David Piatek is the Director of Government Lending at Waterman Bank, where he spearheaded the creation of the VA Housing Education program. As an Army Veteran, David brings firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges veterans and their families face when buying a home. His commitment to educating military members stems from his own encounters with being steered away from benefits and receiving misinformation. David's mission is to empower veterans with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their homeownership journey. Through his program, he aims to ensure that veterans and their families receive the full benefits they have earned and deserve.  David Piatek, NMLS673568

 “David was incredible through our first home-buying experience. For years, I thought the mortgage process would be difficult and stressful but David and his team made it exactly the opposite - easy!”


- Kalyn M.


 “They were able to make the seemingly impossible possible. This is after going through two different mortgage loan companies and several banks who didn't know how to help me with a VA loan.


- Carlos M.


 “David was great throughout the whole process. There is a lot of stress and questions during the mortgage and especially the VA loan process and his knowledge and expertise made us feel at ease.


- Jesus M.


 “I met David about 4 years ago at a VA Home Loan teach-in event. David made himself available to explain contract points that helped me understand the full picture.


- Robert P.
