About Ethan Dean

I'm a Top Loan Consultant passionate about helping buyers achieve homeownership. Whether you're a first-time buyer or purchasing a luxury property or investment home, I take the time to understand your full financial picture and match you with the right loan program.


Too many buyers get stuck working with lenders who take a one-size-fits-all approach. I specialize in finding creative solutions and exploring every option available—whether that's FHA, VA, USDA, Conventional, or one of the many down payment assistance programs I have access to. My goal is to help you feel confident and informed every step of the way, from pre-approval to closing.


I'm also committed to being a reliable partner to real estate agents. I respond quickly, communicate clearly, and work hard to help your clients get to the closing table. I'm available nights and weekends because I know that's when life happens and questions come up. More than anything, I love helping people discover what's actually possible. If you've been told "no" or aren't sure where to start, let's talk. I'd love to help you figure out your next step and get you moving toward homeownership.

"Ethan helped my husband and I purchase our first home and made the process extremely smooth and nearly effortless for us! He and his team walked us through every step, communicating so thoroughly and timely, as well as answering our many, many questions. They eliminated so many fears and unknowns that come with buying a home and made the process extremely painless even in less than ideal circumstances. I can’t recommend Ethan and his team enough!"

"I was fully informed of every step that had to be taken. The upfront honesty was a huge plus and win for me. Working with Ethan and team has made this whole process very easy to understand and comprehend. I don't know HOW I was blessed to be connected to Ethan and FairwayNOW, but I'm glad I was. They made, what would normally be a very stressful experience, one that was stress free and relaxing."
