Our team

Three brokers, and you will know which one is yours.

Every inquiry is routed to a named person based on what you told the qualifier. Nobody works a shared inbox, and nobody hands your file to a processor you have never spoken to. Each of them has their own page, their own direct line and their own form.

How routing works

Nobody here fights over a lead.

When you finish the qualifier, your answers decide who calls you. A first home, an FHA file or a down payment assistance program goes to Cole. Self employed income, an investment property or a short sale goes to Diego. Jumbo, and anything that has already been declined somewhere else, goes to JR. It is a rule, not a race, and it is why the person who calls already knows something about your situation.

If you would rather pick, every officer has a direct line and a form that reaches only them. And if you land with the wrong one, they will hand you to the right one rather than keep the file.

  • Your qualifier answers arrive before the call does
  • One officer owns the file from first call to closing
  • Direct lines, published, not a switchboard

Let the qualifier pick, or pick for yourself.

Either works. What does not work is a contact form that lands nowhere and a call back three days later.
