🪖🏠I work like I still wear a uniform—early, honest, and no excuses. 🏠🪖

Hey, I’m Gary Bourgeois.
I’m a husband, dad, Army veteran with 23 years of service, and a mortgage loan officer. These days, you’ll find me helping families navigate the home buying process, especially those using their VA benefits or buying a home for the first time.

I believe in honesty, clear communication, and treating clients the way I’d want someone to treat my own family and friends. I work hard for my clients—answering questions, breaking things down simply, and making sure they feel confident every step of the way.

When I’m not working, I’m probably fixing something around the house, wrangling our cats, or heading to the hardware store… again.

You don’t have to know everything about the mortgage process—you just need someone who’s got your back.

I’m here to help you navigate the mortgage process with clarity and confidence.
Too easy.

🎖 Veterans & Service Members – Are You Missing Out on Your VA Loan Benefits? 🎖

I’ve met so many veterans who didn’t realize they qualified for a VA home loan—some even went through expensive financing options without knowing they had access to zero down payment, no PMI, and lower rates.

If you’re a prior service member, National Guard, or Reservist, don’t assume you don’t qualify! Check the slides to see if you do.

As a veteran myself, I know how powerful this benefit is, and I’m here to make sure you get the right information.

📩 DM me if you have questions or tag a veteran who should see this! 🇺🇸
