1. What is one thing about your company that you would like REALTORS ® to know? (Answer is limited to 100 words.)
There is talk among REALTORS that my company is focused on “outside-the-box” loans for borrowers having lower credit, less liquidity, or other factors that prevent them from qualifying for conventional financing.
THIS IS COMPLETELY INCORRECT!
90%+ of the mortgage business conducted by Ocean Mortgage is conforming loans at interest rates and closing speeds that are typically unbeatable. Yes, we have private and reverse mortgage lenders to help those in tougher situations. But since few, if any, banks along the Treasure Coast of Florida have programs that help people who get turned down – we don’t turn anyone away!
2. What is a fun fact about yourself? (Answer is limited to 100 words.)
Prior to starting Ocean Mortgage in 2012, the last transaction I completed was the acquisition and financing of a 60-story Class AAA downtown office tower – one of the largest buildings in Canada. But the most rewarding business in my career, by far, has been helping people get the best mortgage – at an average loan size of $189,000.
For those who prefer financing multi-billion dollar properties in the largest cities in the world for enormously wealthy pension funds and bureaucratic corporations… they can have that job! |
