Our Story

From Mortgage Experts to Your Trusted Home Buying Partners

We met in the mortgage industry in 2003. April worked at a wholesale lender where Drew sent loans to. After our first date our energy blended well. I guess it can be said we became life and business partners. 

 April worked with many top retail home lenders over the years and prior to getting her real estate license was working with top national home builder lenders. April enjoys helping homebuyers find the house that you will call home. 

  Drew has been a loan originator since 1998, created Qualify Before You Buy in 2003  and after working with some agents who lost sight of the client and purchase offers falling apart became a licensed real estate agent in 2006  The home buyers have enjoyed the convenience and cost savings in the one stop shop home buying approach.

In 2025, Drew and April knew the public deserved better and turned Qualify Before You Buy into their own mortgage company and offer the industry’s best home buyer guarantee.
