I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Matthew. I have more than 24 years of experience in the mortgage business, including loan origination and construction financing. With additional branch management experience spanning branch operations, product development, and loan procedures, I offer a holistic understanding of the loan process from start to finish.
My wide-ranging knowledge allows me to provide the highest level of professionalism and customer service. If you’re a first-time homebuyer, I’ll guide you through each step of the loan process and answer any questions you have. If this is not your first mortgage, we’ll explore how programs like conventional, jumbo, construction, and VA loans can bring your homeownership dreams to life.
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, I moved to Tampa, Florida, in 1979 and call it home with my wife and two children. I love serving our community through home financing and look forward to making your homebuying experience pleasant and memorable at 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.
