Hey there I’m Nelson Thompson, but my team calls me sensei. I’m a small-town Memphis born wholesale loan broker, mentor, and educator with big dreams, living in Atlanta, GA. Obsessed with: calisthenics, a good read, a walk in nature, and pajama pants. I’ve been spittin’ home finance knowledge since 2011. I didn’t always know in what way I wanted to help people: but I’ve always had an innate need to help people make things happen… At the age of 25, I invested in a mortgage loan officer pre-licensing class and studied relentlessly to pass that national exam. Little did I know, that bold step would be my one-way ticket to a profession that truly meets that innate need to help people. Ten years in, numerous clients in a better financial situation and many loan officers trained and mentored.NMLS #730257

The conversation that Started It All:

I was sitting with my wife talking about the challenges my clients were having while trying buy a home. I said to her, “there’s a lot of misinformation that people are believing in, and it’s causing a lot of people to get denied and discouraged”. She then said to me, “Babe, why don’t you just educate people?”. That’s all it took, and I was on a mission ever since!

Inside Mortgage Sensei’s head:

Today you can find me snuggled up in my cozy Atlanta home office with my kids running my business or sun gazing in nature with my lovely wife and our beautiful kiddos. You wanna know what revs me up? Making people feel more educated on the loan process and arming them with what they need to take control of the home buying or refinance process with confidence. I do this through really listening to find out what your overall goal is and giving you the best options based on your current situation. If I can be that educator in your life that whispers: “you really can do this, and here is how” while the rest of the world leaves you with a hard no… then I’ll consider my job done.

More about mortgage sensei:

I have worked for traditional mortgage lenders and I know very well what their loan qualification process looks like. I have an incredible advantage as a mortgage broker; enabling me to offer you options that are not available through traditional lenders. As a wholesale broker we work with hundreds of lenders allowing us to provide financing to many people who have been turned away due to negative equity, lack of down payment, high debt-to-income ratios, or simply because their current loan has something like private mortgage insurance. In my 10 years I have encountered countless financial scenario’s and helped them secure the mortgage financing they were seeking. With a small investment of your time you could be better equipped in your home financing needs. Give me a call or email me today, I am honored to help you along your homeownership journey.
