Mortgage Loan Originator, Tampa local, and the guy who still picks up the phone on a Saturday when your offer is due Sunday.
Because for most of my clients, that's exactly what a mortgage is. It's not paperwork, it's the plan that turns "someday" into an address. I've spent my career helping Tampa Bay families cross that line: first time buyers using down payment assistance, growing families moving up, veterans using their VA benefit, and homeowners putting their equity to work.
And I get it, because I'm living it. My wife and I are raising our three kids right here in Tampa, so when a family sits across from me, I know exactly what that home means. It's the same thing mine means to us.
I work at Pioneer Mortgage Funding on the broker side of the business. That matters for you: instead of one bank's menu, I can take your scenario to many lenders and find the program that actually fits, including FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, and options for self employed buyers and investors.
Y sí, hablo Español. Muchos de mis clientes prefieren hacer todo el proceso en Español, desde la primera llamada hasta el cierre, y para mí es un gusto.
You'll always get straight answers, even when the honest answer is "not yet, and here's the plan to get there." Some of my favorite closings started as a credit conversation months earlier. My clients keep my cell number, they get updates before they have to ask, and their realtors get the same. That's why my Google rating is a 5.0 and why most of my business comes from past clients and the agents who trust me with theirs.
26 reviews from real closings across Tampa Bay.

Full service in English and Spanish, start to finish.
