Tucson’s ultra-luxury real estate market is defined by custom-built desert estates, private golf-course retreats, and ranchland properties that command prices well beyond conventional financing thresholds. If you’re purchasing in Stone Canyon, Pima Canyon Estates, Tanque Verde Valley, or the higher reaches of the Catalina Foothills, you likely need Super-Jumbo financing — and you need a lender who understands the nuances of complex, high-value transactions.
I specialize in multi-million-dollar mortgage financing for ultra-high-net-worth buyers in Tucson, offering asset-based programs, portfolio loans, and discreet, personalized service throughout the entire process. Whether your income is complex, your assets are substantial, or your deal is simply too large for conventional channels, I have the tools and experience to deliver.
A Super-Jumbo mortgage typically refers to loans of $1.5 million and above — well beyond the Pima County conforming loan limit of approximately $806,500 and above the standard Jumbo threshold. These loans are used to finance Tucson’s most prestigious properties: custom estates in the Catalina Foothills, large-parcel desert retreats in the Tanque Verde Valley, private golf-course homes in Stone Canyon, and resort-style villas in Ventana Canyon.
Super-Jumbo loans are not backed by government agencies and are typically held in a lender’s own portfolio — which means underwriting standards are more flexible, but qualification requires a thorough review of your complete financial picture. For the right borrower, these programs offer extraordinary access to capital with highly personalized terms.

Pima Canyon Estates (Catalina Foothills) — One of Tucson's most coveted addresses, with contemporary custom homes perched in the mountains above the city, offering unobstructed panoramic views and ultimate privacy. Trophy properties in this corridor regularly exceed $3M–$5M+.

Super-Jumbo qualification is highly individualized — these are directional benchmarks, not hard rules. Every client is reviewed holistically.
Substantial Net Worth or Assets — Asset-based programs can use investment portfolios, retirement accounts, real estate equity, or other substantial assets for qualification — ideal for buyers with non-traditional income.
Strong or Complex Income — W-2, business ownership, consulting, passive income, or a combination — I work with diverse income structures to identify the right program.
Exceptional Property Profile — The property itself matters in Super-Jumbo underwriting. Custom appraisals, private inspections, and property-specific review are part of the process.
Discretion and Privacy — Many Super-Jumbo clients prefer to limit the number of parties involved in their transaction. I operate with confidentiality as a priority throughout.
Confidential Consultation — A private conversation to understand your financial profile, property goals, and timeline.
Program Identification — I identify the best portfolio, asset-based, or alternative documentation program for your situation.
Documentation & Underwriting — A thorough, efficient process designed for complex borrower profiles.
Approval & Terms — Personalized rate and term structure, reviewed in detail before you commit.
Closing & Funding — Smooth, on-time closing for your Tucson ultra-luxury property.
Super-Jumbo loans generally begin at $1.5 million, though the threshold can vary by lender and program. In Tucson, this covers a significant portion of the top-tier luxury market — particularly in the Catalina Foothills, Stone Canyon, and Tanque Verde Valley.
Yes. Asset-based qualification programs allow you to leverage investment portfolios, retirement accounts, or other liquid and semi-liquid assets to meet income documentation requirements — without needing traditional pay stubs or tax returns.
Yes. One-Time Close Construction financing is available at the Super-Jumbo level for qualifying projects and borrowers. This is particularly relevant for large-scale custom builds in the Catalina Foothills, Oro Valley, and Tanque Verde Valley.
Super-Jumbo closings typically require 45–60 days due to the complexity of underwriting, custom appraisals, and documentation review. I work to streamline the process without compromising the thoroughness that protects you.
Discretion is a priority throughout. I limit unnecessary third-party involvement, communicate securely, and work with a small, trusted team. High-net-worth clients can expect the same level of confidentiality they'd expect from any professional advisor.
Ultra-luxury financing deserves an ultra-personalized approach. Schedule a confidential consultation today and let’s discuss what’s possible.
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.
