I’ll be with you every step of the way

Hi, I’m Dave Burness — your mortgage wizard and trusted home financing partner. With over a decade of mortgage experience, I’ve built a reputation for blending expert knowledge, creative problem-solving and a client-first mindset to make home loans simple, transparent and stress-free.

 

Based in the Austin, TX branch of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’ve helped hundreds of families, first-time homebuyers and investors secure smart, tailored solutions. I specialize in VA, FHA, conventional, jumbo and Non-QM loans — perfect for clients who need a niche approach and a little mortgage magic.

 

What sets me apart is my ability to simplify the process, design custom strategies and keep clients confident from pre-approval through closing. Ready to unlock your next chapter? I’m here with experience, heart and a touch of wizardry.

 

When I’m not guiding clients home, you’ll find me mentoring new loan officers, connecting with local professionals or enjoying Austin’s best smoothie spots.

Come Home With a VA Loan
