Deon is one of the best reps I have ever worked with. His response time is always prompt, his knowledge of the products is top-notch, and he is always a pleasure to work with. I look forward to continuing our working relationship for a very long time, and I would highly recommend him to any employer looking for a fantastic account representative.

With volatile income from her business, Luz couldn’t provide the income documentation necessary to qualify for a traditional mortgage. Her monthly and annual income volatility was exacerbated by the fact that her business is an “all-cash” business; her taxable income did not necessarily reflect her cash flow and ability to make monthly mortgage payments. With almost four years of reserves after close, a 30% down payment, and a prime credit score of 763, this savvy business owner qualified for a Community Mortgage to buy her new home.

As a real estate professional, Juan can generate tax losses from items such as accelerated depreciation and other tax incentives; thus, his taxable income has been negative in recent periods and/or below his GAAP income. Due to his tax-efficient business, he has not been able to get a traditional bank loan and had taken out a 10% hard money loan to acquire his new house. With a 50% down payment, ability to pay the 10% interest rate on the hard money loan, and history of successful homeownership, Juan and Mondie received a Community Mortgage loan that enabled them to upgrade their home while reducing their overall interest expense.

It's a pleasure working with Deon, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From the moment we began discussing my loan details, I felt confident that I was in good hands. His extensive knowledge and expertise in the lending industry was evident throughout the entire process, and he was always available to answer any questions or concerns I had. Not only did Deon work tirelessly to find the best advice for my specific situation, but he also went above and beyond to ensure that everything went smoothly and efficiently. His attention to detail and dedication to providing excellent customer service truly made a difference, and I am so grateful for all his hard work. I would not hesitate to recommend him to other loan officers, and I look forward to working with him again in the future. Thank you for everything!

A renter for 10 years, Jian had recently sold his established business and was kept on as a consultant with significant compensation. He was ready to fulfill his dream of buying a home with more than 30% down to put toward the purchase. Due to the fact that he was recently self-employed as a consultant – to his own former business – Jian was not able to qualify with traditional lenders due to his lack of a two-year history in his new job. Because of Jian’s prime credit score of 753, 30% down payment, and his lucrative consulting role with the business he had just sold, we were able to help him realize his dream of homeownership with a Community Mortgage.

Because Cierra recently went back to work after a six-month hiatus, she wasn’t able to show the two consecutive years of employment history required to qualify for a traditional mortgage, according to the Ability to Repay (ATR) rules under Dodd Frank. With Cierra’s 58 months of reserves after closing, a 30% down payment for the new home, her prime credit score of 762, and her new job, we were able to provide Cierra with a Community Mortgage loan for her and her daughter’s new home.
