Mortgage Company

Georgia Platinum Mortgage is a trusted, locally established mortgage broker serving home buyers and homeowners since 2001. Through market shifts, including the 2008 housing crisis, we have continued helping clients secure competitive home loans and mortgage refinance solutions with confidence.

We’ve proudly worked with and guided over 5,000 clients, providing expert pre-approvals and personalized loan strategies. As an independent mortgage broker, we bridge the gap between buyers and national lenders, giving you access to the best possible mortgage rates and loan options for your goals.

Perfect Mortgage Plan

At Georgia Platinum Mortgage, our experienced mortgage broker team can close many home loans in as little as two weeks. By working with multiple wholesale lenders, we offer competitive mortgage rates, flexible loan programs, and in some cases lender credits that may help offset closing costs, reducing your upfront expenses.

Whether you're purchasing your first home, upgrading, investing, or refinancing, we provide clear guidance, fast pre-approvals, and a streamlined mortgage process designed to move you confidently from application to closing.

Aaron Veres

GA/FL/AL Mortgage loan originator

Aaron was born for the financial world. Growing up around his father’s mortgage company and his favorite book being a sudoku puzzle book, numbers have always been a second language to him. He spent his first two years in college at Georgia College & State University and then finished up his schooling at Kennesaw State University in 2019. He graduated with Cum Laude and walked away with a diploma in finance. His age does not reflect the amount of experience he has in the mortgage industry. Working for his father for many years, Aaron decided to become a licensed loan officer in the summer of 2018. With a hunger for business and the desire to help others, Aaron makes sure every client gets into the home of their dreams in a short amount of time.
