VA Loans: Exclusive benefits for veterans, active-duty military, and their families—including $0 down payments and no mortgage insurance.
No Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Unlike other loans, VA loans don’t require PMI, saving borrowers hundreds of dollars monthly.
No Prepayment Penalty: Pay off your mortgage early without worrying about extra fees.
Funding Fee Flexibility: While VA loans have a funding fee, it can often be rolled into the loan, keeping upfront costs low.
Access to Equity: VA Cash-Out Refinancing allows you to access up to 100% of your home’s equity, perfect for debt consolidation, home improvements, or other goals.
Support for Disabled Veterans: Disabled Veterans may qualify for waived funding fees, increasing their savings even further.

No matter your situation or goals, I’ve got the perfect program for you.
Fill out my quick 60-second survey, and we’ll find the best program tailored to your needs.
Should I talk to a realtor or get approved first?
Always start with me, Robert, Why? You need to know exactly what loan program you qualify for and the payment you’re comfortable with before house hunting.
Realtors won’t take you shopping without a pre-approval letter—they want to know you’re serious and financially ready. And here’s the thing: even if you go to a realtor first, they’ll send you right back to a mortgage advisor like me.
Save yourself the extra step and start with me so we can figure out your budget, lock in the best program, and get you ready to shop stress-free.
Do you have realtors to refer me to once I’m qualified?
Absolutely! If you don’t already have an agent, I can recommend a couple of experienced agents in your area. These referrals are to help you find someone who matches your personality, communication style, and specific needs.
It’s important that you feel comfortable and confident with your realtor, so you’ll have the chance to see if they’re the right fit for you. Think of me as your real estate matchmaker—I’ll connect you with someone who has your back, just like I do.
How does the $250 offer work? And are you really paying out of pocket?
Yes, I’m paying out of my own personal pocket—no gimmicks. This rebate goes towards $250 your closing costs.
Think of it as my way of making your homeownership journey a little easier and more affordable. By covering these fees, I’m helping to reduce the upfront costs of buying or refinancing your home so you can focus on what really matters—getting into your dream home or saving money on your current home.
What if I don’t have a down payment?
Good news! As a first-time homebuyer—or even if you haven’t purchased a home in the last three years—you might qualify for $0 down payment programs.
From USDA loans to specialized grants, there’s likely a path forward for you. Let’s explore the possibilities together and get you into your new home without breaking the bank.
Do you really work with over 200 lenders?
You bet I do! As a broker, I partner with 200+ lenders, giving me access to programs for almost any situation. Plus, I make them compete for your business, which means better rates and terms for you.
It’s like having a whole team of lenders working to win you over, all while I guide you through the process.
What if I get denied?
Hey, it happens. But don’t worry—I’m not here to toss you into the woods and leave you to figure things out alone. If a denial happens, I’ll create a personalized roadmap with clear steps and a timeline to help you qualify in the future.
Whether it takes six months or five years, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. We’re in this together.
Can I still qualify if I’m self-employed?
Of course! I specialize in programs designed for self-employed borrowers. From bank statement loans to no-doc options, there’s likely a solution that works for you. Let’s make your entrepreneurial success work in your favor.
Will you help me compare rates?
Absolutely! Because I work with so many lenders, I’ll present you with the best options tailored to your goals. I don’t just find you a rate—I find you the right rate, ensuring it fits your financial needs and long-term plans.
Does the $250 offer apply to refinances or just home purchases?
Great question! This offer applies to both home purchases and refinances. Whether you’re buying your dream home or saving money through a refinance, I’ll personally cover $250 towards closing fees to reduce your closing costs.
And if you know someone who could benefit from this savings—whether they’re buying or refinancing—send them my way. I’d love to help them too!
No matter your situation, I’m here to make the process easier and more affordable for everyone.
Got more questions?
Fill out my quick, 60-second quiz to get started, or reach out however you prefer. Call, text, or chat—I’m here to make the process as smooth and fun as possible. It’s all about your style of communication, and I’m here for it!

How does the $1,095 offer work? And are you really paying out of pocket?
Yes, I’m paying the full $1,095 out of my own personal pocket—no gimmicks. This rebate directly covers $595 in processing fees and $500 in admin fees, which every other loan officer or lender will charge you as part of your closing costs.
