Can anyone else say they have an employee who was just recently a pacer in the Cedar Rapids Marathon for a finish of 3 hours and 20 minutes?? So impressive!

Meet Khris!

As an Iowa City native, Khris is passionate about serving the community he calls home. One of the things he enjoys most about RMN is being part of a family-owned, local business that values relationships, supports the community, and always puts clients first. Surrounded by a team of friendly, knowledgeable people who genuinely love what they do, he's proud to help homebuyers navigate one of life's biggest milestones.

When he's not helping clients, you can usually find Khris training for his next marathon or ultra-marathon, traveling to a new destination, or spending a day on the golf course.

We're grateful to have Khris on the RMN team!

I heard two stories last week about VA loans going sideways—not because of the VA program itself, but because of who was handling the loan behind the scenes.

The truth is, VA loans are one of the best mortgage products available. When problems happen, it’s often not the loan program that’s the issue—it’s the process, communication, or experience of the team managing it.

We get it right! Let’s talk.

There's no such thing as oversharing with your lender about your income. If you have gotten pre-approved from another lender and they did NOT ask you for your paystubs or W2s, that's a red flag. We like to know all the information upfront so you can better help you and make the process as smooth as possible.

Quarterly reminder…

SAY NO to afterpay programs.

This includes Klarna, Sezzle, Affirm, Layaway…etc.

They don’t do your credit any favors, and they create more work for you as the buyer!

June is National Homeownership Month, and there’s a lot of noise out there about what it takes to buy a home.

Most people are getting advice based on outdated assumptions, headlines, or myths.

What actually matters is having a clear plan, real numbers, and a lender who does the work upfront, so there are no surprises later.

If homeownership has been on your mind, this is your sign to start the conversation.

Email, call or text me for a consultation!

We've heard two stories recently of local lenders struggling with VA loans—not because there was anything wrong with the VA program, but because the lender didn't handle VA loans often or was brokering them out to a third party.

Here's the truth: VA loans are one of the best mortgage programs available, but they require a lender who understands the guidelines and works with them every day.

At RMN, we process, underwrite, and close VA loans right here in-house. That means faster communication, fewer surprises, and a team that knows how to navigate the program correctly from start to finish.

We love working with first time home buyers! It’s actually a pleasure when we can “surprise” them with our simple process. We’ve had first time home buyers tell us after the fact, “That was so much easier than I thought it was going to be thanks to you!”
