Nicolas Mourra
Sr. Loan Advisor

Hi, my name is Nicolas, and I'm a Sr. Loan Advisor at Rate Leaf. When I'm not at the office, fixing cars is what I live for. Like any good mechanic, I like to tinker with loan options to make sure that I've found the best possible home-buying scenario for my client.So many of my past clients have walked through the door unaware of all of the options they actually have. It's a shame because you can get very creative and save thousands on your mortgage if you've got a broker willing to put in a little elbow grease.
