Licensing & coverage

Licensed in Florida, Ohio and Texas

Three states, and an honest explanation of how each one works. If you are relocating, buying out of state, or investing across state lines, this is the page that matters.

Chris Ailes, mortgage broker licensed in Florida, Ohio and Texas

Florida

Anchor Mortgage Funding Inc.
NMLS #236419

My home market. I live and work in eastern Lee County and cover Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Alva, Lehigh Acres, North Fort Myers, Estero, Naples, Venice and Sarasota, across Lee, Charlotte, Collier and Sarasota Counties, and Florida statewide.

Texas

Anchor Mortgage Funding Inc.
NMLS #236419

I started in real estate in Austin in 2003 and worked extensively with investors there before moving to the mortgage side. Texas is not a new market to me, and the investor work in particular is familiar ground. Greater Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Greater Houston, Austin, El Paso and statewide.

Ohio

Originated through Loan Factory

I’m originally from Columbus (born in Westerville, just outside the city) and I hold an Ohio license. Ohio loans are originated through Loan Factory rather than Anchor, so the paperwork and disclosures come from them. Same person on the phone, different entity on the paperwork, and I will tell you that up front. Columbus, Cleveland, Akron, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo and statewide.

Being licensed in three states is only useful if I tell you which one your loan actually runs through. So I do.

Who this actually helps

Not sure which applies to you?

Tell me the state the property is in and I will tell you exactly how your loan would run, which entity it goes through, and whether I am the right person for it. If I am not licensed where you need me, I will say so rather than waste your time.

Chris Ailes, NMLS #2485778. Florida and Texas originated through Anchor Mortgage Funding Inc., NMLS #236419. Ohio originated through Loan Factory. Not a commitment to lend. All loans subject to credit approval and underwriting on a complete file.
