Our Story

We're Latino Migrants Who Understand Your Journey

Primo Team was founded by Latino immigrants from Colombia who know firsthand what it means to build a life in a new country. We created this team because we believe every family deserves a mortgage advisor who speaks their language—literally and figuratively.

10+ Years of Experience, Built for You

Our team brings over a decade of combined experience in the mortgage industry. We've worked our way up from internships to processing, from management to becoming licensed loan officers and branch managers.

This journey gave us deep insight into every step of the mortgage process. We know the pitfalls, the shortcuts, and most importantly, we know how to get deals done for families who might have been overlooked by traditional lenders.

Today, we operate as Primo Team within Rize Mortgage, giving you access to a wide range of loan products while maintaining the personal, high-touch service that sets us apart.
