Gary Burmeister First Coast Mortgage Funding
When it comes to mortgages, Gary Burmeister isn’t just a professional; he’s a Mortgage Broker, a title that underscores his expertise and commitment. Working with multiple lenders, Gary is adept at finding the most competitive loan options tailored to your needs. This approach, unlike that of a direct lender, allows Gary to shop the market on your behalf. The result? Better rates, fewer overlays, and loan programs that big-box lenders simply can’t match. Because of his flexibility, Gary can secure funding when other lenders have said no due to irregular income, self-employment, a low credit score, and other challenges that many buyers face.
I’ve been working with Gary since 2022. He is the in-office lender at EXIT 1 Stop Realty, so we see each other face-to-face more often than I do other lenders. Working with Gary and witnessing his attention to detail and ability to close complex contracts, he has more than earned my trust. With Gary, I have the advantage of often sitting down with him to discuss your file, receiving his undivided attention, which decreases the likelihood of mistakes due to miscommunication. Ensuring that your loan process meets the required milestones promptly and closes on time.
He specializes in a full range of loan solutions, including:
- VA Loans
- FHA Loans
- Conventional Loans
- VA/FHA/Conventional Renovation Loans
- Jumbo Financing
- First-Time Homebuyer Programs, including Down Payment Assistance (DPA), Bonds, and Grants
- Alternate Non-QM Loans (great for self-employed borrowers), such as:
- Bank Statement Loans
- Asset Qualifier Programs
- Self-Employed Income Solutions
- Doctor Loans
Whether you’re a veteran, a first-time buyer, or someone with non-traditional income, Gary is more than just a mortgage broker; he’s a trusted guide. His expertise and commitment make him a resource you can rely on to navigate the complex world of mortgages and guide you home with confidence.
Erin Shellenberger Planet Home Lending®
When it comes to home financing, Erin Shellenberger brings more than just mortgage expertise; she brings a deep commitment to the people she serves. As a Mortgage Loan Officer and proud military spouse, Erin understands the unique needs of service members, veterans, and first-time homebuyers better than most.
Unlike a mortgage broker who shops multiple lenders, Erin works directly for a specific lending institution, Loan Depot®, which allows her to offer highly personalized guidance and streamlined service within her lending network. But what truly sets Erin apart is her compassion, dedication, and her ability to simplify the process for those who may be navigating homeownership for the first time, or for the first time in a long time.
Erin and I go back years; our families were stationed together at Naval Air Station Atsugi, Japan, where our kids grew up side by side. I’ve seen firsthand her leadership, her heart for military families, and her gift for bringing people together. Now in Jacksonville, Erin continues to serve with that same heart, this time through lending.
She specializes in:
- VA Home Loans
- VA Renovation Loans
- First-Time Homebuyer Loans
- Down Payment Assistance Programs (DPA)
Whether you’re an active-duty service member, a veteran, or a first-time buyer in need of guidance, Erin brings both the professional skills and personal care you want in a lender. She’s someone I trust with my clients, and someone I’m proud to call a friend.
