Karl began his mortgage career in 2016 and quickly became a key player in the industry by providing borrowers full control of their mortgage options and finding creative ways to provide solutions to his clients. By combining in-house processing and underwriting with communication that is the best in the business, you will experience a one-of-a-kind mortgage process whether buying or refinancing.
