I’m licensed in both Florida and Georgia, and I regularly assist clients purchasing homes outside their current state of residence. My process is designed to be seamless and remote-friendly.

Typical lender fees include origination, appraisal, underwriting, and credit report costs—usually totaling 2–5% of the loan amount, depending on lender and loan type.

Clients typically need ID, income docs (pay stubs, W-2s), bank statements, and credit info to begin the mortgage process. I provide a full checklist to guide them.

I guide clients through credit reports, help dispute errors, suggest debt reduction strategies, and connect them with trusted credit counseling resources to boost scores before applying.

Clients can expect clear communication, step-by-step guidance, and proactive support from application to closing. I simplify the process, anticipate challenges, and keep everything on track.
