Welcome

Since beginning my career with United Home Loans in 2004, I’ve come to realize that industry changes are inevitable and having a positive reputation is necessary.  Obtaining financing is NOT a simple process today, so my goal is to provide important resources and answers to your questions.  Think of this site as your first stop to the loan process…a hub for housing news, guidelines and getting your approval process started.

I pride myself on adding value, being accessible, providing a transparent process and managing realistic expectations. My team at United Home Loans will provide a personalized experience with the highest regard for ethical and professional standards.  We strive for loyalty, and want to earn your trust.

I do not look at a mortgage as a singular transaction. Your mortgage is an investment, and it’s important that you have the right kind of mortgage that not only fits your current needs, but also aligns with your goals and expectations for the future.
