About Anil
I spent eleven years as an underwriter before I moved to the other side of the desk. That means I know exactly which document will stall your file, and I ask for it on the first call instead of the week before closing.
Most of my clients are first-time buyers and families relocating to Delaware and Franklin counties for work. I do a lot of FHA and conventional loans with 3 to 5 percent down, plus the occasional jumbo for a new build in Powell. I will also tell you when renting for another year is the smarter move.
Outside work I help coach my daughter's middle school robotics team. We lost to a team of sixth graders last spring and I am still not over it. My phone is on until 9 p.m., and I answer it.
What members say about Anil
4 testimonialsLast October Anil told one of my buyers to keep renting until her bonus came in, and I was annoyed with him for about a week. She came back in April with $14k more for the down payment and a monthly payment $300 lower than the one she nearly signed up for.
Keisha Monroe Monroe Home Group A planning client of mine was approved for $720k and wanted to spend all of it on a new build in Powell. Anil went through the family's real budget with them, not just the approval letter, and they settled at $630k with their 529 contributions intact.
Marcus Oyelaran Oyelaran Wealth Partners I was paying $2,150 a month for an apartment in Westerville and assumed I needed 20 percent down to buy anything. Anil put me in a conventional loan with 5 percent down, asked for every document on the first call, and I closed in 26 days.
Hamza Warsame Northbound IT A relocating engineer from Japan had eight months of U.S. credit history, a signed offer letter from a Marysville plant, and two lenders telling him to wait. Anil worked out how to document his income and closed the loan three weeks before school started.
