little as 3% down (conventional) or even 0% (VA loans for veterans). We'll find the best option for your situation.
Most conventional loans require a 620+ score, while FHA loans can go as low as 580. Even if your score isn't perfect, there are often options — let's talk about where you're at.
Typically 30-45 days from application to closing, though it can be faster with quick document turnaround. I'll keep you updated every step of the way.
Pre-qualification is a quick estimate based on what you tell me. Pre-approval involves verifying your income and credit — it carries more weight with sellers and shows you're serious.
It depends on how long you plan to stay in the home. I'll run the numbers with you and show you exactly when paying points makes sense vs. keeping cash in your pocket.
Usually: 2 years of tax returns, recent pay stubs, bank statements, and ID. Self-employed? We'll need profit & loss statements too. I'll send you a full checklist once we get started.
Let's talk about your goals and get you on the path to homeownership.
