I'm headed to Jacksonville this October for the 2026 Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals National Convention!
VAREP has been a big part of my journey over the years. It's given me the opportunity to serve veterans, advocate for sustainable homeownership, build relationships with professionals across the country, and stay connected to a mission I care deeply about.

One of the things I enjoy most about the National Convention is bringing together people who are passionate about serving the veteran community. Veterans, real estate professionals, lenders, housing advocates, and industry partners all in one place, sharing ideas, learning from each other, and finding new ways to make an impact.

If you're involved in real estate, mortgage lending, or veteran housing, this is an event worth attending.

📍 Jacksonville, FL
📅 October 25-27, 2026
If you're planning to be there, shoot me a text at 812-225-1940. I'd love to connect. - Chris

Mortgage rates don’t move in a vacuum. 👀

What’s happening in the bond market matters, even if you never follow bonds yourself.

Inflation concerns, growing government debt, and movement in global bond yields can all put pressure on borrowing costs, including mortgage rates.

In this Reel, I break down the connection and why it matters if buying a home is somewhere on your radar.

You don’t need to become a bond market expert. You just need someone in your corner who understands what’s moving the market and can help you make sense of your options.

Questions about rates or your homebuying game plan? Give me a call.

Wait… I have my own MONTH?! 😂 Hello, September!!

Nobody tell my wife and kids. I’m about to become absolutely unbearable.

“Sorry, can’t take the trash out. It’s National Mortgage Professionals Month.”
“Dad, can you drive me somewhere?”
“Please respect the month.” 😂

All jokes aside, September is National Mortgage Professionals Month, celebrating the people who help turn “maybe someday” into move-in day.

I’m grateful I get to play a small role in some pretty BIG life moments. Helping people, especially Veterans and first-time buyers, find their way home never gets old.

Now, if you need me, I’ll be celebrating my month accordingly. I assume there’s cake involved. 🎂🏡

REALTORS: Got a deal that needs a second set of eyes? Call me at 812-225-1940.

Some of my favorite conversations start with, “Chris, I’ve got a weird one for you.”

Maybe we need to look at the financing differently. Maybe there’s a way to strengthen the offer. Maybe the buyer hit an obstacle and we need to figure out the next move.

Bring me the tough questions, unusual scenarios, and deals that need some creative thinking.

One conversation could uncover an option worth exploring.

Buying a home shouldn’t start with you trying to figure everything out on your own.

Confused about where to begin?
Stressed about the process?
Not sure what you can afford or what your options even are?

Start with the right Loan Officer.

Someone experienced. Someone who will explain things in plain English. Someone who will look at your situation, help you understand your options, and build a game plan with you.

That’s what I’m here for.

Whether you’re buying your first home, using your VA benefit, or you’ve been told “no” before, a conversation can help you understand what’s possible and what your next move should be.

You don’t have to have it all figured out before you call me. That’s my job.
