My parents were successful agents working throughout Huntington Beach and my uncle has managed several local mortgage companies throughout the past twenty five years. I’ve been around the business for many years, and have always known I wanted to be a part of it.” His enthusiasm has shaped Brett’s business, propelling him in his relationship-driven approach and motivating him to consistently offer an exceptional level of client care. His focus, he says, remains firmly fixed on accomplishing each individual’s unique long-and short-term goals. “I love structuring financial plans,” he asserts. “My business isn’t transactional; I’m not just providing a mortgage. Instead, I partner with CPAs and financial planners to assist clients in preparing for their futures.” Brett is a solution-oriented mortgage banker who works with new home purchase loans as well as refinances. His ample product knowledge and communicative style have earned him the trust and respect of consumers, real estate professionals and industry specialists alike.
