A Loan Officer Who Actually Picks Up the Phone

You deserve someone who treats your mortgage like it matters — because it does. Here's what you get working with me.

Fast Pre-Approvals

🏔

Alaska Market Expert

I know Alaska lending — rural property quirks, USDA eligibility zones, VA loan specifics, and everything unique to our market.

📱

Always Reachable

Call, text, or email — I respond. You'll never wonder where your loan stands or feel left in the dark during the process.

Options for Every Situation

Whether you're buying, building, renovating, or refinancing — Cardinal Financial has a loan program for your situation.

1

Conventional Loans

As little as 3% down with competitive rates. Great for buyers with solid credit looking for flexibility.

2

FHA Loans

3.5% down with more forgiving credit requirements. Ideal for first-time homebuyers getting started.

3

VA Loans

Zero down payment for eligible veterans and active military. No PMI — ever. You served, you earned it.

4

USDA Loans

Zero down for eligible rural Alaska properties. More areas qualify than you'd think — let's check yours.

5

Refinance

Lower your rate, shorten your term, or cash out equity. Rate-and-term or cash-out options. Credit scores as low as 550.

6

Construction (One-Time Close)

Build your dream home — one loan, one closing for land, materials, and labor. 4 to 12-month builds. Cardinal handles draws in-house.

7

Renovation Loans

Roll renovation costs into your mortgage based on as-completed value. Use Home Depot, Lowe's, or Menards with EasyPath™ Reno.

8

Manufactured & Modular Homes

Most lenders have left this market — Cardinal hasn't. Flexible financing with MH Advantage™. Common in Mat-Su Valley.

9

Jumbo Loans

For high-value Alaska properties exceeding conforming limits. Borrow up to $1.5M+ with competitive rates. 10% minimum down.

10

Non-QM (Self-Employed)

Bank statement loans and flexible income verification for fishermen, contractors, oil workers, and small business owners.

11

Down Payment Assistance

Cardinal's programs help low-to-moderate income and first-time buyers cover down payment and closing costs.

12

Unique Homes

Tiny homes, container homes, barndominiums, and condos. Financing options most lenders don't offer. Full in-house condo team.

From Application to Keys in 4 Steps

No jargon, no runaround. Here's exactly what to expect.

1

Quick Consultation

We talk for 10 minutes. I learn your goals, run the numbers, and tell you exactly where you stand.

2

Pre-Approval

3

Loan Processing

I handle the paperwork, coordinate with your agent, and keep you updated every step of the way.

4

Close & Celebrate

Sign, get your keys, and move in. I'll make sure closing day is smooth and stress-free.
