America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender
Hello! I’m Damian Squires. Born and raised in Corpus Christi, I loved all things outdoors as a young man. I grew up surfing and fishing on Padre Island or working and hunting on ranches from Kingsville to Goliad and Victoria. I’m proud to have called Austin and Central Texas home for more than 30 years and raised my family in Cedar Park.
My 30-year mortgage career has given me a unique skill set. I’ve led national sales teams and dozens of loan production teams for several of the nation’s top lenders. My teams have helped thousands of families achieve the dream of homeownership each year. This experience is invaluable as your home financing partner.
I’m proud to serve clients across Texas with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, a Veteran exploring your VA loan options or looking for conventional, FHA, USDA, jumbo or other financing solutions, my goal is to make the mortgage process clear, seamless and tailored to your goals.

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.
