I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hello! My name is Carl. With over 20 years of experience in the mortgage industry, my mission is to get you the right loan. To me, it’s about more than completing the application and hoping it’s approved. I strategically think about how your loan process will work, basically underwriting the file in my head and checking upfront with our underwriters on guidelines and investigating any roadblocks proactively to ensure a smooth process.
I believe the most important decision you’ll make when buying a home is choosing your mortgage advisor. A trusted loan officer at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’ve been voted a #1 Lender in the Rural Virginian’s Readers Choice Poll for the past 14 years – and continue to be a top producer in the industry since 2002.
Spending much of my adult life in the Lake Monticello Community, I’m an active member of CAAR and the Charlottesville Chamber of Commerce. I also contribute to local charities, like the Americans Heart Association, Arc of the Piedmont and Meals on Wheels.

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.
