A mortgage broker who knows Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale needs no introduction. What it needs is a lender who understands that a condo on the Intracoastal prices differently from a bungalow in Wilton Manors, and that insurance and flood zone matter before the interest rate does. Our office is a straight shot down University Drive.

Our office is at 1700 N University Dr, Suite 304 in Coral Springs, a short drive from Fort Lauderdale. Call or start the application online and we handle the rest from there.

What buyers find in Fort Lauderdale

The range here is as wide as the city. Downtown high-rise condos, single-family homes in Victoria Park and Rio Vista, waterfront properties with seawall surveys, and newer townhome developments in the western neighborhoods. Jumbo, conventional, FHA and VA loans all come through our desk from Fort Lauderdale buyers.

Whatever the property type, we build insurance, taxes and association fees into the numbers before you make an offer, so the payment you plan for is the payment you get.

First-time buyers start here

First and foremost, I want to sincerely thank Horizon Mortgage Group consultant Robert Morestin for everything he did for my family and I throughout our home buying journey. Buying a home in today’s market is not easy. Between the competitive housing market, the stress of getting approved by a lender, and trying to find the right home for your family, the process can quickly become overwhelming. There were moments where it felt stressful and uncertain, but Robert consistently provided reassurance, guidance, and professionalism every step of the way. From the very beginning, Robert was attentive, knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping us succeed. He always made himself available whenever I had questions or concerns, no matter the time or situation. What stood out most was how responsive and dependable he was throughout the entire process. He stayed on top of every detail, kept us informed, and made sure everything moved forward smoothly and efficiently. You can tell Robert genuinely cares about the people he works with and takes pride in helping families achieve homeownership. His experience and work ethic gave us confidence during a process that can often feel confusing and stressful. Thanks to his hard work and commitment, my family and I were able to close on our new home, and for that we are truly grateful. I highly recommend Robert to anyone looking to purchase a home. If you want someone who is professional, honest, patient, and willing to go the extra mile for his clients, Robert is the person you want in your corner.
