Meet Richard

I'm Richard Matos, a bilingual Mortgage Loan Originator with NorthStar Mortgage Advisors. I've worked in finance for more than 10 years, first as a bilingual bank branch manager and, since 2021, in mortgage lending.

I've also owned and managed my own rental properties since 2016, so I understand the numbers from a buyer's and an investor's side of the table.

My favorite part of the job is handing a first-time buyer their keys. I'll explain every step in plain language, in English or Spanish, and keep you and your agent updated from application to closing.

Soy Richard Matos, oficial de préstamos bilingüe con NorthStar Mortgage Advisors. Te explico cada paso en español, desde la precalificación hasta el día del cierre.
