I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Christopher! I have been in the mortgage industry for 17 years and have always enjoyed working with clients on their home financing journeys. For me, it’s not just about writing a loan—it’s about picking the program that’s best for each individual and their family.
By choosing me and my team, your mortgage intentions will be met with a listening ear and a complete understanding of what the process looks like from start to finish. If you’re a first-time homebuyer, rest assured that I will walk you through each step and resolve any questions you may have. If this is not your first time buying, we will discuss some of the newer products we offer and rediscover how staple programs like conventional, jumbo, FHA, VA, renovation, investment, and refinance have evolved over time.
I look forward to making your next dream of homeownership a reality while delivering the level of communication and service you deserve from your lender, right here in Anoka, MN, with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.

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.
