Mortgage Broker in Melbourne, Florida

Homesite Mortgage has been family-owned on the Space Coast since 1999. We are a licensed broker, which means we do not lend our own money — we shop your loan across multiple lenders and tell you honestly which one fits. Our office is at 2754 Aurora Road. NMLS #353790.

What Is Different About Buying Here

Florida Files Turn on Things Other States Barely Think About

Most mortgage advice online is written for somewhere else. On the Space Coast three things decide whether a file goes smoothly, and none of them are your credit score.

Insurance can change what you qualify for

A homeowners quote is part of what a lender counts when assessing affordability, and Florida quotes vary wildly by carrier, roof age and distance from the water. We tell buyers to get quotes early rather than at the end — a wind mitigation inspection or a different carrier can change the whole picture.

Not every condo building is financeable

Beachside and riverfront buildings differ enormously in whether lenders will finance them, based on rental ratios, reserves, single-owner concentration and pending litigation. Send us the building name before you write an offer and we can usually tell you quickly whether it is straightforward.

Flood zones are not all the same

Two houses on the same street can sit in different flood zones, and it affects both the insurance requirement and the closing timeline. Knowing this before you are under contract is much cheaper than discovering it a week before closing.

Who You Actually Talk To

A Two-Person Brokerage, Not a Call Center

Tom Culpepper (NMLS #353539) is our principal broker and reviews every submission himself. Tracy Cody (NMLS #886861) and Brandon Culpepper (NMLS #1577726) round out the licensed team. When you call 321-751-4403 during business hours, a person in Melbourne answers. Your file is not handed to a stranger in another state.

Common Questions

Melbourne and Brevard County

Do you have an actual office in Melbourne?

Yes. We are at 2754 Aurora Road, Melbourne, FL 32935, and we have been family-owned here since 1999. You can come in, or handle everything by phone and email if that is easier. Either way you are dealing with the same small team, not a queue.

Which Brevard County areas do you work in?

All of it — Melbourne, Palm Bay, West Melbourne, Viera, Suntree, Rockledge, Cocoa, Merritt Island, Titusville, Satellite Beach, Indialantic and Melbourne Beach. We are licensed across Florida, but Brevard is home and it is where we know the appraisers, the insurers and the closing agents by name.

Why does using a local broker matter on the Space Coast?

Two reasons that are specific to here. Insurance and wind mitigation drive Florida files in a way they do not elsewhere, and knowing which carriers are actually writing in a given ZIP saves weeks. And beachside condo buildings vary enormously in whether lenders will finance them — knowing the buildings matters more than knowing the guidelines.

Can you help if I work at Patrick Space Force Base or L3Harris?

Yes. We work with a lot of Space Coast employees and service members. If you are eligible for a VA loan we will tell you whether it is the right fit rather than assuming it is, and shift differentials, bonuses and contract income all get treated on their own terms rather than averaged into a formula.
