CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
"Everything went very well. It was a VA process and it went very smooth. This was my first mortgage and I was expecting a nightmare. We weren't really sure what we were in for but they made it pretty simple. We handed over the information from the VA and they handled everything. It was great."

Mark Johnson,
After visiting the Taos area for over 15 years, my wife Diane and I made Taos our full time home in the spring of 2002 We were drawn to Taos by our love of friends, plein air painting, skiing, hiking, and all things outdoors.
After completing the construction of our home here in Taos in 2003, I started to work in the mortgage business and eventually opened my own mortgage company in 2005. I have been serving the Taos and Angel Fire communities in the mortgage business ever since. I joined forces with Dimond Mortgage in 2009.
I was born in Seattle, Washington in 1956. But, I spent my youth living in several places around the West and Midwest, eventually arriving in Tempe, Arizona where I attended Arizona State University. I received my degree in engineering from ASU in 1978. I worked in the aerospace industry for 25 years where I was engaged in the design, manufacture and sales of flight deck systems for commercial aircraft. Along the way, I received my MBA in International Management in 1994.
