About Me

THIS IS WHO I AM:  Since 1991 my team and I have been showing clients how to make SMART MORTGAGE and real estate decisions.  We are Generational Lending Experts - From First Time buyers through advanced retirement planning strategies involving Reverse Mortgages.

WHO: Our clients are typically couples and families looking to buy real estate OR families that own real estate who may be able to benefit from integrating mortgage planning into their financial goals and plans. 

WHERE:  All over California! 

HOW:  We tend to do a lot of hand-holding and education on how different mortgages strategies work - and teach on how simple decisions about their home, mortgage and debt have both a short term and long term impact on finances! 

WHY:   Because I am a numbers geek and I have seen and made most of the mistakes that people tend to make. I really enjoy understanding what is important to people and helping them see how to get there!

HOW DO WE HELP OUR PARTNERS: Other than taking care of clients and ensuring successful and smooth closings, we are focused on working with our partners, supporting them in Priority Management, marketing, strategic planning and even accountability and coaching!

We are Generational Lending Experts - this does not mean we offer loans for anyone and everyone but we tend to focus on Strategic Planning for the folks who need these types of loans:

 - First Time Home Buyers (Low Down, FHA and VA)

 - Conventional and Jumbo Fixed and ARM Loans

 - Investment and Second home properties

 - HECM and Jumbo Reverse Mortgages

 - Alternative Options for Self-Employed Borrowers

 

 - Commercial Options Available through referral or C2 Commercial

 

 

Why C2?

Working with C2 Financial Corp. as our lending partner provides our clients with access to the multiple options and pricing across all product lines.  The flexibility of the C2 platform is a huge win for our team and clients, whether it be for conventional or non-conventional programs.  Our decisions are in perfect alignment with our clients goals and not a company or bank philosophy, program of the month, or sales target goal. We truly represent the client and no one else!

My personal philosophy

I am entirely focused on teaching!  The decisions that we all make around mortgage debt and real estate impact our lifestyle, our financial plans and our ability to enjoy a fantastic life!

Without knowledge and understanding we wander from plan (or not) to plan with no destination in mind.  

I am passionate about helping our clients and partners make good financial decisions - especially around mortgage debt!  

Every conversation, interaction, email, text is an opportunity to impact another human in a positive way.

Every class we teach is an opportunity to make a difference and influence a wider group of people- there is power and responsibility in this and I never take it lightly.

We call ourselves Generational Lending Experts because since 1991 I have been advising families on their first home, their next homes and even their final home.  The rush that comes from helping a First Time Buyer get that American Dream to the life changing Impact of helping a client Right Size or Age in Place with a HECM/Reverse mortgage is what gets me going each and every day! 

 

 

What people are saying about me

"John, Kal, Ana, and the entire team were great. They were honest, fair and with us the entire process. We would not be in our home (got the keys today) without their help. A plan was laid out, the plan was followed and we are not in our new house. We are so thankful for the John and the team for their help. I will definitely use them in my future lending needs and will strongly endorse them to my friends and family."
