Introducing Caliber’s Military and Veteran Lending Professionals

In 2016, Caliber Home Loans made a major commitment to our nation’s Veteran and Active Military homebuyers. Part of this commitment included the creation of specialized, in-house educational curriculum that prepared team members to meet the changing needs of our military borrowers.

Loan Consultants and Branch Managers who successfully complete the initial requirements and commit themselves to continued education earn the designation of Caliber Military and Veteran Lending Professional.

Guidance from lending pros familiar with your SITREP

Military and veteran homebuyers can rely on their lending professional to guide them through the mortgage loan application process and answer their questions about these topics and more:

  • Military culture, rank and pay grades
  • Pay & allowances
  • Leave and earning statements (LES)
  • VA entitlement guidelines
  • Qualifying military service
  • Certificate of Eligibility (COEs)
  • PCSing & military relocation

In addition, these Lending Professionals participate in Continuing Education classes and live VA webinars to maintain their designation.

We want our partners and – most importantly – our Military and Veteran borrowers to know that we’re doing everything we can to make sure our team members are highly trained. They’re fully capable of handling any loan situation our military families may throw at us.

— Bryan Bergjans, National Director of Military & Veteran Lending

Louie Garcia - United States Marine Corps

Louie enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in the fall of 1993 and began his four-year stint in August 1994. He was assigned to an amphibious assault crew and became crew chief of a 26-ton vehicle. Civilians who have never seen an amphibious assault vehicle – used to transport Marines from ships to beaches, and through hostile territory –  are often amazed by their sheer size and firepower.

During this assignment, Louie learned to operate a variety of weapons, including M-16 and M203 rifles, a M240 SAW 50-caliber machine gun, a MK19 automatic grenade launcher, mortar launchers, and a Howitzer artillery gun. (The history of the Howitzer – originally a cannon on wheels – goes back hundreds of years.) Louie admits he only fired the Howitzer once, but that it was a “cool experience”.

Louie also mentioned watching a B1 bomber airplane drop a 500-pound bomb from a distance. It took over a minute from the bomb’s detonation for the sound to be heard – an experience he still remembers as truly amazing. Later in his career, he spent nine months on dry land as a marksmanship instructor before completing his enlistment and attending college.

His main take-away from his time in the Marines? “Team work and integrity go a long way in life. It worked for me as a Marine, and now as a civilian.”
