Meet Scott
Your Mortgage Planner
Hello! I'm Scott, a Mortgage Planner with The Lending Collective. With more than 25 years in the mortgage industry, I focus on making the home financing process straightforward and helping people across California feel confident about their decisions, whether they're buying a home, refinancing, or working toward bigger financial goals.
At The Lending Collective, we operate as both a direct lender and an independent mortgage broker. That means we can fund loans in-house or access over 100 lending partners nationwide. Instead of forcing you into a standard product, we evaluate your specific situation and strategically tailor the approach that truly fits. Our wholesale model helps secure competitive rates and a smoother, more efficient experience — saving you time and unnecessary stress.
I'm here to listen, explain things clearly, and guide you through every step, no matter if it's your first home or a refinance. When I'm not working with clients, I'm a husband and father of two. I stay active with jiu-jitsu, and I love getting outside for hiking, kayaking, and campervan trips around California's amazing spots.
If you're thinking about your next move and want someone who takes the time to understand what matters to you, I'd be glad to talk.
