About Ben Allen
Advice for New Home Buyers
Homeownership can be expensive! Be sure you have at least 6-months in reserves as emergency funds.
Only if you want the most reliable and hardworking.
“I cannot recommend this lender highly enough. Mr. Allen played a crucial role in helping my wife and me secure a great property. As first-time homebuyers using a VA home loan, the process could have been overwhelming, but his guidance made all the difference. He was consistently one step ahead, ensuring everything stayed on track, and maintained open and responsive communication, which made discussing loan details easy and stress-free. I don’t typically write reviews, but Mr. Allen’s exceptional service truly deserves recognition”

Great Refi experience
“Ben was a fantastic partner in our refinance journey. We priced out a few loans and Ben delivered the best rate with the lowest closing costs. He locked our rate in promptly and walked us through the whole process. We’d done other refinancing before and this was the smoothest one to date. If rates drop we’ll definitely reach back out to Ben for another Refinance. ”
