Serving Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green, Owensboro, Paducah & all 120 Kentucky counties
Kentucky Mortgage Broker for FHA, VA, USDA Rural Housing, KHC Down Payment Assistance & Conventional Loans
I’m Joel Lobb (NMLS #57916), a lifelong Kentucky resident with 20+ years in lending, and I’ve helped over 1,300 Kentucky families buy or refinance their homes.
Free, no-pressure guidance. Quick pre-approvals often within 6 hours. Typical closings 15–30 /apply/days (timeline depends on underwriting, appraisal, title, and program requirements).
Why Kentucky Borrowers Choose a Mortgage Broker Over a Big Bank
If you’ve ever felt like a “file number” at a large bank, you’re not alone. Many mega-banks only offer their in-house loan products. That can be fine when a borrower fits perfectly inside their boxes.
As an independent mortgage broker, I can shop your loan through a network of mortgage lenders to identify competitive rate options and program solutions that may not be available at a single bank.
Access to multiple lender options instead of “one bank, one deal.”
Program-fit strategy for FHA, VA, USDA Rural Housing, KHC, and Conventional.
Direct, responsive communication and fewer last-minute surprises.
Clear guidance on credit, income, assets, and documentation from day one.
Bottom line: my job is not to “sell” you a loan. My job is to structure the right mortgage plan and help you close on time with confidence.

What Makes My Process Different
A mortgage is not just an interest rate. It’s underwriting strategy, documentation, timeline management, communication, and problem-solving.
Fast, clear pre-approvals
I move quickly, but I do not cut corners. You’ll get a plan built on documentation and realistic underwriting expectations.
Direct access to me
You can call or text me directly. No call centers. No getting passed from person to person.
Transparency from day one
If there’s a problem, you’ll know early. If something is borderline, we address it up front.
Closing execution
The goal is a predictable closing timeline with strong communication between you, your agent, title, and underwriting.
Free, Honest Second Opinions Are Welcome
If you already have a loan estimate from a bank or another lender, I’m happy to compare it and explain what it means in plain English.
If you want a straight answer, you’ll get one. If your current quote is strong, I’ll tell you that too. My goal is for you to make a confident decision.

Common Questions Kentucky Homebuyers Ask
How fast can I get pre-approved?
In many cases, I can turn around a pre-approval within 6 hours once I have the core documentation needed.
How long does it take to close a mortgage in Kentucky?
Many purchases close in 15–30 days, but timelines depend on the appraisal, title work, underwriting conditions, and program requirements.
Do you offer no-down-payment options?
Yes. VA loans and USDA Rural Housing loans may offer eligible borrowers a path to 0% down.
Can you help if I was denied by a bank?
Often, yes. A denial is not always the end — it may be a program-fit issue, documentation issue, or lender guideline mismatch.
