Take the "hassle" out of shopping for a loan and let Tom do it for you! He has over twenty different lenders to choose from for your loan.
When you search for a lender to finance your new home; aren't you looking for a loan officer you can trust? With so much mortgage shopping done on the internet and over the phone, do you ever wonder: "Can I trust what this person is telling me or can I trust what's here online?" or "Will the loan terms be different when I get to the closing table?"
Local accountability in this market and longevity in the mortgage business are two of Tom's traits that have placed him as one of Tampa Bay's most trusted mortgage advisors.
Over the years, Tom has financed many customers through the same bank that they currently bank with, because he could get a lower interest rate than they could get going directly to their own bank! As a mortgage broker (wholesale lending) there is less overhead expense, and consequently, those savings are passed on to you in the form of lower interest rates. Which would you rather pay, wholesale or retail?
"I thank you for the opportunity to serve you in your financing needs and look forward to hearing from you!" – Tom

Linda Beckman | linda@mortgageam.com
Linda Beckman has been a Senior Loan Officer with Mortgage Corporation of America since 2000. Prior to joining the MCA team, she was a loan officer with Bank of America Mortgage for 4 years. What Linda would like you to know about her is that it is not about her. It is about you, and what you are looking for in a lender and a mortgage. Other than experience, there's not that much about a company or a lender that many other mortgage companies couldn't offer as well. Most lending institutions have access to the same rates and programs. Nor is it customer service. Excellent customer care is a minimum requirement. What really sets Linda apart from others in the field is the method by which borrower's loan requirements are the first and most important step in the process. Suggesting a product without determining the borrower's needs is irresponsible and can have far-reaching consequences. Linda wants her clients to know the products she suggests for the them are individually tailored to fit their financial needs, taking into acount both their current and their future financial goals. If your current lender isn't this thorough, maybe there is an opportunity for Linda.
Knowing realtors and borrowers often find the perfect property at night or on weekends, Linda is available to answer questions, run the numbers, do pre-qualifications, or take applications at the borrower's convenience. Streamlining the application process is a company manifesto, and with MCA's seasoned support staff and state-of-the-art technology, what used to be a long and drawn-out process is easier and faster than you would expect. Automated underwriting can now deliver a loan decision within minutes.
"Lending to the Nicest People" – Linda
