competing for your loan
instead of the usual 3%
the rest comes back
no fee, no obligation
Two halves of the same transaction.
Hire me for one side or both. Bringing your own agent or your own lender is completely fine — plenty of clients do exactly that.
As your Realtor
Full representation for buying, selling and investing — at a fee structure built on lower overhead rather than reduced service.
- Listing side from 1% with photography, marketing and negotiation all included
- Buyer commission rebates credited back to you at closing where permitted
- Investing — cash flow, DSCR and honest exit math before you bid
- Relocation across seven states on one calendar
As your Loan Officer
An independent broker, not a bank. Your file goes to the wholesale market and the lenders compete — you see the two or three that actually win.
- 140+ lenders compared on your exact scenario, not one menu
- Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA and jumbo
- Bank statement, P&L and 1099 programs for self-employed borrowers
- DSCR and non-QM for files other banks decline
One flat fee. You keep the rest.
Two separate savings, and you can use either or both. A traditional brokerage carries offices, franchise fees and layers of management — that overhead is what the standard rate pays for, not extra service.
Listing commission
Instead of the 3% most brokerages charge, with photography, pricing, marketing and negotiation all included. On a $500,000 sale that keeps $10,000 with you.
How selling worksBack to you at closing
My buyer-side fee is a flat 1% — 0.5% on new construction. Whatever the seller or builder offers above that is credited back to you at closing. Where compensation is offered as a flat dollar amount, we split it evenly. On a $500,000 resale where 3% is offered, that is around $10,000 returned.
Assumes 3% offered to the buyer’s agent. Your figure moves with the actual offer.
How cashback worksDollar examples assume the seller or builder offers 3% to the buyer's agent, which is common but not universal. My fee stays the same whatever is offered — so if the offer is higher or lower, the amount credited back to you moves with it, and we work out your actual figure before you commit to anything. Commission is negotiable and is not set by law or by any brokerage. Fees are agreed in writing before any work begins. The credit is subject to lender approval, appears on the closing statement, and is available where state law permits.
What is included either way
- Pricing analysis from real closed comparables, not an automated estimate
- Professional photography, floor plan and listing copy
- MLS entry and syndication to every portal buyers use
- Showing coordination, offer review and full negotiation
- Financing verified on the other side before you accept
- Cashback cleared with your lender at pre-approval, not discovered at closing
Find yourself on this list.
Every situation below has a different answer. Pick the closest and you will know what the first conversation needs to cover.
I want to buy my first home
You likely need less down than you think — 3% conventional for qualified first-time buyers, 3.5% FHA, zero on VA and USDA. Plus a commission rebate that reduces your cash at closing.
First-time buyersI am selling
Full service at 1% on the listing side. Pricing from real comparables, professional photography, and offer review that checks the buyer's financing before you accept.
SellingI am buying investment property
DSCR financing lets the rent qualify the loan instead of your debt-to-income. LLC vesting is generally fine, and most lenders cap nothing. I invest personally, so the numbers conversation starts sceptical.
Investor servicesI am self-employed
The write-offs that save you money in April sink applications in June. Bank statement programs qualify you on 12–24 months of deposits instead of your tax return.
Self-employed optionsA bank already told me no
One decline is one underwriter reading one lender's overlays. With 140+ wholesale lenders on the board, scenarios a single bank could not place regularly find a home.
Difficult scenariosI already have a quote
Send it and you get it read line by line — rate, points, credits, mortgage insurance and the true break-even. If your current offer wins, the numbers will say so and you should take it.
Get a second opinionThe gap between agent and lender is where deals die.
Normally your agent and your lender have never spoken. The agent writes an offer with a 21-day close because it looks strong; the lender discovers on day three that the condo is non-warrantable. Now you are renegotiating from a weak position.
When one person holds both files, that conversation happens before the offer goes out — not after it is accepted.
- Offer terms written around financing that will actually clear underwriting
- Appraisal and condition risks flagged before you are contractually committed
- One person accountable when the clock is running, not two inboxes pointing at each other
- Pre-approval strength that makes your offer competitive without raising your price
Twelve licenses across seven states.
Real estate representation in Ohio, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Illinois, California and Georgia. Mortgage origination in California, Texas, Florida, North Carolina and Ohio.
Buying in one state and selling in another is a routine scenario here rather than a complication — the sale and the purchase share one calendar instead of colliding.
Licensed to lend
Licensed in real estate
A bank shows you the loans a bank sells.
That is not wrong — it is one menu. If your file does not fit it cleanly, that becomes your problem to solve. A broker puts your exact scenario in front of the whole wholesale market.
One file, 140+ lenders
You fill things out once. The scenario goes across the wholesale board and comes back with the two or three structures that genuinely win for your file.
Wholesale pricing
Brokers access lenders' wholesale channels — the same rate sheets a retail branch marks up before it reaches you. Over 30 years that difference is real money.
Programs a bank does not carry
Bank statement loans, DSCR, asset depletion, non-warrantable condos, recent self-employment, foreign national, jumbo with a story. Real scenarios needing real options.
The lowest rate is not the cheapest loan
A lower rate is usually bought with points at closing. If break-even lands at eleven years and you move in five, the better-looking number cost you money.
Speed, because you are not in a queue
If one lender's turn times slip mid-file, a broker can move the loan. A bank can only apologise and put you back in line.
Everything disclosed
Broker compensation appears on every Loan Estimate, as required. A bank's margin is inside the rate and is not disclosed at all.
Four steps, and you always know which one you are on.
A conversation, not a credit pull
Tell me what you are trying to do and where. We cover the realistic budget, the timeline, and whether now is even the right moment — sometimes the honest answer is wait.
Numbers before commitments
Affordability, the full payment including taxes and insurance, cash to close after any rebate, and which loan programs actually fit. You see the arithmetic before signing anything.
Pre-approval with weight, then the search
Fully documented and underwritten where it helps — the kind listing agents take seriously. Then we look at property with the financing already settled.
Under contract to closing
Conditions tracked, status visible, milestone alerts as each stage clears. The person who priced your file is the person who clears it.
Prepared files close faster. Applications rarely stall over rates — they stall because a document surfaces in week three that should have been gathered in week one. The document checklist covers what to have ready and the handful of things that quietly kill loans.

The questions everyone asks first.
Do I have to use Sree for both the loan and the real estate?
No. Many clients bring their own agent or their own lender and that works fine. Using both simply removes a handoff — the offer gets structured around financing that will clear underwriting, and one person is accountable throughout.
How much is the commission, and what is the cashback?
The listing side starts at 1% rather than the 3% many brokerages charge. On the buying side the fee is a flat 1%, or 0.5% on new construction, and whatever the seller or builder offers above that is credited back to you at closing. On a $500,000 resale where 3% is offered, that is roughly $10,000 returned. Dollar examples assume 3% is offered to the buyer's agent, which is common but set by the seller on each listing — my fee stays the same, so the credit moves with whatever is actually offered. Commission is negotiable and set out in writing before any work begins.
Does using a mortgage broker cost more than going to a bank?
No. Broker compensation is disclosed on every Loan Estimate, as required. Because brokers price out of wholesale channels rather than a retail branch, the all-in cost frequently lands lower — and you compare many lenders instead of one.
What if my bank already declined me?
A decline is one underwriter applying one lender's overlays. Different lenders draw those lines in different places. Shopping a file across 140+ wholesale lenders regularly finds a lender for scenarios a single bank could not place.
