Specialties
Heart Mortgage is a licensed mortgage broker, NMLS 2045769, headquartered in Boca Raton, Florida, with a second office in Orlando. As a broker rather than a lender, we compare programs from multiple lenders and walk each client through the one that fits their situation, whether that is a conventional, FHA, VA or jumbo loan, a refinance or a reverse mortgage. Our loan officers work every day with first-time buyers, self-employed borrowers, investors and foreign nationals, including families who file taxes with an ITIN or do not yet have a U.S. credit history. The team serves clients in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Taiwanese, and every document and disclosure is explained in the client's own language. Licensed in ten states. Equal Housing Opportunity. This is not a commitment to lend. All loans are subject to credit approval.
History
Established in 2021.
Heart Mortgage was founded in January 2021 by Lee Dama, a Brazilian immigrant who arrived in the United States at 19 and spent more than twenty years in real estate and mortgage lending before building the brokerage he wished he had found when he started: one that speaks the client's language and treats a mortgage as a family milestone, not a transaction.
Today Heart Mortgage Corporation, NMLS 2045769, serves clients across ten states from its headquarters in Boca Raton and its office in Orlando, Florida, with 11 licensed loan officers who work in English, Portuguese, Spanish and Taiwanese.
Meet the Business Owner: Lee D.
I came to the United States from Brazil at 19, with no money and no connections, and spent more than twenty years in real estate and mortgage lending before founding Heart Mortgage in 2021. I built it to be the broker I wish I had found when I arrived: one that explains every step in your own language and treats your mortgage as a family milestone, not a file number. I am still a licensed loan officer, NMLS 485039, also licensed under my legal name, Eliseu G. Dama. I speak English, Portuguese and Spanish, and I personally review the client situations that do not fit a standard program, such as a family that files taxes with an ITIN, a foreign national, a self-employed borrower or a first home. Our team of 11 loan officers in Boca Raton and Orlando works the same way, and we are happy to talk it through in whichever language you prefer. Equal Housing Opportunity.
