Mortgage Broker in Independence, MO
Home loans for buyers and homeowners in Independence. Licensed in both Kansas and Missouri, so the state line never limits your search.
Buying in Independence
Independence is the Jackson County seat, with many older homes and a lot of starter-home inventory. Property taxes and insurance vary by city, county and school district, so I look at the real numbers on each house, not averages.
I work by phone, text and video and can meet at the Rochon Mortgage Team office at 1475 Walnut St, Kansas City, MO.
Loan options that fit Independence
- FHA loans, a common fit for first-time buyers
- VA loans for eligible veterans and service members
- DSCR loans for investors buying rentals
- Conventional loans
- Down payment assistance for eligible buyers
Where to start
Start with a pre-approval so you know your budget before you tour. If another lender told you no, read told no on a mortgage. See also mortgage broker services across Missouri.

Yes. I am licensed in Kansas and Missouri and finance homes across Jackson County. I work by phone, text and video, and I can meet in person in Kansas City.
