About David

I have 14 years of real estate experience as an agent and managing broker. I also have worked in the banking industry, starting as a foreclosure and bankruptcy specialist before ending as an asset manager. I will use my extensive experience to help you navigate the home financing process and find the perfect loan.

When you come to me for your mortgage, I begin by listening. That’s how I’m able to structure your ideal home loan — by understanding your goals and priorities. You may be a first-time homebuyer or a long-time homeowner. You may be buying an investment property or looking for a renovation loan. I offer a wide range of mortgage programs, from conventional and jumbo to FHA and VA. Together, we’ll find the one that meets your individual needs.

Sharing information is just as important as listening. Communication is key, and I am dedicated to keeping you informed about your loan’s progress while being available to answer your questions every step of the way — from application to closing and beyond.

Whether you are buying, refinancing, or renovating, I am ready to give you the outstanding home loan experience you deserve.

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

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.
