With a powerful blend of empathy, insight, and expertise, Bruce Waller helps clients turn their vision of home into reality—whether they’re building from the ground up, renovating a cherished space, or securing financing for their first purchase. As a Top Rated® National Mortgage Banker with BuildBuyRefi.com’s Construction, Renovation, and Purchase Division, Bruce is a trusted advocate who simplifies the loan process, solves challenges creatively, and delivers financing solutions tailored to each client’s life and goals.

A graduate of Penn State University, Bruce quickly earned a reputation as a client-first problem solver, guiding everyone from first-time buyers to veterans and self-employed borrowers through personalized mortgage strategies. He specializes in navigating construction and renovation lending, ensuring clients understand their options, stay on track through every phase of the build, and feel fully supported from blueprint to final walkthrough.

Bruce’s story is one of purpose and perseverance. Born with a heart condition and diagnosed with dyslexia, he has not only thrived in a detail-driven industry but also mentors children with learning differences, showing them what’s possible through hard work and heart. A creative at heart, Bruce’s background in the arts includes winning poetry competitions and seeing his original plays produced during his college years—proof that his ability to connect with others runs deep.

Bruce also comes from a strong military family, and that foundation of discipline, service, and resilience guides his work daily. He brings that same commitment to each borrower, working tirelessly to ensure they feel heard, respected, and empowered to make confident financial decisions.

Outside of work, Bruce enjoys exploring new places, watching movies, and spending quality time with his wife and two daughters. To Bruce, mortgages are more than numbers—they’re a chance to build homes, futures, and legacies.
