I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Steve! I spent the first 15 years of my career as a deputy sheriff, where I learned the importance of treating people with respect, honesty, and compassion. When I transitioned to the mortgage industry, I brought those same values to my role as a loan originator here in Blaine, MN.
One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is the importance of listening to my clients before offering any loan suggestions. Understanding your goals and priorities allows me to tailor the best mortgage solutions for your unique circumstances.
Communication is key, and I’ll keep you informed at every stage of the loan process. Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or renovating, I’m here to guide you from application to closing and beyond. I’m proud to be part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, where we’re committed to giving you a superior mortgage experience.

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.
