Brandon comes from an established real estate and new home construction family business and remembers helping his dad on job sites as a kid. He’s been in and around the mortgage industry a decade and this back ground really helps him customize the best option for each client. There is not a “one size fits all” program out there so it’s important to discover and know all of the available options for a client so they can make the most informed decision when choosing their mortgage loan. Brandon enjoys catching Pokemon with his two boys Peyton and Parker and sitting down to tea and a picnic with his little girl Kinley. Brandon and his family live in the growing town of Waxhaw.
