About me

My approach to mortgage lending is personal and client-centered

I take pride in simplifying complex processes and making them understandable for everyone. Through my posts and interactions online, I strive to demystify mortgages with practical explanations and real-life examples. For me, being a loan originator is not just about closing deals; it’s about educating and empowering my clients.

Choosing me as your mortgage advisor means partnering with someone who is genuinely committed to your success. My extensive experience, coupled with a deep passion for helping my clients, ensures a supportive and smooth mortgage process. Contact me, Cody Castagno, today, and let’s take that first step towards making your homeownership dream a reality.

I am a second generation lender with 18 years of experience. The best feeling is getting to closing with my customers and seeing their faces when they get the keys to their dream home! I do my best to make this experience as easy and low-stress as possible. Purchasing a home will be the largest investment that you will ever make. You need someone that is willing and able to walk you through the process step-by-step. With so many lenders out there today, establishing trust, now more than ever, is key. I want to be your mortgage lender and get you across the finish line of the mortgage process!

When last minute my home loan with another bank fell through, Cody worked around the clock to get my loan approved and closed in excellent time. He is dedicated and responsive. I would 100% work with him again. Thank you Cody!

Cody and his team were all so incredibly helpful. Any time we had a question or need, they responded quickly. The process was seamless and the convenience of the app/website was incredible. I loved that the system would send notifications and even reminders for when things needed to be addressed as we went.
