Client Rating

I've been an entrepreneur my whole life — and now I'm putting that energy into helping people buy homes.

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.

Common Questions

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.
