Recognized as the consistent top performer for Land Home Financial Services’ elite President’s Club from 2019 to 2023, and earning the distinction of being one of the Top 10 Preferred Lenders in the State for the Iowa Finance Authority, I take pride in building trust and transparency with both the agents I work with and the customers I service. Having a background in Mathematics and Analytics, I approach challenges with a distinct viewpoint. I thrive on finding creative cost-saving solutions for every customer’s unique situation. My commitment to excellence allows me to approach everything with a fresh perspective and out-of-the-box thinking. Let’s set up some time to talk.

Paulino, Arthur, IA

Derek was amazin. During our first phone call he explained every single step throughout the entire process and since the first phone call, he's been available 24 seven for any question that I had and has explained or elaborated on everything. This was my first time buying a home so I had no idea how the process worked and he made everything extremely smooth and simple and he definitely prioritized what was important to me during the process. I would recommend him to every single person looking for a lender.
