Purchasing a luxury home in Phoenix often requires financing beyond standard mortgage limits. I specialize in Jumbo and Super-Jumbo mortgage loans for high-income professionals, physicians, and luxury homebuyers throughout the Phoenix metro area. Whether you’re buying in Arcadia, the Biltmore Corridor, North Phoenix, or Ahwatukee, I provide personalized guidance, flexible underwriting, and access to portfolio and non-QM options to match your financial profile.
A Jumbo mortgage is any home loan that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. In Maricopa County — which includes Phoenix — the conforming limit is currently around $806,500. Any loan above that threshold is considered Jumbo.
Phoenix’s luxury real estate market regularly features homes priced from $1M to $5M and beyond, making Jumbo financing a standard tool for buyers in desirable neighborhoods. Unlike conforming loans, Jumbo mortgages are not backed by government agencies and are underwritten by private lenders — which means more flexibility for high-income borrowers, but also stricter qualification requirements.
I specialize in navigating these requirements for Phoenix buyers, offering access to portfolio loans, non-QM options, and tailored programs that match your financial profile — not a one-size-fits-all standard.

Strong Credit Profile — Typically 700+ for standard Jumbo programs. Portfolio and non-QM options available for complex profiles.
Low Debt-to-Income Ratio — Most programs prefer DTI under 43%, though high-asset borrowers may qualify at higher ratios.
Significant Cash Reserves — 6–12 months of mortgage payments in reserves is typical. Asset-based programs can use investments and retirement accounts.
Stable, High Income — W-2, self-employed, and high-net-worth borrowers all qualify — documentation requirements vary by program.
Phoenix Property — Primary residences, second homes, and investment properties throughout the Phoenix metro area.
Pre-Qualification — Review your income, assets, property goals, and Phoenix neighborhood preferences.

Originally from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, I moved to Phoenix to attend Arizona State University and have proudly called Phoenix home ever since.
My journey into the mortgage industry began with a friend’s encouragement, who saw how my energy and people-first mindset could make a difference. He was right — I found my calling.
I’ve always embraced what makes me different. With ADHD as my secret weapon, I thrive in fast-paced, detail-heavy environments. I’ve built my career on clear communication, creative problem-solving, and putting clients first, always.
Outside of work, my greatest motivation is my wife and three amazing kids. I’d be honored to help guide you through your lending journey with care, clarity, and commitment.
