Chris LaRose
Knowledge is power, especially when financing real estate! Chris and his team strive to educate every client, allowing them to decide which financing option best fits their needs. This dedicated approach has resulted in most of his client referrals coming from experienced Real Estate Agents, past clients, financial advisors, friends, and family.
Chris' experience dates back to 2000 when he was hired to work within the mortgage
division of a prominent bank. Since then, he has gained invaluable experience working for wholesale investors, mortgage brokers, federally chartered banks, and direct lenders, all of which have allowed Chris to gain an in-depth perspective
regarding the inner workings of the mortgage lending industry.
