I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Ben. When you come to me for your mortgage, I start by listening. That’s how I’m able to structure your ideal home loan—by understanding your goals and priorities. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a long-time homeowner, 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. I’m 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, I’m ready to give you an outstanding home loan experience at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.
I grew up in West Texas and graduated from Texas A&M University. My wife and I currently reside in Houston, where we’re raising our three children. When I’m not busy closing loans, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, and golfing.

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.
