Get to know David Schley

Hello!

My name is David Schley (the only sly things about me are the silent c, h, and e in my name). You can call me David, Dave, Sly, “Hey You”, or mortgage guy.
Before becoming a mortgage professional, I graduated from Temple University’s Beasley School of Law, where I learned that I did not want to be a lawyer. After graduation, I became a restaurant manager and continued the mediaton training I’d started at Temple.

As we welcomed our son into the world, I opened a mediation firm and became a stay-at-home dad until 2021 when we bought our first home, and I found my calling in mortgages. I joined Success Lending where I can offer all the programs and help many of the people I could not in the call center lender where I “cut my teeth.”

Listening skills learned as a mediator, research skills learned in law school, and customer service skills honed in food service have all proven valuable in the mortgage business but it is my genuine desire to help people that has allowed me to thrive regardless of the “rate environment.”

Reach out anytime! I am a total nerd when it comes to mortgages; I don’t have to be available to discuss mortgages on nights and weekends, I get to discuss mortgages on nights and weekends!

Home Loans the SUCCESS® Way

FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS

How exciting it is to buy your first home. I’ll help you, along with an outstanding support team, navigate the home loan process so you have the very best experience and learn about your homeownership options.

CONVENTIONAL

Conventional loans allow for 3% down and typically are fixed in terms and rate. Usually, a good-to-great credit score is needed to get the lower rates featured with Conventional loans. (Mortgage insurance may be required on loans greater than 80% LTV and will increase your monthly payment).

FHA

FHA loans feature down payments as low as 3.5, low closing costs, and easier credit qualifications. Great for first time homebuyers! (Mortgage insurance may be required on loans greater than 80% LTV and will increase your monthly payment).

VA

VA loans are for those who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces. We are honored to serve you!

JUMBO

Go big or go…home! A jumbo loan can go up to seven figures, which works if you’re buying in a high-cost area or if you just want to go big.

USDA

Living in a rural-zoned area has its perks. Zero down, lower PMI, and competitive interest rate could help you down that country road.
