ABOUT BARCLAY

An Alaskan helping Alaskans buy homes.

I've lived here for over 20 years. I've bought, flipped, and invested in Alaska real estate myself. When I help you get a mortgage, I'm not reading from a script — I know this market from the inside.

I moved to Alaska over 20 years ago and never left. This state gets into your blood — the mountains, the space, the people who choose to be here. I've built my career and my life here, and helping other Alaskans put down roots is work I take personally.

I'm not just a mortgage broker — I'm an active real estate investor and house flipper. I've bought distressed properties, renovated them, and sold them in this market. That means when I'm working on your loan, I understand what you're actually trying to accomplish, not just the paperwork side of it.

As a licensed mortgage broker, I work with multiple lenders to find the best rate and terms for your situation — not just whatever one bank happens to offer. I specialize in VA loans for Alaska's large military community, USDA loans for rural and Mat-Su properties, FHA for buyers building credit, and conventional loans for move-up buyers.

I answer my own phone. I respond to texts. When you work with me, you're not getting handed off to a processor you've never met. You get me, start to finish.
