Brandt Myers • NMLS #2030154 • Winter Garden, FL
Winter Garden home values have held up well, which means real equity for homeowners here — whether you bought in the historic downtown, Stoneybrook West, or one of the newer Hamlin-area communities. I help Winter Garden homeowners access that equity fast, with a program that skips the traditional appraisal wait.
Winter Garden's mix of established neighborhoods and newer growth (Hamlin, Horizon West corridor) means a wide range of equity positions — from long-time owners who've built substantial value to recent buyers with newer, faster-appreciating homes. A HELOC lets you access that equity without giving up your current mortgage rate, which matters a lot if you locked in a good rate in recent years.
Common uses I see locally: funding renovations on older downtown-area homes, consolidating debt, financing pools (common in this climate), and using equity as a down payment on a second property.

— Winter Garden, FL homeownerWith Winter Garden's typical home value around $570,000, a homeowner with a $300,000 mortgage balance could potentially access roughly $156,000 at 80% combined loan-to-value ($570K × 80% = $456K, minus $300K owed), or up to $213,000 on a qualifying 90% program ($570K × 90% = $513K, minus $300K owed). Actual numbers depend on your specific property value, mortgage balance, and program qualification — I can run your real figures on a call.
No. A HELOC is a second lien on your property and doesn't affect your homestead exemption or Save Our Homes property tax cap. Those are tied to ownership and residency, not how your equity is financed.
Yes — the program is available throughout the Winter Garden area, including Horizon West, Hamlin, Stoneybrook West, and Oakland, subject to standard lender guidelines and property qualification.
