I’m TC Strait. Mortgage Loan Officer. Mason, Ohio. NMLS #164070.

I got into mortgages in 2002 after a friend talked me into a career change. That was over 20 years ago. I never left. About 10 years in, the company owner retired and gave me partial ownership.

What I do
Residential mortgages. Purchases and refinances. That’s it.
I’m an independent broker, which means I shop your loan across 30+ wholesale lenders instead of being stuck with one bank’s product lineup. Most clients walk away with a lower rate and lower monthly payment than they’d get at their local bank.
Loan types I originate:

Conventional Loans
FHA Loans
USDA Loans
VA Loans
Jumbo Loans

I strive to deliver personalized service that ensures you get the mortgage you deserve. My promise is to make your journey to securing a mortgage as seamless and comfortable as possible, all from the comfort of your home.
