Hello, I'm Mike Barakat, your Home Financing Expert. My journey in the mortgage industry began in 2015 at Rocket Mortgage, and it has been an incredible ride. Growing up in Detroit, MI, I had the unique opportunity to work at the Rocket Mortgage Headquarters in Downtown Detroit. This experience not only shaped my career but also fueled my passion for helping families purchase new homes and refinance their mortgages.


At one point, I was licensed to do mortgages in 19 states, which gave me a broad perspective on the diverse needs of borrowers across the country. I specialized in refinancing for several years, leveraging the latest technology to streamline the process and provide exceptional service. The culture at Rocket Mortgage was truly inspiring, and I am proud of where I got my start.


One of my favorite aspects of working at Rocket Mortgage was using the latest and greatest technology. The company's commitment to innovation made the mortgage process more efficient and accessible for clients. While I cherish my time at Rocket Mortgage, as a mortgage broker, I now have multiple lenders at my disposal. This allows me to offer a wider range of options and ensure that each client receives the best possible solution for their unique needs.


I've been in the industry for over a decade now, and my network includes realtors and loan officers from all across the nation. I am proud to have over 100 five-star reviews, a testament to my dedication and commitment to client satisfaction.


My journey with Rocket Mortgage has been a cornerstone of my career, providing me with the skills and knowledge to excel in the mortgage industry. Today, as a mortgage broker with Lit Financial, I continue to help families achieve their homeownership dreams. Whether you're in Michigan, Arizona, or any other state, I am here to guide you through the process with personalized service and expertise.
