After You Send a Buyer
What Happens the Day You Text Me
01
You Text Me a Name
A name and a number is enough. Add the price range and the timing if you know them.

Why I Work This Way
I Have Run a Brokerage
Before lending, I co-owned Ten Oaks Real Estate and grew it to 330 agents across several states before it was sold to a national firm.
I know what a contract date means to your seller, to your buyer and to you. I know what it costs you when a lender goes quiet, and I know you have other lenders. This page is how I earn the next buyer.
No handoffs. No call centers. You deal with me from the first text to the closing table.
Closing Dates
The Contract Date Is the Date I Work Back From
On every file, the closing date in your contract sets the schedule. Here is how the file gets there:
Before the offer. The application is complete and reviewed before I issue a pre-approval, so the file is ready the day the contract arrives.
Underwriting. Submitted within three days of the contract, usually one to two.
Closing Disclosure. Sent early, often two weeks or more before closing, so the three-day waiting period never puts the date at risk.
Closing day. The date on your contract.
If anything threatens that date, you hear it from me. The listing agent gets a lender who calls back the same day, and you get word from me when something moves.
My Record
I have never missed a closing date.
Range
Everyday Files, Matched to the Right Lender
A bank has one set of guidelines. I have access to more than 30 lenders and shop every file to find the one whose guidelines fit it, from a first-time buyer to the files banks send back.
First-Time Buyers
FHA and conventional loans, including down payment assistance programs.
VA Buyers
Purchases for veterans and service members, with VA eligibility confirmed up front.
Self-Employed Buyers
K-1s, S-corps and pass-through income, read the way an underwriter reads them.
Jumbo Purchases
Assets and reserves reviewed up front on high-balance files.
Buyers With a Home to Sell
Move-up and contingent purchases, with the financing planned around both closings.
Investors
Rentals and second homes, including DSCR loans that qualify on the property’s rent.
Loan types I have closed: conventional, FHA, VA, non-QM, jumbo, DSCR and down payment assistance. Program details are on the Loan Programs page.
The Hand-Off
A Text You Can Forward to Your Buyer
A buyer who is expecting my call picks up. Send them this when you text me their name, then leave the rest to me.
Copy it as it is or change what you like.

From Agents
Agents Who Have Closed With Me
“RL is the lender I send my buyers to, FHA and conventional alike. I never have to chase him for an update, and my buyers hear from him the day I pass along their name. One of them closed eleven days after I sent him over.”
Kristin – Compass – Franklin, TN
“RL has closed a seven-figure purchase, VA and FHA loans, and a non-QM purchase for my clients. He finds the lender that fits the file. My clients go back to him when it’s time to refinance or buy again.”
Brandon – RE/MAX – Franklin, TN
“Both buyers I sent RL were purchases over a million dollars, and one closed the week between Christmas and New Year’s. I knew where each file stood the whole way. I have sent him more buyers since.”
William – Compass – Nashville, TN
