I'm Case Laviolette.
I run Kellibrooke.
One broker. One phone number. Every file handled personally from the first conversation to the closing table.
Kellibrooke Mortgage Partners is a Texas residential mortgage brokerage. I now handle every active file personally from the first conversation through closing.
Reading tax returns line by line. Reading lender guidelines the way underwriters read them. Structuring files so they don't fall apart in review. Negotiating with lenders when they push back. That's why I don't hand your file to a processor. I am the processor. I built the loan, I know every page in it, and I can defend every number in it when it matters.
When you call Kellibrooke, you get me. Not a receptionist, not a junior associate, not an automated system. I take the application, I build the file, I talk to the underwriter, I manage the timeline, and I get your file to the closing table knowing every detail because I touched every piece of it. Something goes sideways at 9pm on a Thursday, I'm the one who picks up.
The files I built this business around are the ones that require a careful structure: self-employed borrowers with complex tax returns, investors comparing DSCR structures across residential portfolios, and asset-depletion, RSU, K-1, bonus, commission, or layered-income files that need a real guideline read.
No processing fees. Compensation and applicable costs are disclosed on the Loan Estimate and/or Closing Disclosure as required. I compare available structures before you decide whether to proceed.
I monitor Treasury yields, mortgage-backed-securities markets, and current lender pricing, then check whether a market move changes the options available for a borrower's actual scenario. See how Rate Watch works.
Hear from my clients.
Real people, real closings. In their own words.
These are edited excerpts from 2021 testimonial recordings and describe individual experiences. Mortgage approval, terms, savings, and closing timing depend on the borrower, property, program, lender, appraisal, title, and underwriting. No approval, savings, rate, or closing timeline is guaranteed.
How I work differently.
Here is how I handle the file from the first conversation through closing.
One person, start to finish.
No hand-off to a processor you've never met. No "your loan officer is unavailable." I handle your file personally from pre-approval to clear-to-close, and I answer my phone.
I compare available lender options.
A direct lender generally offers its own programs and pricing. Kellibrooke compares available options across its approved wholesale lender network. Available options depend on the borrower, property, program, and current lender eligibility.
No processing fees.
Kellibrooke does not charge processing fees. Broker compensation and applicable costs are disclosed on the Loan Estimate and/or Closing Disclosure as required. I compare the available structures and total costs with you.
I'll tell you the truth.
If your bank's offer is already strong, I'll say so. If your credit needs six more months of work before you should apply, I'll say that too. I'd rather lose a deal today and earn your trust for the next ten years.
San Marcos, Austin, and everywhere else in Texas.
Kellibrooke is based in Austin, and most of my business comes from the surrounding metro. Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Pflugerville, Leander, Kyle, Buda, Dripping Springs, Lakeway, Bee Cave, Bastrop, and everywhere in between. But I'm licensed across all of Texas, so if you're buying in San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, or anywhere else in the state, I can handle it. Same service, same phone number, same person. If you want to model the math before we talk, start with my Texas mortgage calculators.
