About Josh

For most people, a mortgage is the biggest financial decision they'll ever make and the one they understand the least. Josh Lewis has spent 30+ years closing that gap. He'll show you exactly what a loan costs over the years you'll hold it, how every piece of it works, and why one loan program and cost structure fits your situation better than another. He's funded more than $700 million across 1,300-plus loans, and what he measures is whether each buyer landed in the right loan for their needs and understood why it was the right one.

He founded BuyWise Mortgage to give buyers a straight shot: he and his team work with 145 investors and handle your loan directly, from the first call to the keys, so the loan is built around your situation. When the math says wait, he'll tell you to wait. He lays the whole thing out in plain language, so you always know exactly what you're signing and why it's the right move for you.

Josh's rule

When the math says wait, wait.
