MORTGAGE BANKING I originate mortgages with NewCastle Home Loans in Chicago, servicing 10 states, and I specialize in refinances and first-time homebuyers. My expertise is in showing you the best decision for loan, rate, term, cost, and payment. I evaluate the tax consequences, and recommend clients to tax attorneys, CPAs, financial planners, and investment advisors when appropriate. I can recommend firms to improve your FICO score so you can achieve a lower rate or be approved. At NewCastle, our company originates, approves, closes, and funds your loan. We have access to the top 20 national lenders, and that satisfies all needs including A paper, Alt-A, and FHA. Specialties: NewCastle is a HUD Direct Endorsement Underwriter.
