About Savanna
Why work with Savanna
Savanna Damato is a Loan Partner with Veterans Direct Mortgages, with more than six years of experience across the mortgage and real estate industries. She has worked from nearly every angle of the business — Loan Officer Assistant, processor, recruiting, licensed real estate agent, and supporting companies as they build stronger teams, systems, and operations.
That range gives her a clear understanding of what happens behind the scenes of a successful transaction: the importance of a well-structured file, clear communication, strong processes, and anticipating problems before they become obstacles. Working closely with loan officers, borrowers, real estate professionals, and internal teams has taught her how interconnected every part of a transaction truly is.
One of the parts of her role she values most is supporting loan officers with their files so they can spend more time doing what they do best: building relationships, serving their clients, and growing their business. Detail-oriented, solution-driven, and proactive, she believes great support means understanding the bigger picture and staying ahead of the process.
Client support role — not a loan originator. Company licensing (NMLS #1065732) is verifiable on NMLS Consumer Access. Loans originated through Client Direct Mortgage, NMLS #1065732 — see Licensing & Disclosures.

Pre-approval with honest math — BAH counted, funding fee handled correctly, a payment you can trust when you write the offer.
03
Clear to close
Appraisal, underwriting, and the VA-specific details that keep a file on schedule instead of on hold.

After the keys
Rates drop, we flag your IRRRL. PCS orders land, we run the rent-vs-sell math. The benefit is for life.
Straight Answers
Before you reach out
Will I actually work with Savanna?
Yes. The form on this page goes to Savanna directly — not a shared queue or a round-robin. Savanna's direct line is (951) 692-8445.
Does it cost anything to talk?
No. Conversations, pre-approvals, and every calculator on this site are free, and reaching out does not affect your credit score.
Can you help if I'm still active duty?
Yes — much of this work is active-duty buyers qualifying on BAH, buying ahead of a PCS report date, or closing with a power of attorney mid-deployment.
What if I've been turned down before?
Bring the file. The VA sets no minimum credit score, and residual-income underwriting approves military families a generic bank calculator often rejects. If it doesn't pencil, you'll be told straight — and told what would change the answer.
The Rest of the Team
Prefer someone else?
Every officer here is a licensed VA specialist with a direct line. Pick whoever fits — the file goes to the person you choose.
