I'm a Producing Team Leader / Loan Officer for Price Mortgage (fka District Lending) in the greater Phoenix area. Price Mortgage is one of the top mortgage "brokers" in Valley. Our value proposition is tough to beat … we don't charge any lender fees ($0), you can't beat our rates, we offer more loan programs, our service is better, and we close faster (21-Day Guarantee)! In addition, we focus a lot on consumer direct, so we are able to refer qualified buyers and sellers to our real estate agent partners. And lastly, our proprietary systems enable us to help our real estate agent partners convert more of their leads to closings!Prior to joining Price Mortgage / District Lending, I spent close to 7 great years with Academy Mortgage (one of the nation's top mortgage "bankers") where I was consistently one of their top-producing loan officers. I spent my last 2 years with Academy co-managing their Chandler Fashion Center branch. We were one of the few lender offices that truly handled the entire loan process (including Processing, Underwriting, Doc Prep and Funding) inside our 4 walls. In a very short period of time, we became the 2nd highest-producing branch for Academy in Arizona (on track to reach $200M funded in 2018) ... and one of their Top Five branches nationally!I spent the first part of my career (17 years) in commercial real estate having worked for a few of the largest publicly-traded real estate brokerages and real estate investment trusts in the country. I primarily functioned as a portfolio manager, with combined responsibility for approximately $1.6B in property assets, and completed more than $750M in transactions. Born and raised in Los Angeles. I'm a graduate of the University of Arizona with an Executive MBA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I played baseball for UofA (from '87 - '90). I live in Chandler with my wife of 25 years - Courtney, and our two children – Bauer (19) and Canon (16).NMLS #832622
