1447 York Road, Suite 400, Timonium, MD 21093
After spending years as an accountant, I discovered my true passion wasn’t just in crunching numbers—it was about helping people truly understand them. Now, as a Loan Officer, I focus on empowering individuals and families to navigate the path to homeownership with clarity and confidence.
I believe every loan tells a story—one of dreams, challenges, and new beginnings. My mission is to make the homebuying process less intimidating by breaking down complex financial concepts into simple, actionable steps while uncovering opportunities to maximize the use of my clients’ money. My goal is for every client to feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
I pride myself on being a true partner in the homebuying process—working closely with realtors and clients to craft competitive offers that get accepted. My support doesn’t end at the closing table. Through our post-closing client concierge team, I help connect clients with trusted financial services professionals to support their long-term financial goals.
By prioritizing clear communication and a people-first approach, I work hard to provide tailored mortgage solutions that meet my clients’ unique needs. Whether I’m helping someone buy their first home or refinance their existing mortgage, I’m dedicated to improving financial literacy and enhancing the well-being of the people I serve.

Our loan officer, Amber Vaziri, was an incredible guide, walking us through every step and patiently answering our many questions. They were always available, responding to our requests and inquiries promptly, which was invaluable during such an important time. This level of communication and personal attention made a huge difference.
DMI went above and beyond to ensure we understood our options and helped us secure the best possible deal for our situation. The level of professionalism, expertise, and genuine care we received was truly exceptional.
1. Advocating for us - When working with would-be sellers, Direct Mortgage was proactive in supporting us with pre-approval letters, turning these around quickly. They would answer any questions from the sellers; I never worried about Direct Mortgage being slow to respond. Their team vouched for us as buyers, which gave us strong offer packages, and contributed to our success.
2. Sophisticated use of data and technology - The emails we received from Direct Mortgage were helpful without being overbearing; their online portal was easy to navigate. When doing an initial consultation and in later calls, Hillary showed us how our different numbers (loan interest rate, down payment, number of points, etc.) would result in our different final package, timeline for breaking even, etc; this was very different than the approach other lenders took. As first time home buyers, it helped educate us and inform us about our options, so we could make the right decisions for us.
3. Hillary was responsive the whole time. We had tons of questions and what-if scenarios we wanted to understand, and Hillary answered all of these, showing her expertise and excellent communication. Whether on the phone, email, or a quick text, Hillary provided us the information needed in a friendly and professional manner.
Whether you’re a first-time borrower or not, Andy is someone you can trust to guide you through the process with professionalism and ease. I truly appreciated the personalized attention and dedication they provided—if you need a loan officer who’s got your back, look no further!
The Application was very simple to navigate.
Thank you!
His expertise and professionalism were evident from our very first conversation. Joe took the time to explain every detail, ensuring we fully understood our options and what to expect. He was always available to answer our questions and provide guidance, making us feel supported every step of the way.
Thanks to Joe's diligence and commitment, we were able to secure our mortgage quickly and confidently. His proactive approach and attention to detail made a significant difference, and we truly felt like we were in the best hands.
We can’t recommend Joe highly enough to anyone looking for a lender who will prioritize your needs and work tirelessly for your success. Thank you, Joe, for helping us achieve our dream of homeownership without a hitch!
