A 20-Year Air Force Veteran Helping Fellow Veterans Achieve Homeownership

Scott Carlin is the founder of TrueVet and a mortgage loan originator (NMLS# 2613509) licensed in Florida and Texas through Xpert Home Lending, Inc. (NMLS# 2179191). Based in Palm Bay, Florida, on the Space Coast, Scott specializes in VA home loans for veterans, active-duty service members, and military families throughout Florida and Texas. After serving 20 years in the United States Air Force, Scott transitioned his engineering background and military discipline into the mortgage industry with one mission: to help fellow veterans and military families navigate the VA home loan process with a trusted advisor who speaks their language.

Scott's two decades of Air Force service give him a firsthand understanding of military life - from PCS moves and deployments to the unique financial challenges service members face. That experience is what sets TrueVet apart from large corporate lenders and call centers.

Why Veterans Choose Scott

Veteran-to-Veteran Service. Scott understands VA loan entitlements, the Certificate of Eligibility process, and how military income (BAH, BAS, disability) factors into loan qualification - because he's lived it.

Direct, Personal Communication. No call centers, no getting passed around. Scott is your single point of contact from application through closing. Clients regularly close in as few as 21-30 days.

Deep VA Loan Expertise. TrueVet specializes in VA purchase loans with zero down payment, VA IRRRL streamline refinancing, VA cash-out refinancing, and jumbo VA loans up to $4 million. Scott also handles conventional, FHA, and jumbo loans for non-military borrowers.

Local Space Coast Knowledge. As a Palm Bay resident, Scott knows the Brevard County real estate market - from Melbourne and Satellite Beach to Titusville and Cocoa Beach - and works closely with local real estate agents and title companies.

Working Scott has been a great process from start to finish. PCSing is always stressful, Scott helped my wife and I at least feel confident about our new home when moving to a new duty station

I had the pleasure of working with Scott on a recent transaction, and he did a fantastic job representing the buyer. It wasn’t the easiest file, but he stayed on top of every detail and got us to the closing table on time. As fellow Air Force retirees, it was especially nice partnering with another vet who brings the same level of discipline and dedication to the job. Professional, communicative, and solutions-focused—would gladly work together again!

Scott deserves more than 5 stars on all my offers that come through on listings I always verify with lender the approval. Scott was very knowledgeable about the file and did weekly checkins! We even closed one week early. This was a financing dream would love to work with him again.

Scott was a fantastic loan officer. This is my 5th home purchase and was my fastest closing by at least a week. He’s a veteran and understands VA loans. He was extremely easy to work with and was very responsive when we needed something whether it was on the weekend or at the closing table. I would 100% use him again.
