Travis's Trusted Partners

Buying, building, or protecting a home takes more than a mortgage, and my clients ask me for a good name long after closing. These are the people I send them to: professionals I have worked with or vetted, listed by state and area so you can find the right one where you live. Pick a category to meet them, or ask me for a referral.

How this page works

A referral list only helps if you can trust how it was built. Here is the deal, in plain English.

1

Hand-picked, not pay-to-play

Every partner is someone I have worked with, vetted, or been sent to by a client I trust. Nobody pays to be listed, and I do not accept anything for sending business their way.

2

Local, in all 10 states

Every partner is listed with the cities they actually work, because a great agent in La Mesa is no help in Boise. I am licensed in 10 states and I am building this list out market by market.

3

Always your choice

You are free to use anyone you like. Working with a partner here, or not, never changes your rate, your terms, or how I treat your loan.

Are you a CPA, planner, agent, or contractor who takes care of people?

Partners get a profile page here, introductions to my clients at the exact moment they need you, and a note from me on why I recommend you. No fees, no quotas, no strings.

About this page: Trusted Partners are independent businesses, not employees, agents, or affiliates of Take The Rate. Take The Rate does not pay for, accept, or require referrals from anyone listed here, and no fees or other compensation are exchanged for these listings or for any referral in either direction. You are free to shop for and choose any provider you like; using or not using a listed partner has no effect on your loan terms, pricing, or eligibility. Take The Rate does not guarantee any partner's work and is not responsible for the services they provide. Verify licensing and insurance directly with each provider.
