A Mortgage Professional Who Has Personally Navigated Real Estate Ownership
With over a decade in the mortgage industry, Louie has had the privilege of guiding hundreds of families through one of the biggest decisions of their lives. Whether buying a first home, refinancing, or exploring investment opportunities, Louie brings a deep understanding of the lending process, a commitment to clear communication, and a genuine passion for finding creative solutions that fit each client's unique goals.
Louie is also a multifamily real estate investor — which means when you sit across from him, you are not just talking to a loan officer.

That hands-on perspective shapes every conversation he has.
Outside of work, Louie is a proud husband and dad. He knows firsthand what it means to search for a place to truly call home — and that is exactly why he shows up for every client the way he does.
