About Len

Hi, I’m Len, and I entered the mortgage industry in 1983. My career began after graduating from Montclair State University when I went into real estate sales and management with The Berg Agency, where I remained for ten years. Over the course of my career, I’ve worked with several large mortgage companies as a loan officer, branch manager, and area sales manager. 

As a dedicated loan officer at the Montvale, NJ branch of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I offer extensive experience with a wide variety of mortgage products. In the last 20 years, I’ve become an expert on reverse mortgages. I enjoy helping all of my clients find the right financing for their goals – and even more so with seniors, because I can help borrowers with fixed incomes using innovative financial solutions. 

Licensed in New Jersey, New York, and Florida, I look forward to discussing your goals and creating a plan to achieve them.

A homeowner with a child on his lap calculating whether to buy a new home or refinance his home loan

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.
