Anyone can sell you a mortgage.
And many will try. But here in St. Louis, only Better Rate Mortgage opens the door to a truly better mortgage experience.
What is a “better mortgage experience”? Well, it’s one focused on helping you get into your dream home, not selling you a product.
That’s why Better Rate Mortgage is here. Our entire team has a long history in the mortgage business. But we were tired of doing it the old way.
We wanted to get back to helping people. That sounds cheesy, we know. But it’s true. And if you call us (we sincerely hope you do), you’ll feel it right away. That’s our promise to you.
Right at home in St. Louis.
We’re thrilled to call St. Louis home. And it’s not just the Arch and the Cardinals. It’s the people and the communities that make up this great region.
That’s why it gives us so much joy to help so many people across the St. Louis metro area open the doors to their dreams. And it’s why we’re committed to giving back, lending our time and talent to make our region stronger.
We hope you’ll join us in our belief that, together, we can all make St. Louis proud.
Meet the dreamers who make it happen.
Sean Zalmanoff
Founder and Chief Loan Officer
I love helping people and making friends! After 21 years in the industry, it was just time to do something different, to do something better. I was tired of seeing mortgage companies operate inefficiently and cost borrowers thousands of unnecessary dollars. That is why I founded Better Rate Mortgage. Let us open the door to more for you and see the difference. By the way, don’t just take my word for it, check out our reviews on Google too!

It brings me immense joy to assist people in achieving their home ownership aspirations.

Laura Hocking
Loan Officer
I come from a background in Banking, and as someone who has undergone the process of purchasing four homes and refinancing at a young age it was a natural step into Mortgages. Born and raised in Saint Louis, I am currently residing in Lincoln County; I love spending my free time outdoors with my family and two sweet pups. I put an emphasis on being there for my clients every step of the way; from purchasing their first house to refinancing their homes. I am dedicated to helping people get the most out of their homes, whether it be renovations, paying off debt, starting a family, and everything in between. Let me know how I can assist you!
Kassidy Davis
Loan Partner
After my enlistment in the US Army, I became licensed in real estate where I helped multiple buyers and bought a few homes of my own. Shortly after, I realized my calling was on the mortgage side of the industry, so I made the switch. I enjoy helping borrowers achieve their dreams in homeownership and have made it my mission to take advantage of my diverse background, so the process is comfortable and seamless for every borrower.
