About
One advisor, not a firm.
I'm Pedro Mercado. I work with contractors, small operators, and households in the markets I am licensed to serve — directly, one conversation at a time.

How I work
Most of what I do is unglamorous. I read plans and budgets, ask about the parts that are still open, and tell you plainly what I think.
When you book a consultation, you get me — not a team, not a queue. Advisory work is done in scheduled sessions with a defined scope, and nothing is automated.
My background, credentials, and market coverage are recorded in the placeholder below and will be filled in with confirmed detail.

Principles
How I hold myself to it
I say what I can and cannot do
If a program is not the right fit, I say so at the start rather than after a long review.
I size obligations to the need
The amount is set against the specific gap, not against the maximum a borrower could carry.
I keep sensitive information out of the open web
Applications and documents are handled inside a secure portal, separate from this website.
I keep the sweepstakes separate
The vehicle giveaway is administered on its own. It is never tied to an application, a purchase, or a consultation.
Credentials
The person you will speak with

Pedro Mercado
Founder and Advisor
Every consultation, every review, every follow-up is with me directly. There is no handoff, no call center, and no junior associate reading from a script.
