Three lanes, one broker

Pick the path that fits your deal.

Most lenders pretend they do everything. I focus on what I'm actually great at.

Signature Niche

Selling in Maine, buying in Florida? That's my home turf.

I help families move from Maine to Florida. Bridge financing, timing the sale, getting prequalified before the snow flies. I have built the playbook that makes the move boring in a good way.

What I help you sort out

  • Timing the Maine sale and Florida purchase so you don't carry two mortgages
  • Bridge loans when the dates don't line up perfectly
  • Florida quirks like flood zones, HOA budgets, and condo financing
  • Out of state closings without flying back and forth
  • Realtor referrals on both ends if you need them

Working with a Realtor partner on both ends? My joint brand Maine Florida Collective puts a Mainer on the ground in Southern Maine and a Mainer on the ground in Tampa Bay alongside the mortgage. Visit mainefloridacollective.com.

The Way I Work

A mortgage, without the runaround.

Step 1

We talk first

A real conversation, not a form-fest. I want to understand the deal before I quote anything.

Step 2

I map the strategy

Best loan program, best fit for your file, and what to do (and not do) before closing.

Step 3

We close clean

I stay in the deal from application to keys. Direct access to your broker. No call centers.

About Travis

Started in 2004. Still here. Two states, no fluff.

I got into the mortgage business in 2004, took a detour to live a little, then came back to what I'm actually good at. I've closed loans through every kind of market, for first time buyers, retirees moving south, real estate investors, and everyone in between. I treat your file like it's my own, because that's how I'd want to be treated.

FAQ

Quick answers to the questions I get most.

Are you a broker or a bank?+

Broker. That means I shop your file across multiple lenders to find the right fit, instead of forcing you into one product menu like a bank does.

Do you really close loans in both Maine and Florida?+

Yes. I'm fully licensed in both states. Maine has been home base since I started in 2004. Florida came on as I started helping clients move south.

What's a DSCR loan and do I qualify?+

DSCR (Debt Service Coverage Ratio) loans qualify investors based on the rental income of the property, not personal tax returns. Great for real estate investors who own through LLCs or have complex tax pictures. We'll talk through your specific situation on a call.

How long does a typical closing take?+

Most purchases close in 21 to 30 days from accepted offer. Refinances vary. I push for clean, on time closings and keep you in the loop the whole way.

What credit score do I need?+

It depends on the loan program. Government loans (FHA, VA, USDA) are flexible. Conventional and DSCR have their own minimums. Don't self disqualify before we talk.

Nothing on this page is a commitment to lend or an offer of credit. All loans are subject to credit and underwriting approval. Equal Housing Opportunity.
