🏡 **A New Chapter for Our Business!**

After nearly two years of proudly serving our community as Motto Mortgage Community Partners, I'm excited to officially introduce **Ozarks Mortgage Group, powered by NEXA Lending!**

With Motto Mortgage's decision to wind down its franchise operations, the time has come for a new chapter. While this change wasn't originally part of the plan, I believe that sometimes unexpected circumstances open the door to exciting new opportunities.

Owning and operating Motto Mortgage Community Partners has been an incredible experience. I've learned a tremendous amount, built lasting relationships, and had the privilege of helping families throughout Missouri achieve their homeownership goals.

**So, what does this mean for you?**

Simply put, it's a new name and a new lending platform, but the same person and commitment you've come to know and trust.

Through Ozarks Mortgage Group, I'll continue offering a wide variety of mortgage solutions, including VA, FHA, USDA, conventional, refinancing, and investment property loans. Partnering with NEXA Lending gives me access to the resources and flexibility to continue finding solutions that fit each client's unique needs.

As a veteran and someone whose roots run deep here in Southwest Missouri, I'm proud to continue building a business centered around honesty, personal service, and doing what's right for the people I serve.

To everyone who supported Motto Mortgage Community Partners, whether you were a client, Realtor partner, friend, or family member, **thank you!** Your trust, referrals, and encouragement have meant more than you know.

I'm proud of what we accomplished, and I'm excited to see what the future holds for Ozarks Mortgage Group!

**New Name. New Opportunities. Same Commitment.**

Just closed on 115 McVey Dr in Chadwick.

Real estate is kind of crazy when you really think about it. You’re spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on a home and trusting people you may have never even met in person.

These buyers were moving from Arizona to Missouri. They had never been here, had never met me, and the first time we actually met face-to-face was at the closing table.

Everything leading up to that point was built through phone calls, texts, transparency, communication, and doing business the right way. Earning someone’s trust from hundreds of miles away with one of the biggest financial decisions they’ll make is something I don’t take lightly.

This was also my second closing with Zach Peters of eXp Realty, and once again he was great to work with. I appreciate the communication, teamwork, and effort he put into getting this family across the finish line.

Congratulations to these buyers on their new home and their move from Arizona to Missouri. Welcome to the Ozarks!

Another VA loan closed today for a Veteran.

As a Veteran myself, helping fellow Veterans understand and use the VA home loan benefit is something I take a lot of pride in. VA loans are one of my specialties, and I enjoy helping Veterans navigate the process and make sure they understand the benefits they’ve earned.

Whether you’re buying your first home, moving into your next one, or just want to see what your VA eligibility may allow you to do, I’m always happy to help.

If you’re a Veteran, active-duty service member, or eligible surviving spouse and want to see what you may qualify for, reach out to me and let’s go over your options.

Proud to keep helping those who served become homeowners.

The VA loan is one of the most powerful home financing tools available to qualifying Veterans.

For eligible borrowers, VA financing can offer benefits like 0% down, competitive interest rates, no monthly private mortgage insurance, and flexible qualification options. But just as important as the loan itself is working with someone who understands how to use it correctly.

As a fellow Veteran, I understand the VA loan process from both sides. I know the questions Veterans have, the benefits they have earned, and how important it is to work with someone who knows the guidelines and can keep the process moving.

I am also local to the Springfield area, so you are not dealing with a call center or someone hundreds of miles away. You are working with a local mortgage broker who understands the market, works with multiple lenders, and is here to help you through the entire process.

Another Veteran just closed on their new home using their VA benefit with 0% down.

If you are a Veteran, active-duty service member, or surviving spouse and want to know what your VA benefit may allow you to do, I would be happy to help.

Closed another VA loan for a veteran, and this was a really good one.

The entire process went incredibly smooth, and by combining the VA home loan benefit they earned through their service with the right strategy when making the offer, they were able to purchase their home with essentially $0 out of pocket.

That is one of the reasons I enjoy working with VA buyers so much. The benefit itself is powerful, but knowing how to structure the deal and use it correctly can make a huge difference.

There are still a lot of veterans who either do not realize what their VA loan benefit can do or have been given bad information about how difficult VA loans are.

It was great getting another veteran into a home and helping them take full advantage of a benefit they earned.

Buying a home in Missouri is about more than finding a house you love and asking, “Can I afford the payment?”

Your budget should also account for property taxes, homeowners insurance, utilities, routine maintenance, and the occasional unexpected repair.

The goal should not be to qualify for the highest purchase price possible. The goal should be to find a comfortable payment that still leaves room to enjoy your life after closing.

Before touring homes, talk with a local mortgage professional and review the complete financial picture. Knowing your estimated payment, cash needed at closing, available loan programs, and realistic price range can save you time and help you shop with confidence.

A little preparation before you start looking can make the entire Missouri homebuying process easier. Give us a call today to discuss what options you have.
