Our List of Preferred Lenders

You are welcome to use ANY mortgage lender who suits your needs and fits your budget, even if they’re not listed here. Keep in mind, with today’s fast-moving market, it might not be beneficial to select a mortgage lender, bank, or credit union whose hours are only Monday-Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM. As you’ll learn early on, situations and/or questions arise around the clock, so you’ll want a team who will work alongside you when you need them!

As REALTORS®, we follow a strict Code of Ethics, so we expect the same level of service from the lenders, vendors, and contractors we recommend to our clients. We only work with partners who truly extend an equal opportunity to our very diverse clientele. Veteran-friendly.
LGBTQ-friendly.
Everyone is welcome here.

Quality and personalized service you can trust.

I’ve worked with Daylon for almost 20 years. He is affiliated with the Texas Veterans Land Board. Daylon has worked in several areas of the mortgage industry, which makes him uniquely knowledgeable about various loan programs and what it takes to qualify. Daylon also offers a complimentary credit consultation to our clients who are planning early for their new home purchase. If you don’t qualify today, he will help customize a game plan for your future! Daylon has not only earned a top spot on our preferred lender’s list but has remained a close lending partner since 1999.
