Most homeowners overpay their mortgage—
even when they negotiate the lowest rate.

The problem isn't your rate.
It's the hidden Cost of Credit.

You Did Everything Right

The rate looked competitive

You shopped around, compared offers

The payment felt affordable

It fit comfortably within your budget

The mortgage keeps stretching

Years pass, but the balance barely moves

The interest quietly adds up

Thousands disappear into interest every year

A low rate can still be a very expensive mortgage.

From Debt to Zero

"My focus isn't creating mortgages—it's helping you eliminate yours."

After two decades in the mortgage industry, I've seen the same pattern repeat: homeowners focus on getting the lowest rate, only to spend decades paying hundreds of thousands in unnecessary interest. The P.A.Y.O.F.F. Framework changes that.
