How it works

Four steps, no pressure.

  1. Tell us the goal

    Use the finder above or just call. Buying, refinancing, pulling cash out: start there.

  2. We look at the whole picture

    Income, savings, credit, debts and the property all shape your options. Documents go only through the secure application.

  3. We shop and compare

    We price your loan with several lenders and lay out payment, cash to close and fees side by side.

  4. We see it through

    If you go ahead, we work through the underwriter's questions with you and explain the closing numbers. The lender makes the final decision.

Bank, online lender or broker?

Each can be the right call. A broker's edge is choice: we shop several lenders for you, and explain why one loan fits better than another.

How we're paid. On almost every loan, the lender pays us, not you. You'll see exactly how we're paid on your Closing Disclosure. Some loans are borrower-paid instead. Your Loan Estimate shows origination charges and any lender credits so you can compare costs.

David has been amazing to work with! He completely explained the whole process in and out and made me feel so knowledgeable regarding home buying. He took the time to explain all my options and provided recommendations that best suited my needs. His expertise, care, responsiveness, and dedication has made the home buying process so much less stressful. He was there every step of the way and went above and beyond in his services. I truly don't think any other broker would have provided the same level of commitment and effort as he did. Thank you, David, for all your hard work and time.

Shatha A. · Zillow

This was the fastest refi we've ever experienced, and ours involved a VA loan and rolling in a HELOC. David kept us informed the whole way.

Deborah A. · Zillow

We had an excellent experience. David was honest, transparent, patient, and did the legwork to find a loan that fit our needs.
