How did I end up here?

I began in real estate 20 years ago when my wife and I bought our first investment property. I was a high school teacher, and she had just quit her elementary school teaching job when our first son was born. So there we were: one teacher, one unemployed teacher, and a baby (also unemployed). We took the step in faith and bought a house we were not going to live in. It sounded crazy at the time, but we were off on our real estate journey. Since then, we have added some rentals, flipped a few, and managed them all. (That's a story for another day.)

During this time I got my real estate sales license so I could buy and sell our investment properties easier and so I could keep the commission! I kept that license for about ten years. Toward the end of that period, I got my home inspection license and began home and commercial inspections. I have done that since 2012 and have inspected about 3,000 homes and businesses. While I do not inspect full-time now, I still keep my license, and occasionally I climb on the roof for someone in need of an inspector.

That brings us to today. I decided I wanted to help people in real estate in a different way--by helping them get financed. I had enjoyed helping people find and buy homes, inspecting their proposed home to make sure it was ok, but it was time to up my game and get into the money business.

My goal has always been about helping people. I am a firm believer in teaching you what the options are and answering any questions you have so you can make the best decision for you. I will never be pushy or aggressive. This is a big decision and it is your decision. I'm just here to help.
