The Loan Advisor

Twenty years building. Now lending like it.

Andrew Gaab, Mortgage Loan Advisor, NMLS #2761701 Andy Gaab · NMLS #2761701

From the job site to the closing table.

Andy Gaab came to lending the long way: two decades in construction and real estate, most recently as a senior project manager running damage-assessment-to-turnkey rebuild projects across Florida for the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust. Before that, years in insurance and financial services. He has read more budgets, draw schedules and contractor bids than most underwriters ever will — because producing them used to be his job.

That background is why his lending practice runs the way it does. Every file is processed and pre-underwritten in-house. Everything gets gathered upfront and submitted as one complete package — the same discipline that keeps a construction project on schedule, applied to your mortgage. It's the difference between a pre-approval that means something and one that falls apart in week three.

Andy originates with Coast 2 Coast Mortgage (NMLS #376205), a Florida lender with a full platform behind him — commercial lending to $20M+, construction and renovation, and every home-loan program from conventional to reverse. He lives and works in Ocala and closes loans anywhere in Florida.

  • Available seven days a week — buyers, builders and realtor partners don't work banker's hours, and neither does he
  • Commercial and construction lending informed by twenty years of running the actual work
  • Complete packages submitted once — which is how files reach clear-to-close quickly
  • Straight answers, including “no” when that's the honest one

Direct line. Real answers. No excuses.
