I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Lawrence, based in Houston, TX. My background in criminal justice and a 32-year career in law enforcement may seem like an unexpected path to becoming a mortgage professional. However, the core of my work has always been about service and helping people achieve their goals. This passion led me to transition to home financing, allowing me to leverage my experience as a real estate agent and loan officer to provide comprehensive support throughout your homebuying journey.
My public service background instilled a deep commitment to putting people first. I believe in exceptional customer service that starts with truly listening to your needs and guiding you every step of the way. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, looking to refinance, or searching for your dream property, I’m here to ensure you feel informed and confident throughout the process. As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’m excited to work with you and help you achieve your homeownership dreams.

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.
