President / Founder / Mortgage Consultant

Stephen has been serving the community as a mortgage loan officer for nearly 20 years.

Treating clients like family, listening to truly understand their goals, and strategizing along with them to ensure that these goals are met is what separates Stephen from the competition. Stephen believes that making himself and his team available 24/7 is a sacrifice that is worth being made to make sure that his clients get the service they deserve. “If I was buying or refinancing a home, I’d expect my loan officer to be available whenever I needed him, so how I could I not provide that for all my clients?”
