Meet April Crawford | The Mortgage Chic

VA Home Loan Specialist | Self-Employed Mortgage Expert | Licensed in 17 States

Hi, I'm April Crawford, better known as The Mortgage Chic! I'm a mortgage broker with Barrett Financial Group, LLC, based in Braselton, Georgia, and licensed to help homebuyers and homeowners across 17 states.

I specialize in two areas I'm particularly passionate about: VA home loans and mortgage financing for self-employed borrowers.

VA Home Loans - Serving Those Who Served

As a proud veteran's wife, helping military families achieve homeownership is more than just my profession. It's personal.

I specialize in helping veterans, active-duty service members, and eligible military families navigate the VA home loan process, including VA purchase loans, VA cash-out refinances, and VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRLs).

Whether you're a first-time VA homebuyer, have challenging credit, or have been told you don't qualify, I'm committed to exploring every available financing option before giving up.

Self-Employed Mortgage Solutions

Being your own boss shouldn't mean giving up on homeownership.

I specialize in helping self-employed borrowers, business owners, entrepreneurs, and independent contractors navigate mortgage financing.

Traditional mortgage guidelines don't always tell the full story of a self-employed borrower's financial situation. I understand how to analyze complex income documentation, business tax returns, and alternative qualifying options.

From conventional financing to bank statement loans and other non-QM mortgage programs, I work to find solutions that fit each borrower's unique financial circumstances.

More Than Your Average Mortgage Broker

As a mortgage broker, I have access to a network of wholesale lenders, allowing me to explore a wide range of mortgage products, including:

• VA Home Loans
• Self-Employed and Bank Statement Loans
• Conventional and FHA Loans
• Jumbo Mortgage Loans
• Construction Loans
• Investment Property and DSCR Loans
• Mortgage Refinancing and Cash-Out Loans

Creative financing solutions, clear communication, and fast closings are what I strive to deliver.

I take pride in finding solutions for borrowers with complicated financial situations, helping clients understand their options, and working diligently to get loans to the closing table.

Serving Georgia and 16 Additional States

Based in Braselton, Georgia, I serve homebuyers throughout Gainesville, Jefferson, Hoschton, Flowery Branch, Buford, Commerce, Atlanta, and surrounding communities.

I'm also licensed in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

Whether you're a veteran ready to use your earned benefits, a self-employed business owner looking to purchase a home, or a homeowner exploring refinancing options, I'd love the opportunity to help.
