About Me
Hello and thank you for visiting my page!
I have almost 20 years of finance experience and love assisting Kansan's achieve their dreams of home ownership. I encourage all potential client's to research me online versus talking myself up here. Any lender can say they are the best ever, but the only way to know for sure is to take a look at their track record and see what previous clients say. The proof is in the pudding!
I believe in complete transparency. You can expect straight and honest answers that you can fact check on any website or with any trusted advisor.
Beyond that, we do our very best to give personalized attention throughout every step of the process. Access to me outside normal business hours (Weekends,Evenings) is welcome and encouraged. I want to help ease any anxiety that often can accompany one of the biggest purchase's in your life. Being able to communicate with me outside typical business hours is often a huge advantage when you need to get a jump on the competition. Sometimes, things just can not wait until normal banking hours.
Great credit, terrible credit and everything in between. I have seen it all, no matter what the case is, I want to help!
If you are in the planning phase I won't rush you. I will take the time to help you structure a step by step action plan to help you achieve your goals, no matter what the time frame may be. Thank you again for visiting my page and I hope to assist you soon!
