I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m George T. I joined the mortgage industry almost by accident following the dot-com fallout in the late 90s. After working for CBS Sports, AOL, and Rivals.com, I realized it was a happy accident—18 years later, I’m still here and loving every minute of it!
I pride myself on unmatched communication, market knowledge, and great care for my clients and referral partners. I’ve built my business on real estate agents and clients who return to me for all their home loan needs, and I look forward to providing the same high level of service to you.
Each loan is unique, just like the individuals who come to me with their specific goals, circumstances, and priorities. Whether you need a conventional loan, a jumbo mortgage, or qualify for FHA, USDA, or VA programs, we’ll find the right product for your needs.
From pre-approval to closing and beyond, I’ll always answer your questions and help achieve new goals. I’m excited to start your home financing journey 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.
