    NMLS 274132. Licensed in MN, WI, IA, ND, SD, CO, FL.

    My unique advantage is that I have been in the mortgage lending, the home loan business well over 25-years. Experience is everything in this industry. As a top 1% Loan Officer in the country for multiple years, I have the experience of all facets of mortgage lending to help you to the closing table.

    I can tell you that getting a home loan approved and closed IS CHALLENGING in today's market, and LOW LEVEL application clerks at the big banks and large internet lenders fall very short. You need the right person on your team.

    It is more important that ever to get the best interest rate and program for yourself by working with extremely well qualified Loan Officers and Real Estate Agents. You will pay the same rate and closing costs for someone in the business 20-years and someone who got into the business six months ago. 

    I understand that mortgages are not a one-size-fits-all business, and I take pride in understanding my client's financial scenario and identifying the loan that best suits their needs.  I know what happens at each step of the home loan process and why. Your home is the single largest item you will ever finance and the process shouldn’t have to be so hard, confusing, or scary and you shouldn’t have to do it alone. 

    With an expertise in all aspects of home mortgages, I can cater to both simple and challenging scenarios. I often assume files that others can't figure out how to get approved, primarily due to lack of experience.

    Easy or hard, I appreciate the opportunity to assist you in making your home ownership dreams become reality. I am your partner from start to finish. So what sets me apart from everybody else? Communication, Responsiveness, Accuracy, Turnaround and most importantly…….. Close on Time, Every Time!!!"

  • My Commitment as Your Loan Officer

    • I will return phone calls promptly.
    • I will keep all parties informed, every step of the way.
    • I will endeavor to resolving problems quickly.
    • I will following through on each transaction right through to moving day.
    • I will endeavor to act in the best interests of the customer at all times.
    • I will establish a price for services upfront, in writing, based on information provided by the customer (Loan Estimate), so that there are no surprises.
    • The price or prices will cover all the services provided by us.
    • On third party services, such as an appraisal, ordered by us, but paid for by the customer, I will provide the invoice from the third party service provider at the customer’s request. Alternatively, I may have the payment made directly by the customer to the third party service provider (example: you pay the appraiser when he is at your home).
    • I will endeavor to make my Loan Estimate as accurate as possible (unlike the "sunshine lenders", who quote rates & closing costs which are unrealistic, in order to get your business - then surprise you later).
    • I will use my best efforts to determine the loan type, features, and lender services that best meet the customer's needs, and to find the best wholesale price for that loan.
    • When directed by the customer, I will lock the terms (rate, points, and other major features) of the loan, and will provide a copy of the written confirmation of the rate lock.
    • If a customer elects to float the rate/points, we will provide the customer the best rate available to that customer on the day the loan is finally locked.
