Many mortgage originators you speak with actually work for a specific bank or mortgage lender whose profit interests come before your needs. We’re independent brokers who work for you and your interests. We partner with several lenders which gives us and edge in finding you the best rates and terms for your loan. We advocate with underwriters to make sure they fully understand all of your income and asset documents and special circumstances. Most importantly, we don’t earn a fee unless your loan closes so our incentives are aligned with yours.

When you call us you are talking to only one mortgage expert who guides your loan application through the entire process from beginning to end. We take time to get to know you. We are also available the hours that you need us, whether it’s at 7:00 in the morning or 10:00 in the evening, we are there for our clients when they need us, not just during office or call center hours.

Our easy online application process is fully secured and means that you don’t have to meet us at an office to sign reams of papers. Most of our documents can be e-signed and additional documents can be scanned and emailed to us. You can do almost everything you need to from wherever your computer is; home, work, your favorite coffee shop or craft brewery.

Your personal information is fully secured. By law, any personal information you share with us is strictly confidential – we can’t even share it with your real estate agent or attorney. In addition we do not sell or share your information with any other company or business.

A large percentage of our clients are self-employed. We work with you to make sure you understand how an underwriter will review your income and tax returns. We often will speak with underwriters before submitting the loan application to make sure that documents you provide will be acceptable or to find out what additional documentation may be necessary.

Unlike national banks and online lenders, we are located in Florida and always contributing to our community. We have participated in many non-profit organizations by sitting on their boards, sponsoring events and donating time and money to make our community a better, more vibrant place to live and work. A quick list of some of our favorites include Friends of Broward Homeless, The American Heart Association, Florida Children’s Theater, Island City Stage ( We LOVE theater), Leadership Broward, City of Hollywood Planning and Zoning Board, AIDS Walk, SunServe, The Greater Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The Greater Ft. Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce

First Southeast Mortgage has been in business for 35 years. Few in the mortgage industry can claim that kind of longevity and experience. We have survived the ups and downs of the real estate market by staying focused on our clients and their needs, not chasing quick profits.
