Meet Aidan —
Cape Fear region native

Aidan serves the Fayetteville and Cape Fear region, with a particular focus on VA loans for military families and veterans connected to Fort Bragg (Fort Liberty). Originally from North Texas, he also serves part-time as Student Director at his church.

Robeson County sits just south of Aidan’s home base in Fayetteville, and he works regularly with buyers throughout the county—from Lumberton to the smaller surrounding towns.

The difference between a broker
and a bank

A bank offers one set of products at their rates. An independent mortgage broker shops the entire market. Professor Lending has access to dozens of wholesale lenders—meaning we find the loan that fits your life, not the loan that fits a quota.

Robeson County is largely rural, which opens the door to USDA zero-down financing for many buyers who assume they need a large down payment. Aidan works with buyers across Lumberton, Pembroke, St. Pauls, Red Springs, and Maxton.
