Why Tom
Top 5 reasons to use Tom for all your mortgage needs
- 05
Experience
Tom started in the mortgage industry in 1998. He has lived in and served Douglas County as a mortgage broker since 2010, and he constantly seeks to improve so his clients get the very best experience possible.
- 04
Speed
While a lot of lenders struggle to close a file in two months, Tom averages 11 days from submission to final approval when an appraisal is needed — and 7.9 days when it isn’t.
- 03
Options
As a mortgage broker, Tom has access to over 50 lenders. How will you know which one is the right one for you? You probably won’t… but Tom will.
- 02
Pricing
You don’t need to pay for a lender’s fancy office and overhead. They have to pay for it somehow — usually with higher rates and fees passed along to you.

Tom
Why trust the biggest asset of your life with a faceless company (“Press one for…”) when you can talk directly with an experienced mortgage professional?

Douglas County, CO
Local mortgages, not a national phone tree
City briefings, first-time buyer notes, VA and refinance explainers — written for Castle Rock, Parker, Castle Pines, and Highlands Ranch, not a generic “greater Denver” doorway page.
Douglas County
Castle Rock
County seat, I-25 corridor, and a mix of established neighborhoods and new construction — Castle Rock loans go smoother when the file is matched to the house, not a single bank’s menu.

Douglas County
Parker
Mainstreet charm, family neighborhoods, and a lot of buyers commuting toward the Tech Center or Denver — Parker mortgages need a payment you can live with, not just a max approval.

Douglas County
Castle Pines
From Castle Pines Village to newer neighborhoods in the City of Castle Pines, these files often involve HOAs, higher price points, and a lender who will not vanish after the application.

Douglas County
Highlands Ranch
A large master-planned community, rec centers, and a C-470 commute — Highlands Ranch loans are often resale files with HOAs, not a mystery product from a TV ad.

Get in touch
Tom Stafford,
Mortgage Broker
Hardworking, honest, and happily outnumbered at home. He has lived in and served Douglas County as a mortgage broker since 2010. Licensed through Edge Home Finance, LLC and ready when you are.
When should I start the process if I’m six or more months out?
Today. If you know your credit is strong, Tom can go over income, liabilities, and a payment you’re comfortable with so your Realtor searches the right price range. If you aren’t 100% sure your credit is excellent, now is the time to find out — so anything that needs work can be fixed before you’re ready to buy.
Can you help me improve my credit scores?
Yes. When Tom pulls your credit, he sees today’s scores and your potential scores. He can run a report with a specific path to maximize those scores.
When should I refinance?
It depends on the goal. Lower the monthly payment? Shorten the term and save interest? Drop PMI you no longer need? Consolidate high-interest debt? Cash-out for improvements or college? Tom reviews those questions with you before anyone talks rate sheets.
