About Chris

Hi, I’m Chris! Purchasing a home is a wonderful experience, and my goal is to guide you through your homebuying journey by providing answers to your questions and personalized advice along the way. I’ve helped families purchase their dream homes since 2002 and am an expert in a wide variety of loans, including:

  • Conventional
  • Home equity
  • Renovation
  • Refinance
  • Jumbo
  • FHA
  • VA

Every day, I help my clients get approved for purchases. For some, it’s their dream home. While for others, it may be their first home. I even help individuals build their portfolios with investment properties. My team and I understand that home financing is a personal process, and we’re excited to learn about your goals, find the right home loan for you, and get you to closing on time.

I’m honored to be named one of the Top 1% of Loan Originators in America since 2015 and the top loan officer in my Houston, TX branch of America's #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.

Buying now means saving later

 

Don't fixate on rate

Get the home you want now. If rates fall in the future, you can refinance to the lower rate after 6 full payments. And, with a lender credit of up to $1,500*, you'll save upfront and thousands down the line.
