John's Trusted Lenders

Find Your Lender of Choice

With over 20 years as a successful, trusted mortgage broker, I know firsthand how important it is to have the right lender by your side. Many of the lenders listed here are professionals I’ve worked with—and trusted—for two decades or more. They’ve consistently provided exceptional service, competitive rates, and smooth transactions for my clients.

I always recommend speaking with at least three different lenders and obtaining three Loan Estimates to compare. This gives you a clearer picture of your options and helps you make the most informed decision.

I’ll be happy to review your Loan Estimates with you, explain the differences, and help you understand the terms so you feel confident in your choice.

Mortgage Calculator with keys on Tax forms

Home Mortgage Calculator

​Our Home Mortgage Calculator does more than just estimate your monthly payment—it gives you the full picture. Simply enter your loan amount, interest rate, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and any Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) to see your complete monthly housing cost.

You can even generate a detailed amortization schedule to understand how each payment impacts your principal and interest over time. Curious about the savings from bi-monthly payments? The calculator can show you that, too.

Some numbers, like taxes and insurance for a new home, may be estimates—but I’ll be happy to guide you through the process and help input accurate figures based on your property.
