Matt Elliott
Mortgage Loan Originator | VA Loan Expert | USMC Veteran
Licensed in all 50 States Bio:Matt Elliott is a Marine Corps veteran and Veteran Mortgage Loan Originator with the Veteran Mortgage Team–your trusted VA Home Loan Expert serving veterans and military families nationwide through all PCS JOES CONUS Service Areas. Originally from Central Illinois, Matt grew up in a blue-collar community that takes great pride in military service — a value that continues to shape his work today.
After graduating high school just months before the events of 9/11, Matt felt an overwhelming sense of patriotism and a call to serve. Inspired by a close friend who deployed with the Navy Seabees, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps in 2006 as an 0311 Rifleman. During his military career, Matt deployed to Iraq in 2009, where he was stationed at Combat Outpost Waleed on the Iraq–Syria border. His service in one of the most challenging environments of the conflict instilled a deep commitment to teamwork, discipline, and service to others.
Following his time in uniform, Matt transitioned to the mortgage industry, building his expertise from the ground up — first as a Home Loan Processor, then as a Loan Officer Assistant, and now as a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator. Drawing on his military values and years of mortgage experience, Matt takes pride in helping veterans and families secure the best home loan options available.
Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned homeowner, Matt’s mission is simple: to serve with integrity, educate his clients, and help them achieve their dream of homeownership.
Matt’s values align perfectly with PCS JOES, and he’s become an indispensable part of our team thanks to his exceptional client care and reliability. As a trusted VA Home Loan Expert, he’s available seven days a week to guide veterans and military families through every step of the VA mortgage process.
It’s never too early to reach out to Matt. Many of our clients begin working with him 6–12 months before their PCS to improve credit and prepare for VA loan prequalification. This early preparation often helps them qualify for better VA loan rates and ensures a smoother military home buying experience. Don’t wait until you have orders in hand–contact Matt as soon as you receive your assignment notification to start preparing for your next move with confidence.
