“Joe is very efficient, works around the clock and always there to answer questions when needed. No waiting around for business hours. Great rates and costs, too.” -K.L.

Joe loves being able to help families, especially first time homebuyers, realize their dream of owning a home.

After an 18-year career in marketing and advertising, Joe was looking for a change. His brother-in-law was a loan officer, so Joe decided to try out the mortgage role and has been happily helping his clients finance their homes since 2015. Joe’s best advice to his clients is to get qualified as soon as possible with full documentation.

Joe’s clients have shared, “He understood our work schedule and was available to us when we were off in the evenings or on weekends.” Though while in between helping his clients, his favorite free-time activity is getting to be with his family.
