I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Randy! One of my biggest passions is giving back. It takes a village to make a difference, and I want to do my part to make the world a better place for everyone. Building community and helping individuals achieve their homeownership dreams is one way I’m able to do that. I truly love working with clients to answer their questions and provide consistent communication—from application to closing and into the future.
I’ll start by discussing your specific circumstances to offer the mortgage options best suited to you. I’ll provide information on every aspect of the home financing process and each home loan program available. Whether conventional or jumbo, FHA or VA, we’ll find the product to make your dreams a reality.
From pre-approval to closing and beyond, I’ll make sure you know what’s happening with your mortgage and answer your questions along the way. I look forward to providing you with an outstanding home loan experience at the Madison, WI branch of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
-
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
