About Larry Collins
I moved to Long Island from Whitehouse Station, NJ when I was 16 years old. I lived in the West Hills section of Huntington and went to Half Hollow Hills Hight School. Upon graduating high school, I attended Bryant College (now University) and graduated with a bachelor's degree in business administration and a minor in finance. While at Bryant, I helped start a men's Lacrosse Club with a few others that now has matured into a very competitive College Lacrosse program. I currently reside in Kings Park, NY. My personal interest varies but more often than not you will find me outdoors enjoying what mother nature has given us as well as hiking with my golden retriever puppy.
Upon graduating Bryant College and a short spell selling skis in the ski industry, I headed to Wall Steet and landed a job as a financial reporter for a reputable online News Wire Service. I worked there for eight (8) years from 1987-1995, reporting on government and corporate bond daily activity and price action as well as commodities and precious metals. After my tenure as a financial reporter, I made the move to the mortgage industry and worked for a highly successful mortgage broker as a loan officer for ten (10) years from 1995-2005. At that time, I made the decision to go into business for myself, got my NYS Mortgage Broker license and started my own Mortgage Brokerage firm. I ran a successful Mortgage Broker firm for 15-years from 2005-2020 when I decided to close the company and concentrate on originating loans as a loan officer. After weighing various offers, I was hired as a Loan officer in November of 2020 with a highly reputable local Long Island Mortgage Banker and in March of 2022 when the firm closed, I stayed with the same team and joined a great company in Rate.
My reputation in the industry has always been exceptional and my concentration has continually been on integrity and offering the client unparalleled service and advise throughout the whole real estate transaction. My clients and referral partners appreciate my honest approach to the business, my thoroughness in my methods and trust that I will always give them qualified and sound advice. My slogan is "having a qualified and experienced mortgage professional on your team is always valuable but in today's market, it is priceless."
