Orlando mortgage brokerLocal access · Florida-wide service
I’m Shahram Sondi. If sitting down together would make the numbers easier to understand, we can arrange that. If phone, text, and secure online documents fit your life better, that works too.
You do not need a mortgage broker physically in Orlando to get a good mortgage. But local access can make the relationship more comfortable—and the conversation easier.
Prefer to meet? Orlando meetings are available by appointment. Text me and we’ll arrange a time.

This page has one job: explain how an Orlando-based mortgage relationship works. Jump directly to the answer you need.
01 / Choose how we work
Being nearby does not automatically mean a better loan. It means you have another way to work with me. Choose the format that helps you understand the decision and feel comfortable moving forward.
We can arrange an Orlando meeting and put the payment, money needed at closing, and loan choices in front of us. This can be especially helpful when it is your first mortgage or you do not yet know which questions to ask.
Meetings are by appointment.We can do everything through phone, text, email, and secure document upload. You still work directly with me; you simply skip the drive and handle each step when it fits your schedule.
Same direct relationship. No office visit required.You have my direct number, a verifiable Orlando business presence, and one person accountable for the mortgage from the first conversation through closing. Locality supports the relationship; experience and the actual loan terms still decide whether we are the right fit.
Local presence is useful. Competence still comes first.02 / One useful conversation
You do not need a property address, a finished application, or perfect paperwork to have the first conversation. A few honest numbers are enough to figure out what deserves a closer look.
We work backward from the payment you want—not simply the maximum a system may approve. Before a property is chosen, I use reasonable estimates. Once you send an address, I replace those assumptions with the best available property figures.
I narrow the choices to the programs that fit your situation, explain the tradeoffs in plain English, and tell you when a bank, credit union, or builder’s lender deserves to stay in the comparison.
That may be a reviewed pre-approval, a rate comparison, gathering a few documents, waiting until the numbers improve, or using a better option somewhere else. The goal is clarity—not forcing an application.
I do not rank or recommend neighborhoods or ZIP codes. When you choose a property, I evaluate objective financing facts attached to that home: taxes, insurance, HOA or condo dues, CDD assessments, project eligibility, condition, and appraisal considerations.
03 / Before you make an offer
A preapproval starts with estimates. The moment you choose a property, those assumptions need to be checked against the home you may actually buy.
Current bill, likely reassessment, and the effect on qualification.
A realistic homeowners estimate, plus flood coverage when applicable.
HOA, condo dues, CDD assessments, and known special assessments.
Single-family, townhome, condo, project review, condition, and appraisal considerations.
Updated monthly payment and estimated money needed at closing before you commit.
I evaluate financing—not neighborhoods. You choose the home; these sources help verify the property information behind the payment.
04 / Proof before promises
You should be able to verify who is advising you, reach that person directly, and understand who remains responsible for the file when a question comes up.

No. A properly licensed Florida mortgage professional can handle an Orlando purchase remotely. Working with someone based in Orlando is mainly about access and comfort: you can meet by appointment if that helps, while still completing the process by phone, text, email, and secure document upload.
Yes. Orlando meetings at 450 S Orange Ave, Suite 379 are available by appointment. Call or text first so we can arrange a useful meeting. Sensitive financial documents should still be sent through the secure upload portal rather than ordinary email or text.
Yes. The application, document collection, underwriting communication, appraisal coordination, insurance and title coordination can all be handled remotely. You work directly with me throughout the mortgage process, and closing is coordinated with the title company or closing agent.
Send the property address and, if available, the listing or MLS sheet. I will update the payment using the best available property-tax, insurance, HOA, condo, CDD and property-type information. Those figures remain estimates until the applicable third parties and final documents confirm them.
No. You choose where you want to live, preferably with a real estate professional familiar with the area you are considering. My role is to evaluate objective financing facts attached to the property you choose, such as taxes, insurance, association charges, project eligibility, condition and appraisal considerations.
No. We can discuss your approximate price range, comfortable payment, down payment, income type and timing before a mortgage application or hard credit pull. A formal preapproval requires a more complete review and may require authorized credit and supporting documents.
The core loan programs are generally the same statewide. The property can change the practical numbers: county taxes, homeowners or flood insurance, HOA or condo dues, CDD assessments, roof and property condition, and condo-project requirements can all affect the payment or lender fit.
07 / Let’s talk
Call or text me with the rough numbers. I’ll tell you what I’m seeing, what deserves a closer look, and whether I believe I’m the right fit.
Estimates only. Not a Loan Estimate, not an approval, not a commitment to lend, not a rate lock. Final terms depend on verified credit, income, assets, property, loan program, lock date, lender conditions, and actual third-party fees.
