We're Ty and Amy Marino. We help people get and build the right home for the life they're actually living — and we light up paths most folks never knew were there.
Ask anything — no name, no contact info, no judgment. Don't know your budget yet? Almost nobody does. That's step one, not something you were supposed to have figured out.
This assistant gives general education only — not financial, tax, legal, or loan advice, and not a decision about what you qualify for. It can make mistakes. For anything about your specific situation, talk to Ty (Senior Loan Officer, NMLS# 2810266) or the right professional.
A home is where a family actually happens — where they live, grow, laugh, and build. So the real skill isn't getting a home. It's getting the right one for your life.
Too much house can quietly cost you the life you wanted it for — the trips, the margin, the freedom. We'll help you find the home that fits the people in it, not the biggest number you qualify for.
Everyone's on a road, whether they see it or not. Our job is to show you where you are and light the next step — not hand you a product and disappear.
Amy's dad was a real estate investor. We teach our own kids to invest. We've bought, built, flipped, and held across five property types. This isn't a sales script — it's how we actually live.
We coach kids, athletes, and our own family the same way: see where you are, light the next step, stay on the field with you the whole way. A loan is just where the coaching becomes official.
Alaska and Kansas. A chaplain's heart and a rescue swimmer's nerve. Joy and grit. The contrast is kind of the whole point — and it's why people trust us with the biggest decision of their lives.
Long before we were in mortgage, Tyson served as a U.S. Coast Guard veteran doing search and rescue in the Pacific — and Amy was working 60+ hours a week running children's programs in an inner-city Tulsa neighborhood while Ty drove the van, showing up every single day for kids who needed a champion.
We foster kids. We've adopted. We coach youth football, basketball, soccer, and volleyball because we believe every kid deserves someone in their corner. Amy served as a chaplain with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at the University of Illinois and holds a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. When she's not building brands or coaching kids, she's the best fisherwoman you've ever seen — first fish, most fish, biggest fish, every time.
We're also active real estate investors — single family, multi-family, mobile home parks, flipping, and house hacking. We don't just talk about building a life through real estate. We live it. And it's the same energy we bring to every person we coach. We don't just close loans. We coach lives.
Most people choose from what they were handed: the bank they already use, or whatever comes up first online. Both are fine. Neither is the whole picture. The truth is less dramatic than a secret — the lenders with the best programs usually can't outspend a bank that already sits on every corner, so their options stay quiet. Not hidden. Just un-advertised. Down-payment help that fits your situation, paths that don't need 20% down, programs nobody told you existed — they're real, and they're often the ones marketing dollars never reach. We walk the whole hallway with you and open the doors worth opening.
Two ways in. No wrong answer — pick whichever feels like your speed.
Not sure you're "ready"? That's most people. Send a message and ask Ty anything — where you stand, what's possible, whether now's even the right time. No form, no calendar — just a conversation.
Message Ty →15 minutes with Ty. You'll leave with a real picture of where you stand and what roads are open to you — more than you knew when you started, either way.
Book 15 Minutes →A home isn't one journey — it's many. We coach people at every point on the road, and we'll meet you exactly where you are.
Never done this before? Most of what you've heard is wrong. We'll show you what's actually possible.
Start here →Outgrown the starter home? Finding the one you'll grow into — right-sized to the life you're building.
