Robert bought his first home when he was 18 years old. He understood at an early age that Real Estate is the best way to establish wealth. He was fascinated by the loan process, and he was convinced that more people need to understand the process of homeownership. After college, he became a Loan Officer with a fresh approach. He taught people how mortgages fit into their entire financial picture including debt, taxes, cash flow and investments. This was wildly successful, and he was promoted to Sales Manager, Division Manager, then VP within two years. Owning his first company at the age of 29, he trained his Loan Officers to focus on the client's best interest. They were Trusted Advisors, rather than salespeople. This approach created long time employees and lifetime clients.
After the mortgage crash, Robert started a Ladera Lending in his hometown of Ladera Ranch, CA where he lives with his wife and two children. It was supposed to be a small lender focusing on local business, but that was not the case. Robert had built a reputation of integrity and creating successful careers. When he started in Ladera, dozens of the top Mortgage Minds in Orange County sought out this new venture. Robert has now recruited the very best management team available and made Ladera Lending a national powerhouse lender!
