Michael Faulkner

Michael got into the mortgage industry in 2004 with the primary goals of effectively communicating with home buyers and helping them navigate the intricate process of obtaining a home loan. His customer-centric, educational approach was set in stone early in his career as he began to hear from so many consumers about the overall lack of customer service throughout the industry.

Michael made it his mission to solve home buyers’ biggest complaints. He strives to be an effective communicator, provide education, and explain the “why” behind the loan products and rates. If the consumer is educated, then they can make good decisions about their loan product when buying their dream home. Delivering this home loan experience is what makes him passionate about doing loans.

Michael is a mortgage educator before he is a mortgage advisor.
