With a career spanning nearly two decades in the mortgage industry, Tony has built a reputation for trust, transparency, and putting clients first.

Unlike large corporate lenders where you are just a file number, working with Tony means you have a dedicated advisor who knows your name, understands your goals, and is personally invested in your success. He takes the time to explain every step of the mortgage process, ensuring you feel confident and informed from pre-approval through closing.

Tony's approach is refreshingly straightforward: listen first, educate second, and then explore options together. There are no high-pressure sales tactics and no rushing to close. The right loan at the right time matters more than any commission. This client-first philosophy has earned Tony the trust of hundreds of families across North Texas.

As a licensed mortgage loan originator operating under NMLS #114198, Tony maintains the regulatory standards and continuing education requirements mandated by both federal and Texas state lending authorities. He stays current on changes to loan programs, underwriting guidelines, and compliance requirements so that his clients receive accurate, up-to-date advice throughout the lending process.

Experience & Background

Serving North Texas Families Since 2006

Tony entered the mortgage industry in 2006, right before one of the most challenging periods in real estate history. Those early years taught him invaluable lessons about integrity, transparency, and the importance of doing right by clients—even when it's not the easy path. These principles continue to guide every client relationship today.

Over the years, Tony has worked with hundreds of families: first-time buyers nervous about the process, seasoned investors expanding their portfolios, and everyone in between. Each situation is unique, and he takes the time to understand your specific goals before recommending any solution. This personalized approach sets DFW Homes & Loans apart from one-size-fits-all lenders.

Whether you are exploring conventional loans, FHA programs, VA financing, or investment property options, Tony has the expertise to guide you through the process. His deep knowledge of the local Celina and North DFW market means you benefit from insights that out-of-area lenders simply cannot provide.

Tony has guided buyers through shifting interest rate environments, changing down payment assistance programs, and evolving underwriting standards. This breadth of experience means he can anticipate potential hurdles before they arise and structure your application to give you the strongest possible position. He understands that every transaction represents a family's future, and he treats each one with the care and attention it deserves.

Clients We Work With

Who DFW Homes & Loans Serves

DFW Homes & Loans works with a wide range of borrowers across North DFW, each with distinct needs and goals. Tony tailors his guidance to fit your specific situation rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach.

First-time homebuyers make up a significant portion of our clients. Many are young professionals and families moving to Celina, Prosper, or Frisco for the quality schools and growing communities. Tony walks first-time buyers through every step, from understanding how much house they can afford to explaining closing costs, escrow accounts, and what to expect on move-in day. Programs like FHA loans with lower down payment requirements and conventional loans with competitive rates are common starting points for these buyers.

Move-up buyers who have outgrown their current home often need guidance on coordinating the sale of an existing property with the purchase of a new one. Tony helps these clients understand bridge financing options, how existing equity can be leveraged, and the timing considerations that come with buying and selling simultaneously in active markets like McKinney and Frisco.

Homeowners considering a refinance work with Tony to evaluate whether a rate-and-term refinance or cash-out refinance makes sense based on their current loan terms, remaining balance, and financial objectives. Not every refinance saves money once closing costs are factored in, and Tony provides an honest analysis so you can make an informed decision.

Real estate investors rely on Tony for financing on rental properties, DSCR loans, and multi-unit acquisitions. Investor lending has unique underwriting requirements, and Tony's experience with these programs helps investors structure deals that meet lender guidelines while supporting their portfolio growth strategy.

Trust & Transparency

What You Can Expect When Working With Tony

Every client deserves honesty, clarity, and dedicated service. Here's what guides my approach to helping you achieve homeownership.

Education First

I believe informed borrowers make better decisions. Every conversation starts with understanding your goals and explaining your options in plain language.

Clear Communication

No jargon, no surprises. I keep you updated at every step and am always available to answer your questions—whether it's your first call or your fiftieth.

Responsive Service

Time matters in real estate. I pride myself on fast responses, proactive updates, and staying ahead of potential issues before they become problems.

Honest Guidance

My job is to find the right loan for your situation, not to push a product. Sometimes that means recommending you wait, save more, or explore other options.
