Your "Certified Residential Mortgage Specialist"

 

My Philosophy

As a mortgage professional, I see a mortgage, more than ever, not as a mortgage loan once was, but instead as a financial planning instrument that must be integrated into one's long and short-term personal financial plan.  My goal is to create a mortgage strategy to help build wealth for both you and your family.

With over 18 years' residential mortgage lending experience, I am committed to engineering financial solutions for my customers to help them achieve their financial objectives.

Customers first

Borrowers who are happy with the mortgage loan I helped them get are more important to me than anything else. My goal is to make the loan process as simple and worry-free as possible. I pride myself in offering the highest level of customer service, and appreciate the opportunity to earn your business. Whether you want to refinance for a lower mortgage rate, get a new home mortgage, home equity loan or second mortgage, my purpose is to satisfy your needs. By putting you first, I assure you a pleasurable transaction.

Mortgage Rates Improve For a 3rd Straight Day, Nearing All-Time Lows Again - 1 day ago
Posted To: Mortgage Rate WatchMortgages Rates continued their march into better territory today, capping a 3 day effort of improvement following Wednesday's FOMC Announcement. At this point, rates have not only solidified their re-entry into 3.875% Best-Execution levels, but some lenders are once again competitively priced at rates below that (for detail on "best-execution," READ THIS POST ). That said, we've seen a high degree of stratification over the past 3 days as lenders have responded to the bond market rally at different paces. When we say that rate offerings are more stratified, we're talking about various lenders offering increasingly different rates to the same type of borrowers. At a good handful of lenders in our survey, best-execution rates are still at 4.0%, while the bulk have moved down to 3.875%. But a...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

MBS End Week Near All Time Highs, But Benchmark Rally Momentum is Slowing - 1 day ago
Posted To: MBS CommentaryThe trading day is rapidly growing uneventful and charts suggest that quite a few market participants already have one or more feet out the door for the weekend. The only real pop of volume and volatility was seen around this morning's GDP report, which was generally a mild boon to bond markets. Consumer Sentiment was close enough to consensus as to have been a non-event and everything since then has been even less so. Trading ranges are narrowing... Stocks and Bonds are following each other to a greater extent... and Volumes are rapidly dwindling... Unless something unexpected happens to cause a surge in volume and volatility, game over... bond markets win. Not only is the pivot point seen in the video a ceiling from yesterday, but it was a major ceiling from the day before, after the FOMC...(read more)Forward this article via email:  Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
