We have been featured in many local publications in Arizona.

What does this business offer: Strategic Mortgage offers a wide array of loan programs for clients looking to purchase a new home, refinance an existing home or consolidate debt. We still offer 100 percent financing, stated income loans, jumbo loans, construction loans and subprime loans.
What has worked better than you anticipated: Our business model is based on building relationships with clients that last a lifetime. As such, all of
our clients deal directly with us, the owners, and we have seen an overwhelmingly positive response to this.
What didn't work when you started: The air conditioning went out the first full day we were in our office. We got it fixed and it is working well now.
Biggest daily challenge: Making sure we have time to eat lunch. Seriously, being an owner operator, you often don't have time to take a break and eat a meal.
What you wish you'd known before you started: The price of ink. In our business, we are constantly printing paperwork. I would say that our business has made Office Max a lot more profitable this past year.

of successful leadership at other larger mortgage companies.
What makes the business unique: Other than the most competitive rates and fees in the business, we are focused on building relationships with our clients. When we assist someone with a mortgage, we have a responsibility to help them plan for now and in the future
Why should customers choose you: We are licensed professionals and small business owners. As such, our name is behind everything we do. We want to make sure that we are putting all of clients in the best possible situation today and for years to come.
What are the goals for the business: To assist our clients in making the right financial choices for their specific situation and build a referral by design business.
Why is the business located in Tempe: Tempe is the center of the East Valley and an easily accessible location from all over the Valley. We both are ASU
alumni and Bill still lives in Tempe.
