I joined the Marine Corps after graduating high school and served four years in the Marines including two combat deployments. After the Marines I attended W.P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University and graduated with honors receiving a Bachelor of Science in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. After graduating I started my career in the mortgage industry. I help people obtain their goal of home ownership as well as help them with their existing home loan. I have the huge advantage of working with over 80 different lenders. Together we’ll find the best option for your situation.
In my free time I like hiking to ski untouched powder in Utah and Colorado, playing rugby, exploring the outdoors and spending time with my family and dog. I look forward to getting to know you.

Matt was very helpful and had great communication through our whole refinance process. I would highly recommended using Matt for all your mortgage needs.

My wife and I are real estate investors. This year alone we financed/refinanced 5 times…4 of those times were with Matt Burkhead (and I really wish we had found him for the first one).
Bottom line, Matt knows VA loans…is Military Friendly…and was ALWAYS there to answer any questions I had. Thanks to Matt we were able to streamline a VA loan quickly and painlessly, refinance an investment property to get out from under some mortgage insurance, cash out some substantial revenue for a kitchen and pool remodel on our primary residence, and buy a new investment property with a 1031 exchange.

Matt is awesome! He is responsive, professional, knowledgeable and very workable. I would not hesitate to use him again on my next loan. It was a very smooth loan process for me and my family

Matt Burkhead did an awesome job making this such a smooth process for us. Anytime we had questions he always provided a prompt response. He was able to answer any questions we had and thoroughly explain the process. In addition, we were able to do all of this from out of state. The automated tools that he used to have us sign and receive documents were very user friendly. We would defiantly use Matt again and highly recommend him.

Matt came highly recommended from a friend and definitely earned that reputation in my experience with him. From day one onward he went above and beyond in explaining my different options and giving his valuable advice on my refinance. His updates and communication with me was consistent throughout the process and he worked diligently with the lender, title, and the other businesses involved with the refi process. I have worked with other brokers in the past and Matt has surpassed them all by far. I absolutely recommend him. Semper Fi
GR
A great experience. Matt found us the lowest VA refinance rate available. The coordination with the banks and title company was taken care of in a seamless manner. Highly recommend.

Matt and his team are very easy to work with. I will definitely be coming back in the future for my mortgage needs. Thumbs up to you all.
HP
Matt was very informative and helped us through the process and listened to each question I had. The process was quick and worry free. I called Matt on a whim to find out more information on refinancing with a VA loan and he was super knowledgeable and we both agreed it was in our best interest.

Matt walked me through a VA Interest Rate Reduction Loan in Just 3 weeks. He had a lot on information and knowledge on the process. He explained each step clearly and was available for questions through the whole process. He was constantly following up on where we were in the process and making sure it progressed in a timely manner.
SH
Matt is very knowledgeable and was so easy to work with. He proactively sent us information and explained things before he sent them. He was very responsive to questions and made the process of refinancing simple. We would enthusiastically refer him to anyone.

Matt was our loan officer for a VA IRRRL. It was quick and easy! The house we're about to move back into is in Washington, part of the family has been in Virginia and I have been in transit across the country from Florida. We were able to do everything electronically and he made the process simple. Thank you!
CP
Matt, Made the Mortgage Process so easy to navigate and understand, as well ads educating me along the way. He was extremely responsive and felt like he was working around the clock to get things done
PW
Matt was extremely professional. He was consistently on top of things and made the refinance process extremely easy. I wouldn't hesitate to go through Matt again.
DB
Matt was a pleasure to work with and I wouldn’t hesitate to use his loan services in the future. Thanks Matt!
DG
Mark truly was great, he was very patient with our situation and always made us feel like we were a priority. He did a great job keeping us updated with progress of the loan really keeping us at ease with the whole process.

Matt Burkhead is the best mortgage broker I have ever work with. I have very high expectations, and I am very detail-oriented. Matt Burkhead exceeded my expectation with his attention to detail, quick responses, and always thinking several steps ahead.
He will work to find the best bank that will fit your need. I needed a bank at the time that could close within 25 days with low rates. Matt came through and delivered! He stayed on the bank and the processor to make sure we could complete by the set closing date.
There was NEVER a time I called him, and he didn't return my phone call. If I called him and he was on another line, Matt would send me a text message asap confirming that he knows I called and will call me once he's available. He always keeps his promise. He's humble, calm, honest, and dependable.

Matt was absolutely amazing. We were unsure about many things throughout the process, however Matt was able to guide us each step of the way. He answered every question we had fully and quickly. He was very easy to get a hold of as well.
We never felt rushed or in the dark. Matt was also considerate and very professional. We will absolutely use Matt’s services when the Army inevitably moves us again and have already recommended him to several family members and friends!
Even if you’re currently in the process with a large scale lender, I would contact Matt and see what he can do for you in terms of better rates, less random fees and simply better customer service.

Matt was awesome! He refinanced two properties for us with the IRRRL program . He was very responsive and answered all my annoying questions throughout the process. Highly recommend Matt!
HS
Matt is a go-getter, communicative, and knowledgeable -- all traits that are paramount when you want to close on time and without issues. Not only do you get great rates, but you also get superior service. I am so glad I decided to go with Matt after hearing other great reviews; he really does go above and beyond and will fight on your behalf!
MN
Matt did a great job for us. He returned emails and phone calls promptly. He addressed issues and concerns promptly and found the re-finance rate we were looking for. When there was some confusion with documents, he followed up and pre-screened to ensure accuracy. We'd recommend him to friends and family.
JD
I started the re-fi process by going through one of the National group mortgage chains, attempting to compete the various companies against each other. My wife told me about Matt who she found through VA Vetted on Facebook and looking for the best deal, I gave Matt a try. Matt was much easier to deal with, real down to earth and no-nonsense in the process. Not only did he get me the best deal, 2.25% 30yr fixed, but I didn't feel like I was talking to a used car salesman. I had one of his competitors actually tell me "If I can't get you the best deal, I'll do 100 push-ups." You know, because Physical Training matters more to us dumb vets than getting the actual best deal. Another used a panic approach sending me a text saying "this news came out over the weekend and the rates are going to go up, you need to lock in soon." The article he sent with the text was from a few months prior.
With Matt, there was none of that nonsense. I drug my feet with the process, hoping to dig out any other deals who could beat what I had and it never did. Matt was patient and never made me feel pressured. The whole process took about 2 months, mostly my fault, and we closed and couldn't be happier. Thank you Matt for your team's hard work, it was pleasure doing business.

I came to Matt 3 days before closing with another lender for numerous reasons. Matt was efficient, communicative, knowledgeable and explained things well. He was always available to chat and is also approachable.. He was able to reduce my closing costs and get me a very competitive rate! I would certainly recommend Matt!
DB
I’m a Navy Veteran and my wife reached out to Matt Burkhead through social media through a VettedVA group. Our experience with Matt to refinance our Mortgage was one of the best we’ve ever experienced. Matt was available around the clock (within reason) and answered any and all questions or concerns we had. He did not ever make us feel like we were a inconvenience when sometimes we just needed more clarity on a few things, he was fast and thorough and got the job done! We’d recommended Matt to anyone who needs a trusted broker, he’ll find you the best offers and will disclose anything, he’s very trustworthy and transparent and as a Veteran that is so important to me. Thank you Matt!
