I'm Carlos Martinez. I help families in Tucson buy homes, refinance smarter, and protect what matters most. One person, three pillars, zero runaround.
Carlos was extremely helpful in helping me through the process of buying my first home! He was accessible, communicative and knowledgeable about any question I had regarding any aspect of the home buying process. He was also incredibly encouraging! Overall, I had an amazing experience with Carlos as my Loan Officer!
It was a pleasure working with Luis and his team! The process was stress free. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.
Carlos was an asset in our home buying experience, he made everything be as smooth as possible. Carlos was always available and just a text away with any questions that came up. With this being our first home, if we ever need to sell or buy again we definitely will be using Carlos.
Carlos made the home buying process super easy and simple! He answered all my questions in a timely manner and made sure to get me the best deal! Truly appreciate all his work to get me into my first home.

Adjust the loan amount, rate, term, and other costs to estimate your true monthly housing payment.
Add just 1/12 of your monthly P&I to every payment. That's the equivalent of one extra payment per year — no lump sum required. It can pay your mortgage off years early and save tens of thousands in interest.
Plug in your sale price and current mortgage balance. We'll back out agent commissions, title & escrow, prorated taxes, and any concessions — and show you your real bottom-line net at close.
Estimate only. Actual closing costs vary by lender, title company, county, and individual transaction terms. For an exact figure based on your specific property and sale terms, request a free Seller Net Sheet from Carlos: (520) 591-0979.
DTI is the single biggest factor in whether you qualify for a mortgage — and most buyers have no idea what theirs is until they apply. Plug in your income and monthly debts to see your DTI in real time. Keep it under 50% to stay in the comfortable qualifying zone.
Enter the minimum monthly payment for each debt (not the total balance). Rent doesn't count — only credit obligations.
Estimate only. Actual qualifying income calculations vary by loan type (FHA, VA, Conventional) and lender. Self-employed buyers often need 2 years of returns; some programs accept 1 year with compensating factors.
