Where I work

The office is in Fort Worth at 1800 W Bowie St, Suite 200F, Fort Worth, TX 76110 (opens in new tab). I live in Aledo. Most of the files I handle are in the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

Based in Fort Worth, lending across DFW and the rest of Texas. I'm also licensed in Oklahoma, California, Colorado, Montana, Florida and Georgia, and I can help in all the other states too. If I can't do your deal, I'll say so and get you to someone who can.

Areas I serve close to home: Fort Worth, Aledo, and Parker County.

The loans are through True North Home Loans, a division of American Pacific Mortgage Corporation. Pruitt Approved is my name on the work, not a separate company. More about me.

Ready when you are.

Buying, refinancing or building, send it over and I'll take a look.

Questions

I am self-employed. Is that a problem?

No. It just means we look at your income differently. Send me your recent tax returns and I'll tell you what we can work with.

Can you do a loan that the bank turned down?

Maybe. Banks say no for a lot of reasons, and some of them don't apply everywhere. Tell me what they said and why. If I can't do it, I'll say so.

How long does it take to close?

Usually two to three weeks. The exact timing depends on the deal, the appraisal, and how fast documents come back. I'll give you an honest estimate once I see the file, and I'll tell you if something is slowing it down.
