The Fortress Approach

At Fortress Mortgage Advisors, we understand that securing a mortgage is a major financial decision—not just a step in the homebuying process, but a foundational element of your long-term financial outlook. With over 40 years of combined experience, co-founders Michael LiPari and Craig Andriulli have built a company focused on more than just rates and approvals—they’ve built a team committed to smart, personalized lending solutions.

​

A Strategy That Works for You

What makes our approach different? It’s our dedication to collaborative, strategy-driven lending. Rather than treating your mortgage in isolation, we take a consultative role—partnering with your financial planner, CPA, realtor, and other advisors to ensure every loan recommendation supports your larger financial strategy. Your mortgage isn't just a loan—it's a piece of your financial story, and we treat it that way.​

​

Our Core Beliefs

​Every client we work with has a unique financial background, personal goals, and future plans. That’s why we tailor the mortgage process to you—not the other way around. From the first conversation to closing day, our goal is to provide clarity, confidence, and customized guidance.
