Stanley and I met in Los Angeles California at a small church where we both became members. That friendship has been solid ever since that day. I have watched Stanley grow in the real estate and mortgage industries where he has become an accomplished real estate and mortgage broker with over 30 years of experience with 15 of those years as the owner of his own company. Whether you're looking to buy your first home, a vacation home or an investment property, Stanley has the experience and knowledge to take you seamlessly through the entire lending process. When he is not working, Stanley enjoys spending time with 3 granddaughters, attending concerts and traveling.
