What I Offer

Mortgage solutions tailored to your situation

Every borrower is different. That's why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all loans — I work to match you with the right product for your unique financial picture and goals.

First-Time Homebuyers

The journey to your first home shouldn't feel overwhelming. I'll walk you through every step — from pre-approval to closing — and help you explore options like FHA, VA, and conventional loans.

Refinancing

Whether you're looking to lower your rate, cash out equity, or shorten your term, I'll run the numbers honestly — showing you the real pros, cons, and break-even timeline.

Jumbo & Non-QM Loans

Self-employed? Working with unconventional income? I work with lenders who understand your situation and can craft a loan that traditional programs simply can't accommodate.

Investment Properties

Building a real estate portfolio takes a lender who understands the nuances of investment financing — from multi-family to fix-and-flip programs.

VA & Military Loans

As a proud supporter of our military community, I specialize in VA loans — zero down payment, no PMI, and competitive rates for those who've served.

Consultation & Education

Not ready to commit? That's perfectly fine. I offer no-pressure consultations to help you understand your options and build a plan on your timeline.

About David

A local lender who actually cares about the outcome

I founded my practice with a simple belief: mortgage lending should feel like talking to a knowledgeable friend, not navigating a call center. After years in the industry, I've seen how confusing and stressful the process can be — and I make it my job to change that experience.

Based right here in Gainesville, I know this community. I understand the unique challenges of buying in Northern Virginia — from the competitive market to the diverse income profiles of our residents. Whether you're a teacher, a small business owner, or a federal employee, I've helped someone in your exact situation.

At Guaranteed Rate, I have access to one of the nation's largest lending platforms — meaning competitive rates, a broad product menu, and technology that streamlines your application. But you'll never feel like a file number. I personally review every file, and I'm available by phone or email whenever you need me.

How It Works

From first call to closing day

A transparent, stress-free process — because buying a home is exciting enough without added confusion.

01

Discovery Call

We'll have a candid conversation about your goals, budget, timeline, and any questions you have. No sales pitch — just an honest assessment of where you stand and what's possible.

02

Pre-Approval

I'll gather the documents I need and run your numbers through multiple loan programs to find the best fit. You'll receive a clear pre-approval letter so sellers take you seriously.

03

Loan Processing

Once you've found the right home, I manage the entire underwriting process — ordering appraisals, coordinating with your agent, and keeping you updated every step of the way.

04

Closing Day

The final walkthrough, the signatures, the keys. I'll be there (or available by phone) to make sure everything is correct and you're confident walking into your new home.

What people say about working with David

"

David made what we thought would be a terrifying process feel completely manageable. He explained every option in plain language and never pressured us into anything we weren't comfortable with. We closed on our first home in just 30 days.

Sarah & Michael T. First-time buyers, Gainesville
"

As a self-employed contractor, I thought getting a mortgage was impossible. David found a program that worked with my income structure and got us a rate we didn't think was possible. He genuinely went above and beyond.

James R. Refinance, Manassas
"

I've worked with three different lenders over the years, and David is in a league of his own. Responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in finding the right solution — not just closing the fastest. Our VA loan was seamless.
