The broker who actually calls you back.

Got a deal another lender said no to? We'll figure it out.

Your deal, your client, your commission — all of it hinges on whether the lender picks up the phone. I pick up the phone. Every time. That's the whole pitch.

What You Get

Six things your listings deserve.

You know what it feels like when a loan falls apart the week of closing. You also know what it feels like when a lender ghosts you during inspections. Here's what working with me looks like instead.

24h

Same-day pre-approvals

Full pre-approval in 24 hours or less — not "pre-qualification," the real deal with credit pulled, income docs reviewed, and an issued letter your seller can trust. Weekends count.

🕑

Weekly deal updates — to you

Every Monday during an open deal, you and your client get the same status update from me: where we are, what's next, what I need. No chasing, no surprises, no "the underwriter will call you back."

My cell is your cell

(248) 491-8998. Always on, always answered by me — not a call center, not an LO assistant, not voicemail. Friday night, offer deadline Saturday morning? Call me.

$$

Wholesale pricing, not retail

I'm a broker shopping your client's loan across dozens of wholesale lenders. That's structurally lower than what they'd get at a bank or online lender — more room in their budget for the offer to stick.

🎯

Closes on time — actually

My team pre-underwrites deals before we issue the letter, so the "conditions" that blow up closings don't blow up ours. Average close time: 18 days on refi, 21 days on purchase.

US

Veteran-owned, Michigan-only

I'm USMC and I only originate loans in Michigan. That means I know the Michigan down payment assistance programs available through my wholesale lenders, the Oakland/Wayne/Macomb title companies, and the local market dynamics that out-of-state lenders miss. Local expertise without the big-bank bureaucracy.

The Process

From intro call to commission check.

Here's exactly how a deal flows when your client is financed by me. Predictable, on your timeline, zero drama.

1

Intro / Pre-Approval

You send me the client. I get them pre-approved in 24 hours or less with a letter you can use on offers.

2

Offer Accepted

You loop me in on the PA. I have a rate-lock conversation with the client same day and kick off the file.

3

Underwriting

Weekly Monday updates for you and your client. I proactively flag anything at risk before it's a problem.

4

Clear to Close

CTC issued on schedule. Final numbers reviewed 24 hours before closing. Funded. Your commission wired.

What Your Clients Get

So they come back to you next time.

Your reputation is on the line every time you recommend a lender. Here's what your client's experience looks like with me, so you know the referral will make you look good.

Real transparency

Rate lock in writing the day it happens. Line-item closing cost breakdowns. No surprise fees, no "lender credit" nonsense that shows up then gets clawed back at the table.

Every loan type under one roof

Conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, DSCR, bank statement, Fix & Flip, HELOC, doctor loans, reverse, down payment assistance programs. If your client fits a box, I find it.

30 five-star Google reviews

Every client I've closed has been asked to review, and every review has been 5 stars. Your client becomes number 31 — and the story they tell their friends is a good one.

Post-close follow-through

I don't disappear after funding. Clients stay on my annual review list — if rates drop, they hear from me. That's more referrals flowing back to you over time.

Partnership Tools

Marketing that makes you look good too.

I'm happy to build the marketing side of our partnership with you. Co-branded materials, joint events, client-facing assets — whatever actually moves deals in your market. A few things I do regularly:

  • Co-branded flyers & open-house handouts
  • Rate sheets you can share with your sphere
  • First-time buyer seminars (I present, you invite)
  • Monthly market email to your pre-qualified clients
  • Custom financing one-pagers for your listings
  • Video "mortgage 101" content for your social feeds

What Realtors Say

Don't take my word for it.

Rob is the only lender I refer to anymore. He picks up the phone at 8 PM on a Saturday, he closes on time, and my clients love him. Period.
