Erik Browning at CrossCountry Mortgage

I’ve worked with Erik Browning for many years and would recommend him to anyone I know. Erik is an outstanding Marine Veteran and mortgage professional who consistently goes above and beyond on every deal, regardless of loan type. His knowledge spans all types of borrowers and financing scenarios, and he brings the same level of care and precision to each transaction. He’s especially strong with VA loans and investor-focused deals, but truly excels across the board. Erik communicates clearly, anticipates challenges before they arise, and finds solutions that keep deals moving smoothly. His work ethic, integrity, and commitment to his clients make him someone you can trust without hesitation. Erik is definitely someone you want in your corner when you're buying or refinancing a home!

Erik was incredible to work with during my VA IRRRL refinance. He’s extremely knowledgeable and took the time to walk me through the process step by step, making sure I truly understood my options. He also helped me see that there’s much more to a mortgage than just the interest rate, which I really appreciated. He made the entire process simple and stress-free. I highly recommend working with Erik and will absolutely be using him for any future mortgage needs.

I’ve bought a few houses now, and my last purchase was the most stressful escrow of them all. Through the process of getting qualified, making offers, and then escrow and closing, Erik was by far the most patient of anybody I’ve worked with in lending. He explained every step, expectations, all the possible rate and downpayment scenarios, and even now, almost two years since we closed, he still keeps me on his radar for sensible financing opportunities. Not only is Erik incredibly patient and communicative, but he’s is also very knowledgeable about downpayment assistance programs. I recommend Erik to everybody I know who is searching for a home. Highly recommend.

Erik was fantastic to work with! He helped my wife and I buy our first home using a VA loan, and the process couldn’t have gone smoother. A year later, he guided us through an IRRRL refinance to secure a much lower rate, saving us money every month. His customer service is top-notch — always available to answer questions (no matter the time of day) and genuinely invested in making sure everything went smoothly. If you’re a veteran or anyone looking for a knowledgeable, responsive loan officer who truly cares about his clients, I can’t recommend Erik enough!

I had an excellent experience working with Erik. His knowledge and experience with VA loans helped our clients confidently purchase their home with $0 down. He took the time to understand their goals, was consistently responsive, and showed a genuine commitment to their success throughout the process. I look forward to working with Erik in the future and would recommend him to any of my buyer clients without hesitation.
