ABOUT NEO


NEO is the Greek word for new.


Imagine a day when mortgage companies can no longer get away with just putting people into debt, but must equally focus on getting people out of debt and showing them how to leverage their home to maximize their wealth.


We believe successful homeowners – who have a plan to maximize their wealth and minimize their monthly expenses – make better neighbors and build stronger communities for us all.


We created the NEO Home Loans logo as a symbolic commitment to our relationship with you. We believe the closing of your home loan is where our relationship and guidance begin.


As your financial situation evolves and changes, we will be the constant guide you can count on. We aspire to become the most valuable person in your life when it comes to real estate and finance.


Ultimately, our success as a company is not measured by how many loans we do, but by how successful you become.




We look forward to being your guide on your homebuying and wealth-building journey!

Scott DiGregorio

Producing Branch Manager | NMLS 302451

When I was 10 years old, my father lost his business and our family was suddenly plunged into poverty. After that, money – or the lack of it – destroyed my whole family’s sense of security. And I was determined to figure out the whole “money thing.” It broke my parents, but I was not going to let it break me. Eventually, as my career in mortgage banking began to grow, I worked hard to build my business, but what drove me even harder was my passion for teaching my clients how to manage money better. 


A mortgage is a way to use the bank’s money to buy real estate, and the loan program you choose and the way you structure that loan makes the difference between staying in debt and using your home and your ability to save money to build wealth. I’m proud to say my advice has helped many of my clients build a path to financial security for their families. I would be honored to serve you in the same way.
