Banks & big lenders with their slick ads will often trick you into believing they have lower rates!  They don't!

The key thing to know is banks and big lenders struggle to maintain profits with the huge cost of their corporate offices, big ad budget and high executive salaries.  They need to squeeze every dollar out of each loan they close - and the only way to do that is to increase their profit margin by increasing the rate and lender fees they charge a borrower--meaning you!

A Mortgage Broker-like me-who operates with less overhead-- will efficiently pass on that savings to you with reduced rates and fees - saving you thousands of dollars.

We have worked with Dennis through three home purchases and several re-financings. He has proven to be the consummate lending professional and he made our pursuit of a home mortgage loan successful, painless and free from unpleasant surprises. He has also helped us think through various financial scenarios and can be counted on to come up with creative solutions to our life planning issues. We found him always to be completely honest and forthright. Actually, he is fun to work with! I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone in search of a home mortgage!

Dennis is extremely knowledgeable and goes the extra mile to assist his clients. We knew right from the beginning that we were in good hands. Dennis demonstrated great professionalism, he answered ALL of our questions at a moments notice, and kept us updated throughout the process. We endured some probate challenges with our seller/Realtor and Dennis shared his knowledge, reassured us, was an immense help, and kept up informed. His expertise is outstanding! His genuine thoughtfulness and kindness is something we shall never forget about Dennis. He was so honest and sincere from day one. These are strong characteristics you would wish for and we were extremely fortunate and lucky to have been introduced to Dennis. We would HIGHLY recommend him!

Absolutely the best experience imaginable! Dennis is incredibly knowledgeable and always willing to help in all facets of the process. He made himself available at all times and responded promptly to any and all emails, text and phone calls. I have had numerous troubles during this process in the past and was fearful of this one just the same. After the first phone call with Dennis I felt at ease and most importantly I felt I could trust him. I will recommend him highly , thanks again!
