What I Do

Loan Programs Built
Around You

Every borrower's situation is different. I match you with the program that actually fits your numbers, not the one that's easiest to sell.

01

Purchase Loans

From first offer to closing day, a clear plan and a rate locked in before you're competing for the house.

02

Refinancing

Lower your rate, shorten your term, or pull equity — with a straight breakdown of what you actually save.

03

FHA, VA & USDA Loans

Low-down-payment, veteran-backed, and rural development programs, handled by someone who knows the paperwork cold.

04

Jumbo Loans

Financing above conforming limits, structured to keep your rate and reserves in line.

05

First-Time Home Buyers

A plain-English walkthrough of every step, so nothing about closing catches you off guard.

06

Down Payment Assistance

Grant and second-lien programs that can lower or eliminate what you need to bring to closing.

07

Second Mortgages

A second lien behind your existing mortgage, structured to free up cash without touching your first rate.

08

HELOCs

A revolving line against your home's equity — draw what you need, when you need it, on your terms.

09

Hard Money Loans

Fast, asset-based financing for time-sensitive deals when speed matters more than a conventional timeline.

10

Bank Statement Loans

Qualify on real cash flow instead of tax returns — built for self-employed and 1099 borrowers.

11

Credit Repair Support

Straightforward guidance on strengthening your score so you qualify for a better rate and program.

12

Rate Strategy

Buydowns, locks, and timing advice geared to the market you're actually buying in — not last year's.

The Process

Four Steps.
No Guesswork.

The same sequence, every time — so you always know exactly what's next.

1

Apply

A short conversation and a document checklist — most applicants are done in under 20 minutes.

2

Get Approved

Full underwriting review with a real answer, not just a pre-qual guess.

3

Lock Your Rate

We lock at the right moment for your timeline, and you'll know exactly why.

4

Close

Final walkthrough of your numbers before you ever sit down at the table.

I was a mortgage loan officer for eight years so I know several people in the industry. When I decided to buy a new home Erick was the only mortgage professional I considered. He has a lot of experience and the loan went flawlessly.

Many different mortgage brokers told me that we did not qualify for a mortgage after financial mistakes in our past. After hearing our situation and what we wanted to achieve, Erick came up with a game plan to get it all done.

We had a unique home purchase situation that involved a legal dispute with the builder for over a year. Erick was extremely patient, thorough and consistent on his excellent customer service. He is top notch.

★★★★★

Erick was truly a miracle worker! We were just days out of a Chapter 13 discharge and he was still confident he could get us an FHA loan — and it closed at a rate even lower than a conventional loan.

★★★★★

I tried to refinance my custom-built home for over five years. A super jumbo loan acquired years ago was nearly 8% interest, and over a dozen lenders attempted to refinance it and failed. I was skeptical when I met Erick — he got it done.

★★★★★

I had a 1st and 2nd mortgage with high rates. Erick was able to find a lender that could combine the two at a much lower rate. There were a number of issues from my previous loans and Erick was able to get those corrected.

Erick helped me with much more than purchasing my house. Once he had all of my information, we came up with a game plan and within the same time frame he promised I was into my home! I would talk to Erick late at night, on the weekends — he answered.

My client had a unique employment situation which 4 other lenders could not help with, but Erick got it done with ease. As a former underwriter, Erick was confident and knowledgeable and got it done for us in a very short time frame.

★★★★★

If I would have known how easy it would be to refinance my home I would have done it sooner. Erick told me what he needed and did all the work. All I had to do was send the documents and show up at the closing.

Erick made the process really easy. While other lenders are asking for repetitive paperwork, Erick only requested the necessary documents. He also kept an eye on interest rates and called me when they dropped to lock in.
