Proudly serving clients across Virginia.
As a Mortgage Professional, it is my goal to provide outstanding customer service to all my clients by educating and communicating with every party involved throughout the Mortgage transaction. With 27 years of military service and 19 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I am committed to providing the best financing options to home buyers and homeowners.
What sets me apart from the competition is my core belief that my client is the number one priority and my philosophy of listening to each customer’s needs and responding to those needs efficiently and effectively. I also believe that open, caring communication is the key to building strong and lasting relationships with borrowers and business partners alike.
In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, hiking, fishing, swimming and attending live sporting events.

Kent was very responsive; he always answered my questions quickly. This was my second loan with this company, and all things were done in a timely and professional manner. I appreciate how they're knowledgeable about how to work with Pastors and their unique tax situation. Kent specifically was great to work with. Thanks for everything.

Kent Blackburn was wonderful to work with. He always followed up with phone calls and texts, when I had a question. He kept me updated promptly on the loan process. He provided exceptional customer service. None of this would have been possible without the assistance of so many people throughout this entire process. I am very grateful to everyone.
