Huge shoutout to Joe for making our home-buying process such a great experience! From start to finish, Joe went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions, explain the process, keep us updated, and make sure we understood every step along the way.
Buying a home can be stressful, but Joe made the financing side of things so much easier. His knowledge, patience, communication, and dedication really stood out. You can tell he genuinely cares about helping people and making their dreams of homeownership come true.
We are extremely grateful for all his hard work and couldn’t have asked for a better lender. If you’re looking to buy a home and want someone who truly has your best interests at heart, I highly recommend Joe!

Working with Joe Caleca throughout the mortgage process was a great experience. Buying a home can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to financing, paperwork, deadlines, and all the details that have to come together before closing. Having a knowledgeable and dependable mortgage professional makes a tremendous difference.
Joe was professional, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. He communicated clearly, helped keep everything moving in the right direction, and made the mortgage side of buying a home feel much more manageable.
What stood out most was the level of professionalism and attention he brought to the process. When you're making one of the largest financial decisions of your life, you want someone involved who takes their responsibility seriously and is there when you need them.
I truly appreciate Joe's help in getting us through the financing process and into our new home. I would gladly recommend Joe Caleca to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, professional, and reliable mortgage broker.
Five stars and absolutely deserving of them.

As a first time home buyer, I was very nervous about the whole process of buying a house. Joe was incredibly easy to work with throughout the process. He answered any questions I had, anticipated any needs that would arise, and ensured that I was ready at every step of the way. Joe was quick to respond, and he was attentive. If I ever have a need for future financing, Joe, without question, will be my first call

Joe was awesome to work with. He was referred to me by a friend who works with him often when his clients need financing on a home. When I first reached out 3 years ago my credit was not where we needed it to be and I had just started a business so proving income was a little more challenging. We put together a plan to get me in a position to finance. My initial hope was a year, maybe two, to get where I needed to be for my best odds. Unfortunately, it took a little longer but that was no fault of Joes. That's just what it took for all my stuff to fall in line and give us the best chances. During this time he would call and check in and answer any questions I had about getting things where we needed to advance with getting a loan. About two months ago, we decided my situation was in a good spot and it was time to try and get it worked out. He was diligent and worked hard on my behalf to get the pre approval and ultimately the closing two weeks ago. This was my first home purchase so I had no idea what to expect and was nervous it was all going to come crumbling down. He was great at calming my nerves and answering all my questions. He was confident and did everything it took to get the deal finalized. I will definitely be working with him in future and have already recommended him to other friends and family members.

It took me a minute to say what I really wanted to say. Because I just want everyone to know what a wonderful lending team that Joe has. I started out with a different group at first, but if it wasn’t for Joe and his team giving me a call. I think truly in my heart I would be waiting a very long time on the first group I went with. I would highly recommend him and his team for anyone wanting to buy a house. This mortgage team will be on it and staying on top of it to get you a home . I highly appreciate Joe and his team. Thank you millions times over.

Meet Joe
Originally from Michigan, I’ve called the Carolinas home for about a decade, with stops in Charlotte, Rock Hill, and Charleston. Today, my wife and I own a home in Greenville.
Personally licensed in South Carolina, North Carolina, Michigan, and Florida.
I work as a broker. I shop your file across a network of over 100 lenders instead of handing you one company's rate.
Guidelines and availability vary by lender and by state.
Experience on both sides of the purchase
I was a licensed Realtor for 4 years and closed 50+ transactions before I became a loan officer. That helps us see what a closing date or a tax return means for your loan before you are under contract.
I was a licensed Realtor for 4 years and closed 50+ transactions. I know what your agent needs from me.
Straight answers about the next step
If the honest answer is wait, change the down payment, or do not buy this house, you hear it from me.
If the honest answer is wait, or not this house, you hear it from me.
How do South Carolina property taxes work when I buy a home?
In South Carolina, the home you live in is assessed at 4% of its value, and it skips school operating taxes. A second home or rental is assessed at 6%, without that break. You have to apply for the 4% yourself. And when you buy, the county reappraises the home, so the seller's bill may not be yours for long.
A bank's loan officer offers that bank's loans. I work as a broker. I shop your file across a network of over 100 lenders instead of handing you one company's rate. Sometimes a bank is the better call for you, and when it is, I'll tell you.
