Edison Mortgage: Florida Realtors Call Them First

The phone rings on a Sunday afternoon. Most mortgage offices sit dark and silent, their voicemail boxes full. At Edison Mortgage and Associates, someone picks up. That single detail, answering when others will not, captures the entire story of a family business that has spent more than two decades earning a reputation few competitors can match.

A Family Built on Trust Since 1998

Russ and Debbie McClosky did not set out to become the Gold Standard in the Florida mortgage business. They set out to help people. Since 1998, the husband-and-wife team behind Edison Mortgage and Associates has guided Florida homebuyers and the Realtors who serve them through one of life's most significant financial decisions.

Their approach was simple from the start. Treat every client as if the entire business depended on that one relationship, because in many ways it did. Word of mouth, not flashy advertising, built this company. Today, hundreds of five-star reviews stand as proof that the strategy worked.

What began as a small family operation in Cape Coral has grown into one of Florida's most trusted names in home financing. Yet the McCloskys have never lost sight of the personal touch that set them apart in the beginning. The business remains family owned and family run, and

that distinction shapes every interaction

The Obstacle Most Buyers Never See

Many homebuyers do not realize how much financing can cost before they ever reach the closing table. Broker fees, origination fees, credit report fees, and application fees quietly stack up, inflating the true price of a mortgage. For families stretching to afford a home, these costs create real stress.

Russ McClosky saw this problem clearly, and he decided to do something about it. Edison Mortgage and Associates charges clients none of those fees. No broker fee. No origination fee. No credit report fee. No application fee.

Instead, all fees are paid directly to Edison by its network of fourteen Florida wholesale lenders. The result is straightforward: lower total closing costs for the people who need them most. This is not a limited-time promotion or a gimmick. It is simply how the McCloskys have chosen to do business.

That decision required discipline. Waiving standard fees means a tighter margin, and it demands volume built on reputation rather than aggressive upselling. The McCloskys accepted that trade willingly, betting that fairness would bring loyalty. It did.

The Breakthrough: Realtors Who Call First

The turning point for any mortgage business is trust, and trust in real estate flows through relationships. Florida Realtors need a lending partner who will not drop the ball, miss a deadline, or vanish during a weekend negotiation. They need someone who communicates constantly and keeps every deal moving.

Edison Mortgage and Associates became that partner. The company works seven days a week, never the standard nine-to-five. When a Realtor has a buyer ready to move, the McCloskys are reachable. When a closing hinges on a quick answer, they respond. This relentless availability is why "Florida Realtors Call Us 1st" became more than a slogan. It became the truth.

Constant communication with agents sits at the heart of the Edison model. A mortgage does not close in a vacuum. It closes because the lender, the buyer, and the Realtor stay aligned at every step. By keeping agents informed, the McCloskys protect the deals that agents have worked so hard to build. In turn, those agents send client after client back to Edison.

This is the quiet genius of the business. Satisfy the Realtor, and the referrals never stop. Satisfy the buyer, and the reviews write themselves.

What Makes Edison Mortgage Different Today

In a crowded market, Edison Mortgage and Associates stands apart for reasons that are easy to understand and hard to replicate.

First, customer service drives everything. The McCloskys measure success by one standard: every client must become a satisfied client. Hundreds of five-star reviews confirm that they hit that mark again and again.

Second, low closing costs set them apart. Because fourteen wholesale lenders compensate Edison directly, clients avoid the pile of fees that burden so many mortgage transactions. The McCloskys work to keep total closing costs at the absolute minimum.

Third, availability defines their service. Seven days a week, early mornings, late evenings, whatever the moment requires. Homebuying does not pause for the weekend, and neither do they.

Edison offers a full range of financing options, including FHA, VA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and alternative financing programs. That breadth means the McCloskys can match buyers with the right path for their situation rather than forcing everyone into a single mold.

Behind all of it stands a simple human truth. Russ and Debbie McClosky genuinely care about the families they serve. They understand that a home is more than a transaction. It is a place where lives unfold, where children grow, and where memories take root. Helping people reach that moment is the reward that has kept them going for more than twenty-five years.

A Mission That Has Never Wavered

The mission has stayed constant since 1998. Make every client a satisfied client. Keep costs low. Communicate relentlessly. Treat Realtors as partners, not afterthoughts.

That consistency is rare. Businesses often drift as they grow, trading their founding values for convenience or profit. The McCloskys refused that drift. They built scale without sacrificing service, and they earned a reputation that now precedes them across the state.

For Florida buyers who feel overwhelmed by the financing process, Edison offers something increasingly rare: a steady, honest guide who answers the phone and tells the truth. For Realtors, Edison offers a dependable ally who protects deals and treats clients with respect.
