The Shields Mortgage Team has helped hundreds of families get into their dream home. Contact me today and let’s get started making your home-ownership dreams come true!

I’m proud to say that I’ve lived in the Greater Columbus area my whole life. I have an extensive knowledge of downtown Columbus, the surrounding areas and all they have to offer. I love helping Buyers, Sellers and Investors find their dream homes and future projects! That’s why I work with each client individually, taking the time to understand their unique lifestyles, needs and wishes.

I like to take a different approach to Mortgages & Real Estate, one that is built on personal touches, win-win details and positive results. When working together I will utilize the latest technologies, market research and business strategies to exceed your expectations. More importantly, I listen, and that means we find solutions that are tailored to you. So if you are buying, selling, or investing in property or know of anyone that is, I would love to help!!

I have worked in the real estate world in one way or another since 1999. Whether it has been as a loan officer or a real estate agent, I have helped with over $45 million dollars in sales.

As an experienced mortgage banker, I understand everyone’s financial situation is different and should be treated as such. I am committed to providing my customers with mortgage services that exceed their expectations. I have the knowledge and expertise you need to make the right choice for you and your family. I hope you’ll check out our website, look through the different loan programs we have to offer, and use USA Mortgage’s secure online application to start the journey towards your new home.

I am an honest, hardworking, loyal and caring Loan Officer, Husband, and Father. I love to help people, to solve problems, and to build relationships. But most importantly, I love to laugh and have fun with everyone I interact with daily. Life is short, so I have to enjoy it.

Why would someone want to work with me, as a customer or a referral partner? Well, regardless of which one of those you are, my goal is to keep my customers for my entire career, not just through one successful transaction. And in order to achieve an aggressive goal like that, you need to be a person who cares about the details, the thank you cards, the birthdays, the holidays, the anniversaries, and whatever events to make note of that give me a personal reason to contact my customers throughout the years to show them that I care. That’s me, that is what I do, and that’s why people want to stay with me. My customers appreciate my always thorough analysis, and they love that I provide them with options that I explain in detail, always checking for their understanding, so that they can make a truly comfortable decision. And for that, you can be 100% confident that my customers are in great hands.
