Local Roots & Expertise

Nearly a decade in North Carolina, including my time stationed at Fort Bragg, has given me a firsthand understanding of the Triangle, its local markets, and the people who call it home.

VA & Military Expertise

As an Army veteran, I specialize in VA financing and help veterans and service members understand their benefit, their options, and how to use them effectively.

Clear Communication, Confident Decisions

Whether you’re buying your first home or you're an experienced investor, I stay accessible, explain your options and tradeoffs, and keep you informed from the initial conversation through closing & beyond.

An Advisor Beyond Closing

I approach every mortgage as an advisor, it's not simply just another transaction. I’m here as your needs change over time, I aim to be a trusted resource for you long after closing, and someone you’d feel comfortable recommending to a friend, family member, or coworker.

     Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Griffin made buying our first home so much less stressful. He was incredibly proactive, always checking in to see if we had questions, and took the time to explain everything in a way that actually made sense. The personalized videos he sent were so helpful because we could go back and watch them anytime. He was knowledgeable, responsive, and made us feel confident every step of the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better lender and would absolutely use him again and recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home!

Not only did he walk through other mortgage offers I had received, he beat the rates and the terms, and worked alongside my realtor and me the whole process. I couldn't have been happier and can't recommend him highly enough.

Meet Griffin

My name is Griffin, and I served four years as an Army Infantry Paratrooper. I loved serving my country, even if my fear of heights made being a paratrooper a little ironic. After being honorably discharged, I knew I still wanted a career centered around serving others. With a passion for helping people and a strong interest in real estate, becoming a Mortgage Loan Officer was a natural fit. Today, I’m proud to be part of the nation’s #1 VA mortgage broker, where I specialize in helping my fellow veterans and service members maximize their VA benefit while also serving first-time buyers, self-employed borrowers, and investors. My goal is simple: be the person you can rely on throughout the process and beyond. Buying a home is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll make, so I make communication and availability a priority. I’ll walk you through every step, explain your options, and make sure you have the information you need to make the best decision for your situation. My goal is to earn the kind of trust that keeps me as a resource for you, your family, and your friends whenever financing needs arise. I am licensed in North Carolina and Florida.

Why It Works

Access

As a senior loan officer, I have access to 130+ lenders and I shop on your behalf for competitive wholesale pricing. With less overhead than many traditional banks and large lenders, I can often help you avoid unnecessary fees and find a more cost-effective loan.

Understanding

No two borrowers are alike. I take the time to understand your goals, explain the tradeoffs clearly, and help you choose the right loan structure, rate, and term for your finances and long-term plans.

Availability

Mortgages do not always follow banking hours. I stay available, respond quickly, and communicate clearly so you are not left waiting when a question, decision, or deadline matters. Even if that means weekends or weeknights.
