Your Texas Loan Officer

I've helped Texas families buy and refinance homes for more than 20 years. I'll walk you through each step in plain language, so you always know what comes next.

Buying a home has a lot of steps. I explain each one as we go, and I'm here when questions come up.

Why Work With Me

As a loan officer with NEXA Lending, I can shop more than 300 lenders for you. That lets me compare options and find the loan that fits you. Plenty of Texas homes need some updating, and renovation loans are one of my specialties.

My free guide walks you through the whole process, from your first call to closing day.

Common Questions

How do I get started?

Apply online or book a free call. Once I review your application and credit report, we'll go over your loan amount, your payment and your next steps.

Do I need perfect credit to buy a home?

No. Many loan programs work with less-than-perfect credit. I'll look at your full picture and show you what's possible.

How much do I need for a down payment?

It depends on the loan. VA and USDA loans can require no down payment, FHA loans start at 3.5%, and some conventional loans start at 3%.

What areas do you serve?

I'm based in San Antonio and help buyers anywhere in Texas.
