Matt Roy
Underwriter & Expert Reviewer
Matt Roy has built an impressive 10+ year career in the mortgage industry.
For the past seven years, Matt has thrived as an underwriter, a role that has grown significantly since his early days in operational support. Starting as a setup specialist and disclosure specialist—a time when roles like these were crucial in streamlining processes—Matt spent 1.5 years in operations before transitioning to account management, where he excelled for another 2.5 years prior to becoming an underwriter.
What drives Matt in his role is a dedication to understanding the "why" behind the fast-paced mortgage industry. While much of the work can feel like ensuring square pegs fit into square holes, Matt finds fulfillment in uncovering nuanced answers to tough decisions. For him, it’s about making sense of the procedures and ultimately helping borrowers achieve the dream of homeownership—a reward that makes every challenge worthwhile.
Outside of work, Matt enjoys playing disc golf and supporting University of Missouri athletics. However, much of his free time these days is devoted to his daughter’s activities, as he fully embraces his growing role as a proud cheer dad.
