While there, he served in multiple positions including working directly with the HUD Secretary in Washington DC, at the Federal Housing Administration, and most recently in the department within Ginnie Mae that reviews and approves all new Ginnie Mae applications. Anyone who has dealt directly with HUD has found out just how impenetrable that government agency can be.

Let Matt help your company prepare your Ginnie Mae or other agency applications and advise you through the approval processes. Even after you have thoroughly and accurately completed the application process, it can still take a while to get approved. But with Matt involved, your chances of moving smoothly through the process are greatly increased. And there’s no question it is nice to have someone on your side that has worked within Ginnie Mae, has personally been involved in every step of the process and knows those involved within Ginnie Mae. Additionally, Matt is available to advise executives and their staff on the most effective ways to get started on doing business with HUD and Ginnie Mae.
