25 Years of Closing Deals. Thousands of Families Helped.

Dustin Carlson has been helping families, veterans, investors and business owners finance their homes for over 25 years. In that time, he's closed more than 10,000+ loans — from first-time buyers using Down Payment Assistance to investors financing multi-property DSCR portfolios, to veterans exercising their VA benefits for the first time.

What sets Dustin apart isn't just experience. It's that he treats every transaction as if it were his own home purchase — with urgency, honestyand a drive to close on time. His 90-minute pre-qualification process is designed to give buyers a real answer fast, not a vague "maybe."

Dustin operates through First Colony Mortgage Corporation (NMLS #3112) — one of Texas's most established mortgage companies, in business for over 40 years and having

What Clients Say Sets Him Apart

With over 361 verified reviews averaging 4.89 stars, Dustin's clients consistently point to three things: his speed, his communicationand his ability to find solutions when other lenders say no.

Dustin answers his phone. He returns calls the same day. He explains complex loan options in plain English. And he doesn't waste your time — if a loan won't work, he tells you immediately and pivots to a program that will.

His deep specialization in Non-QM, DSCR and bank statement loans means he's a go-to resource for borrowers who've been turned away by conventional lenders — and his VA loan expertise has helped hundreds of veterans access a benefit they'd never used before.
