Helping Canadians & Self-Employed Buyers Achieve Their Florida Dream
With nearly 20 years of mortgage experience, I make every closing a personal one. No two files are the same, and I take pride in crafting the right mortgage solution for every client I serve.
After selling my Canadian mortgage brokerage and moving to Naples, Florida, I quickly realized how challenging U.S. financing is for newcomers—especially Canadians with work visas and no U.S. credit. That experience pushed me to obtain my U.S. mortgage license, so I could help others turn their Florida dreams into reality.
I’m particularly passionate about working with self-employed buyers and first-time homebuyers. In 2024, the average first-time buyer was 38 years old—but with the right strategy, I help my clients get in a decade ahead of their peers. The sooner you start, the sooner you build wealth through real estate.
If you’re looking for a mortgage partner who truly understands cross-border financing, self-employed challenges, and first-time homebuyer strategies—let’s talk.
