Scott Modeer, NMLS #258368

Scott Modeer, NMLS #258368 My name is Scott Modeer and I have 20+ years of experience in residential lending. I have spent my entire working life in real estate one way or another.

My name is Scott Modeer and I am a Owner & Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO) and I can help. I have an extensive background in construction and also in commercial real estate. I have spent the last 19 years in residential mortgage finance. Your home buying or refinancing needs are as unique as you, probably with many long-term goals and even more day-to-day financial demands. So where do you start? A

s a MLO, I will meet with you face to face ( or if the phone is more convenient we can do that too) to discuss your home buying needs. This is your financial future and a big investment and should not be left to chance. After I understand what's important to you and why, I will work with you to ensure we get the best mortgage loan and competitive pricing that fits your financial situation. I have found my true niche in Real Estate. I love what I do and I love my clients. When not working on loans I like to travel and occasionally get involved in a small construction project.
