Eric Carson - Carson Home Team - First Coast Mortgage

Eric Carson - Carson Home Team - First Coast Mortgage We seek to deliver the promise of home ownership in
neighborhoods and communities across the United States. Who can you trust with your story?

The River City Group, powered by First Coast Mortgage Funding and comprised of Eric and Courtney Carson, serves all of Florida and Georgia. The River City Group believes that earning your trust is about learning your story and matching it with the mortgage that perfectly fits your life. Eric launched The River City Group out of a desire to bring a more holistic view of serving others into the mort

gage industry. A son of a teacher and a Navy Veteran, Eric grew up in rural Missouri in a town that still doesn’t have a stoplight. Eric’s upbringing reinforces his passion for helping homebuyers and homeowners from all walks of life, especially active and retired servicemembers. Eric came to the mortgage industry after spending over 20 years flying Fortune 500 CEOs, entertainers, and high net worth individuals around the world where there was no compromise to details and accuracy. Having moved across the country multiple times, Eric knows the importance of an effortless mortgage experience when relocating to another state, building a new home across town, or refinancing your current home. His teammate in both life and work, Courtney grew up in rural Missouri on a dairy farm and has a background in healthcare as a patient and family advocate. Now, she uses these skills to champion for customers in special or challenging circumstances daily. Courtney has moved with Eric from coast to coast over the years, giving her a keen sense to identify the needs of those relocating. Often, customers ask Courtney about how to get their family “plugged into the local area” as much as they ask about the loan process. Eric and Courtney have two children, two dogs, and strong ties to their community. Eric serves on the board of directors for a local youth sports league, and Courtney volunteers with local sports and religious organizations. Eric specializes in VA, Self-Employed, Jumbo, and Non-QM Mortgages, while Courtney specializes in FHA Loans, Down Payment Assistance Programs, and mortgages for medical professionals. Both are approved lenders for the Florida Housing Finance Corporation and Headstart 2 Homeownership. First Coast Mortgage Funding LLC

Too often we wait until a decision is forcing our hand before we even ask where we stand.

The people who seem ready aren't lucky. They just did the work before the pressure arrived. That applies to your finances, your career, your health, your relationships — all of it.

Preparation builds confidence. Awareness creates options.

The best time to figure out where you stand is before you need to know.

Hurricane season starts tomorrow and I showed up prepared.

You’ve got a better chance of getting stuck behind a ghost tour on St. George Street than dealing with a Cat 1.

That said, if you’re buying a home this summer, insurance conversations happen before closing — not after.

Let’s make sure you’re covered.

"Holy crap, that's fast!"

That was the actual text message we received from a client after we let them know their loan had already been reviewed and approved by underwriting.

The interesting part?

The client works for a major national bank.

When it came time for her own mortgage, the client chose The Carson Team instead of their employer.

Why?

Because a mortgage isn't just about getting a rate quote. It's about communication, strategy, availability, and having someone who treats your loan like it's the most important file on their desk.

Sometimes the biggest surprise isn't the approval.

It's how quickly things can move when the right team is behind you.

Summer travel + homebuying season = myth-busting time!

Our marketing guru sat down with me to tackle the questions YOU actually want answered…

Is there really a button in the cockpit that sprays chemicals in the air? (Asking for a friend 👀)

Does opening a new airline credit card tank your chances of buying a home?

Watch to find out the TRUTH — you might be surprised! 😄

Monday gets blamed for a lot.

But the people who grow businesses, build wealth, and create momentum see it differently.
Monday isn’t the obstacle. It’s the runway.

What you do today sets the tone for the conversations, opportunities, and results that follow the rest of the week.

Short answer. If you plan to stay five to seven years or more, buying often wins.

Why owning can be the better move:
• Payment stability. A fixed principal and interest payment can stay the same while rents change with the market.
• Equity growth. Every payment reduces principal and can build your net worth over time.
• Control. You choose upgrades, paint, pets, and improvements that support your lifestyle.
• Leverage. You control the whole home while only investing a portion up front.
What to check before you jump:
• Target payment that fits your life today and a few years out.
• Cash ready for down payment, closing costs, and a basic reserve.
• Time horizon long enough to let equity and appreciation work.

We will run a side by side using your numbers and show how owning compares to renting over the next seven years.

Message us with “Own,” and we will send the worksheet.
