Independent professionals deserve independent solutions. If you work as a freelancer, consultant, or contractor, traditional mortgage requirements don’t always fit your income structure.
At Contour Mortgage, Tim and Liz Serratt specialize in programs that make qualifying straightforward for 1099 earners and self-contracted professionals. Whether you’re a designer, rideshare driver, real-estate agent, or gig-economy professional, we make it easier to turn your income into approval.
Programs include:
- 1099 Income Loans — Qualify using your 1099 forms instead of tax returns or pay stubs. Perfect for freelancers with strong annual earnings but non-traditional documentation.
- Employment Verification Options — In many cases, a simple employer or client letter confirming your work history and income may be all that’s required.
These flexible programs are built to recognize the evolving nature of work — empowering modern professionals to buy homes on their own terms.
Tim and Liz walk you through every step, ensuring a smooth process and transparent communication from application to closing.

Program terms, conditions, and availability are subject to change without notice. Not all applicants will qualify.
What our Clients say
Trusted by families across the Treasure Coast.
Tim at Contour Mortgage is a star! He is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He explained all of the different mortgage options for my financial profile, walked me through the process step by step, was available 24/7 pretty much…he definitely knows how to make his clients feel like a priority. We closed in 24-days which is not the norm and I credit Tim and his team for being focused on getting us to closing quickly and efficiently. I’m incredibly grateful for their help. Can’t say enough great things.
I wanted to take a moment to thank Tim Serrat and the Contour Mortgage Team for the excellent job they did leading to purchase of my new home in Satellite Beach. Tim did an outstanding job from day one. He got me the best finance rate, explained the entire process and walked me through every step of the way. Everything happened exactly like he promised with no surprises. Tim was super responsive answering calls and clarifying any questions. To top it off he connected me with the home insurance company that ended up providing the best quote and coverage I could find. I highly recommend Tim Serrat and Contour Mortgage to anyone looking to finance or re-finance their home.
From the very first meeting with Tim I could tell he truly listened and cared about my situation he made the whole process of applying for a mortgage seem pretty easy even though I’m a single mom and the last time I bought a house was 10 years ago! Everybody at Contour mortgage is kind and helpful so glad I trusted first Scott and Janice Reynolds to even believe it was possible and then Tim made it a reality!!! Thank you to Sarah my realtor she’s a sweetheart looking at houses can be exhausting but we did it together smiling even laughing sometimes at the process of trying to find the right house for me. I highly recommend Contour Mortgage excellent team!!
