About Brian Edward Cooke

I’m the Founder & CEO of World Home Loans, a mission-driven mortgage brokerage built with one purpose: to give Veterans the respect, speed, and savings they deserve when financing a home.Over the past 2 years, I’ve personally closed over 600 VA purchase loans and personally funded more than $375M in the past 12 months. Along the way, I learned that America’s Veterans are too often underserved by big-box lenders—facing higher rates, slower closings, and a lack of genuine care. That’s why I built World Home Loans. Our Mission: • To serve our Veterans by offering ultra-low mortgage rates and closing costs. • To empower Veterans with the knowledge and resources needed to make informed home financing decisions. • To stand against and eliminate the widespread overcharging of Veterans that has persisted in the mortgage industry for decades.At World Home Loans, we back this mission with execution: Faster closings (our average is 18 days) Better pricing (consistently beating national averages) White-glove experience that earns 5-star reviews at scale A platform where top producers can 2–3X their volume through efficiency, brand power, and unmatched VA expertise.With “Victory on the Home Front” as our rallying cry, World Home Loans is on course to become the dominant VA-focused lender in the country. Alongside building WHL, I’m writing my book The Efficient Closer: Building a Mortgage Empire with Precision and Purpose—a playbook for originators who want to scale with speed, systems, and execution. Book release estimated mid 2026!If you’re a Veteran, a Realtor, or a loan officer ready to level up—let’s connect. The mission is bigger than us.Licensed to work in: Arizona (10•••60), California (CA-DBO17866), Colorado Florida (LO54324), Georgia (17866), Idaho (MLO-20••••••66), Michigan (17866), North Carolina (I-211420), Ohio (MLO.03•••••01), Pennsylvania (76240), Texas, Utah (66•••34), Washington (MLO-17866)NMLS # 17866 | World Home Loans NMLS #27•••90
