About Aviscent Mortgage

WELCOME

At Aviscent Mortgage, we go the extra mile for our clients to get them the financing they need. When other firms simply deny clients, we get to work on improving their eligibility through education and an actionable plan.

With over 30 years of experience in the mortgage industry and having funded thousands of transactions, we bring deep expertise and knowledge to every client. Each purchase or refinance has its own set of challenges, and we pride ourselves in finding solutions for nearly all of them.

Aviscent is not about approving or denying a borrower. If you're not ready to buy today due to some financial challenges, we will work with you to improve your situation and best prepare you for your future purchase, whether it's in a month or 2 years from now.

Our highly trained team of loan officers are proficient in all of the standard mortgage products (Conventional, FHA, VA, etc) but where we set ourselves apart is in our expertise in servicing our self-employed borrowers along with our alternative product line-up.

Frank’s favorite thing to do is to connect with a home buyer that has just been told they have to wait a year or two before buying, or flat out being denied for a mortgage, and then being able to get them into the home of their dreams in less than 30 days! He prides himself on knowing trade secrets that others are not aware of and having access to products that aren't available to many banks or other lenders. Frank is available 24/7 to his team and his customers. There is no 9-5 here or banker’s hours!

Whether it’s your very first home or if you are an avid investor, Frank and his team of experienced Loan Officers are ready to help you achieve your goals and dreams. Frank can find mortgage solutions for many borrowers who have been turned down by other lenders for whatever reason. If he can’t help you today, he will keep working with you to best prepare you for your purchase until the time is right. This is why Frank’s borrowers become lifelong customers, referral partners, and friends.

When Frank is not busy helping his customers, he enjoys playing with his Boston Terrier, Lucy, driving his Jeep, going to live events, traveling, and spending time away from work with his beautiful wife, Marina.
