Another great distinction for Raleigh, North Carolina! Forbes Magazine just named Raleigh the #1 place for business and careers.
The ranking was based on a mixture of income/job growth, availability of education, cost of living and doing business and crime rates. Based on these Raleigh was named the overall best metro area. Also on the top 20 list was Durham, which made it in at #12.
This is great news for our residents and for those planning to relocate to Wake & Durham County. From personal experience as a small business owner, I would agree that the Triangle Region is a great place to live and work.

Assisting clients in purchasing and refinancing homes for 7 years. We understand good service depends on communication, honesty and providing value for our clients and business partners.
I am a member of the North Carolina Association of Mortgage Professionals and the National Mortgage Brokers Association, from which I have received the Lending Integrity Seal of Approval. This designation requires a background and credit check, coursework in legal, financial and ethical matters and other rigorus professional standards. My extensive education includes a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology (minor in economics) and a Doctorate in Quantitative Genetics. This analytical training benefits my clients as I am able to advise them on which financing options might best meet their specific needs.
Our goal is to serve our clients as financial advisors and consultants and be far more than salespeople. We strive to make the mortgage process as smooth and easy as possible while providing exceptional customer service and communication. We are committed to our clients and business partners (see testimonials below) from application to closing and beyond.
As both bankers and brokers, we have access to hundreds of lenders and programs. We finance purchase and refinance transactions from A+ to BC credit, from first time home buyers to seasoned investors. We are experienced in residential, vacation and commercial properties. Our branch specializes in affordable First Time Home Buyer Programs including FHA, VA, USDA and our Community Heros Program for Teachers, Healthcare Workers and Police Officers/Firefighters. We also have a variety of portfolio products including reverse, commercial and jumbo loan options. PROPERTY TYPES:

We also work with several local businesses and provide a "Mortgage Benefits Package" for their employees. For Sale By Owners (FSBOs) should inquire about our marketing assistance and information packages. This program is offered FREE to homeowners in North Carolina that are selling a residential or commercial property.
Just a few of the comments from our clients and business partners:
Thank you so much, Roland, for everything you did for us to get and keep the closing on a fast track! You are intelligent, cordial and respectful and we were assured you always had our best interests at the forefront. Thank you, again, and we will definitely contact you if we should need your services in the future. G. Sidwell, client in Durham
I truly appreciate all of your help with the house. Your knowledge and expertise were absolutely invaluable and made the whole process a lot less confusing and overwhelming! J. St. Clair, client in Garner
I will definitely recommend you... This is the first closing that I've had that has been so smooth and it was all due to your competence and knowledge of mortgage products. R. Rojas, client in Raleigh
They are lucky to have a broker who cares enough about them to not put them in something they can not afford. You are a great guy Roland and work hard for your borrowers!! T. Fletcher, lender AE
As a real estate appraiser, I have dealt with and continue to deal with many professionals in the mortgage business and none compare to Roland and his staff at VanDyk Mortgage. He has unmatched integrity and I have personally seen him treat every client as if they were family, many times at his own expense. My only wish is that all of my clients were as honest and professional as Roland. A. Morse, appraiser
Thanks Carrillo for always keeping in contact with me, you're a nice person and God bless you for all you do. Any person that I can I recommend to you because you are excellent. Many people need help and someone they can trust and I know you are the best. S. Rivera, client in Knightdale
The best part of the mortgage process was meeting Roland because he explained everything in detail. Anyone buying a home should go to Roland Carrillo for their mortgage needs. G. Dominquez, client in Holly Springs Be confident in VanDyk Mortgage's professionalism and its representative, Roland Carrillo. I would like to thank Roland for all the attention he gave us throughout the process. G. Martinez, client in Durham If not for Carolina which gained my trust and confidence, we would not have our home right now. After some failures with other lenders, she guided us through the process from the beginning until the end. Even now we are still in touch, she is always available for any questions I might have. M. Salinas, client in Raleigh NC License # I-139213
