Steve Knox

Senior Mortgage Professional
Originator license MLO – 107021

As a mortgage professional, Steve provides highly personalized service to his clients with an emphasis on making them part of the process through consultation and education. As a result, Steve’s typical clients are those who want professional and confidential advice and thus cringe at the thought of sitting in an open lobby of a bank and talking about personal life challenges that require the need for a new mortgage (medical issues, divorce, loss of a job or income, downsizing, taking care of an elderly parent, etc.).
