What agents get when they send me a buyer
I close on time.
Deals die at the closing table when the lender isn't prepared. I manage the file proactively, set realistic expectations up front, and keep the timeline on track so there are no last-minute surprises for you or your client.
You'll always know where things stand.
I keep you in the loop at every stage — not just when there's a problem. Prompt, proactive communication is non-negotiable on my end, because your reputation rides on it too.
I take care of your clients.
I treat every buyer you send me like family. I educate them, answer their questions, and make sure they feel confident — which reflects well on you and earns you repeat business and referrals.
Fast, dependable pre-approvals.
When your buyer needs to move quickly, I'm ready. I turn pre-approvals around fast so your clients can write competitive offers without waiting, and so you can list with confidence that financing is solid.
I know the local programs cold.
VA, FHA, USDA, and conventional — including how much of the Tri-Cities is USDA-eligible. That local knowledge means your buyers see every option, and deals that look tricky often have a path.
A veteran's reliability.
I served in the Marine Corps, and that service mindset shapes how I work: do what I say, show up, and follow through. You can count on it.
What you can expect as my referral partner
When you send me a buyer, here's what you can count on:
- Quick, dependable pre-approvals so your buyers can write competitive offers
- Weekly updates on every active file — you're never left guessing
- I talk directly with the listing agent to keep deals moving
- Direct cell access — call or text me, not a 1-800 number
- Buyer education that makes your clients confident and reflects well on you
- On-time closings managed proactively, not reactively
- Honest guidance for buyers who aren't ready yet, so they come back ready
