Hi I’m Steve.

With a Master’s degree and over 30 additional graduate-level credits, I bring a strong academic foundation to complement more than 20 years of real-world industry experience. My journey in real estate began in 1999, when I launched my career as a Realtor. From day one, I focused on building a successful business rooted in client relationships, professionalism, and results. That dedication naturally evolved into becoming a licensed real estate broker, allowing me to further broaden my expertise and leadership in the field.
Seeking to offer even greater value to my clients, I earned my mortgage loan originator license and began my lending journey by proudly serving U.S. veterans. There was no greater honor than helping those who served our country achieve homeownership—and I continue to specialize in VA loans today. That work became the springboard for mastering a diverse array of loan products, including FHA, Conventional, Commercial, DSCR, Business Loans, and beyond.
Over the years, I’ve been a trusted advisor in thousands of successful closings. I’m known for exceptional communication, laser focus, and a detailed, methodical approach that gets results. People consistently look to me for guidance because they know I lead with integrity, work with transparency, and never lose sight of their goals.
Whether you’re purchasing, refinancing, or expanding your investment portfolio, I bring a complete A-to-Z understanding of both real estate and mortgage lending—ensuring a smooth, informed, and successful process every time.

Working with Yousuf at Trusted Mortage Capitol was a great experience! He took the time to answer my call over the weekend and helped me secure a much better rate. His responsiveness and dedication really stood out.

Ismail and his team are true professionals in the trade. They walked us all the way through the process of refinancing and we were able to get a nice amount of cash back that will definitely help us achieve our financial goals. Even with a few ups and downs due to miscommunication from the appraisal officer Ismail worked diligently to resolve the issues and keep the process on track. I highly recommend Trusted Mortgage Capital, Ismail, and the rest of the team for your mortgage needs.
Thank you so much.

Worked with Michelle K and had a great experience. She responded quickly and efficiently. Despite a few challenging situation on my end, she walked us through it and got things done. As someone who has worked in the real estate / mortgage industry for well over a decade it is always nice to work with professionals who know what they are doing. Would happily work with them again.
