About Mortgage Approval Group

Florida Mortgage Expertise With a Local Approach

Mortgage Approval Group, LLC is an independent mortgage brokerage headquartered in Tampa and serving borrowers throughout the state of Florida.

Founded by mortgage professional Scott Kepler, Mortgage Approval Group brings more than 25 years of mortgage experience together with access to a broad network of wholesale lenders and specialized home loan programs.

Our team works with first-time homebuyers, experienced homeowners, real estate investors, self-employed borrowers and clients with more complex financing needs. Because we are a mortgage broker, we are not limited to the loan products offered by a single bank or lender. We can evaluate multiple lending options and help identify financing that fits each client's individual goals and circumstances.

Whether you are purchasing a home, refinancing an existing mortgage, accessing home equity or financing an investment property, our goal is to make the mortgage process clear, efficient and straightforward from application through closing.

Experienced guidance. More lending options. Personalized mortgage solutions.

Why Clients Choose Us

More Lending Options

As an independent mortgage broker, we work with a broad network of wholesale lenders and loan programs rather than limiting borrowers to the products offered by a single bank.

Experienced Mortgage Guidance

With more than 25 years of mortgage experience, our team understands how to structure financing for straightforward purchases as well as more complex borrower situations.

Local Expertise. Statewide Reach.

Mortgage Approval Group is headquartered in Tampa and serves homebuyers, homeowners and real estate investors throughout Florida.

Personalized Loan Solutions

Every borrower and property is different. We take the time to understand your financial goals and compare available mortgage options to help identify the right financing strategy.

The Mortgage Broker Advantage

One Application. More Lending Possibilities.

Banks and retail mortgage lenders generally offer their own loan programs. As an independent mortgage brokerage, Mortgage Approval Group works with multiple wholesale lending partners.

That gives our mortgage professionals the ability to evaluate different lenders, loan programs and qualification options based on factors such as credit, income, assets, property type, down payment and overall financial goals.

Our lending options include Conventional, FHA, VA, Jumbo, DSCR, Bank Statement, HELOC, renovation, reverse mortgage and other specialized mortgage programs.
