Full-Service Mortgage Origination
Mortgage Services
I've been a licensed mortgage broker since 1985, working with a range of mortgage wholesalers to find the best loan product for your specific needs. I originate Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, HELOCs, and 2nd mortgages for all property types, including single-family homes, condos, villas, manufactured homes, 2–4 unit properties, and accessory dwelling units—whether owner-occupied, second homes, or investment properties.
In addition to loan origination, I specialize in down payment assistance programs, guidance on student loan repayment options, and credit support (not credit repair).
My #1 Specialty
Down Payment Assistance
More and more prospective homebuyers find themselves short on funds needed to purchase a home. The variety of DPA funds available can help clients whether they are first time homebuyers or not, for all property types and with payments most often deferred making affordability possible.
I also have proprietary DPA programs available through wholesalers that provide enhanced criteria.
Special Programs Available
First Time Home Buyer
There are specific FTHB conventional mortgage products with both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that only require a 3% down payment and can offer a lower rate and/or lower PMI with a good credit score.
The Freddie Mac Borrow Smart is a grant that can even be used to lower the rate for qualified Affordable mortgage clients.

Refinancing & HELOC
Borrowers refinance for two primary reasons:
- Lower the interest rate and monthly payment
- Cash out equity for home improvements or other needs
Sometimes refinancing saves significant money, but sometimes a HELOC or 2nd mortgage is the better option. I'll help you determine which path makes the most financial sense for your situation.

Multi-Family Mortgages
2–4 unit multi-family residential mortgages are available for duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes. Owner-occupants can live in one unit and rent the others, using rental income to help qualify for the mortgage.
Multi-family properties are eligible for conventional, FHA, and down payment assistance programs, making them an excellent path to homeownership and investment income.

USDA loans offer zero-down financing for eligible rural and suburban properties. If you're purchasing in a qualifying area, USDA loans can be an excellent way to buy a home with no down payment required.
