I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Matthew. I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Finance from Liberty University before joining the mortgage industry full-time in 2007. My education and extensive experience in home financing help me simplify mortgages, starting with clear communication that instills confidence you are making the right choices for your future. I offer a wide range of products, including conventional, jumbo, FHA, and VA. Together, we’ll walk through the steps of your home loan journey.
From pre-approval to closing and beyond, I’ll make sure you know what’s happening with your mortgage and answer your questions along the way. As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender in Wooster, OH, I’m excited to provide you with outstanding customer service and a personalized home financing experience.
Outside of the office, I love sports and am a fan of all things Cleveland. I enjoy serving my local church’s children’s ministry with my wife, Maria. We have three wonderful children named Miles, Millie, and Maverick.

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
-
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
