About Christopher

I’ve been a career mortgage loan originator and sales manager since graduating from Providence College in 2004 with degrees in U.S. History and Business. I place emphasis on providing the low rates and highest level of customer service without making you pay a premium for those services.

Whether you’re a first-time buyer or an ultra-savvy real estate investor, I am extremely knowledgeable and equipped to find the best financial solution to meet your needs. My team specializes in jumbo, conventional, SONYMA, FHA, co-ops, condos, and multifamily property loans.

While most of my residential clients live in Brooklyn, Manhattan and northern New Jersey, I serve the entire metro area and have a significant presence along the east coast from Maine down to Florida. Wherever your homeownership journey takes you, I strive to not just meet your expectations, but exceed them.

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Resources

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.

  • The Mortgage Process

    There are some major milestones on your road to home financing. As your loan officer, I’ll be with you every step of the way to make sure you understand each one and get through them quickly.

  • Payment Calculator

    How much will your mortgage payment be? How much can you save if you refinance? Is it better to buy than rent? Use these online calculators to crunch the numbers and see for yourself.

  • Find the Right Loan

    I separate myself from other lenders by offering a broader selection of home financing options — from loans for first-time homebuyers to refinance programs for accessing your home’s equity.

  • Home Loan Check List

    Before you explore the endless options of home financing, some preparation is in order. Planning ahead for your mortgage is the key to an easier and more successful home financing process.

What Our Clients Say

Perfect score for Chris. From day one, he was always easily accessible and attentive to my specific needs. It was a glaring contrast to some initial experiences that I had at other banks. Thank you for the excellent service.

Aaron D.

Chris is the consummate professional and so good at what he does. I would use him every time and always recommend him. We moved with Chris from his last position to his current position at CrossCountry, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
