Meet The Forge Team
Real People. Real Credentials. Real Local.
Forge isn’t a call center. You work directly with a licensed mortgage loan officer who knows Colorado markets, DPA programs, and how to close fast.
About Forge
Built To Help Colorado Buyers Win
Forge Home Consulting was founded to do mortgage and real estate the way they should be done: as one unified Colorado Mortgage Team, with full transparency, and aligned to the buyer’s goals — not the lender’s commission.
- One team handles your mortgage AND real estate — no handoffs
- Colorado-licensed and locally based — we know the market
- Full DPA expertise — we stack every program you qualify for
About / Our Team
Franz Sarangaya
NMLS# 2624915 · Colorado Licensed Realtor
Franz founded Forge Home Consulting after seeing too many Colorado buyers stuck in fragmented mortgage and real estate processes — different agent, different lender, different closing coordinator. None of them talking to each other.
As both a licensed mortgage loan officer and Colorado Realtor, Franz handles the full transaction in-house. That means faster closes, fewer surprises, and clients who actually understand what they’re signing.
How We Work
Our Approach
Four principles that shape every Forge transaction.
Transparency
No hidden fees, no surprise costs at closing. You see every number before you sign.
Speed
30-45 day close from offer to keys. Mortgage and real estate in-house means no handoff delays.
One Team
Your loan officer is also your buyer’s agent. One person knows your full transaction end-to-end.
Local Expertise
Colorado-licensed, Colorado-based. We know which DPA programs work where and which lenders close fast in this state.

COMMON QUESTIONS
About Working With Forge
Can I verify Franz’s NMLS license?
Yes — visit nmlsconsumeraccess.org and search NMLS# 2624915. The Colorado Real Estate license is also verifiable through the Colorado Division of Real Estate.
Is Forge a real brokerage or just an LLC?
Forge Home Consulting is a registered company with active mortgage and real estate licenses in Colorado. Mortgage services are provided through our broker partnership with NEXA Mortgage.
Why use Forge over a big-name lender?
Big lenders move clients through call-center queues. Forge gives you direct access to Franz throughout the entire process — same person from pre-approval to closing. That continuity is the whole product.
Where does Forge actually operate?
Forge serves all of Colorado, with a focus on Denver, Aurora, and Westminster metro areas. We close transactions statewide and host in-person events monthly.
How do I reach Franz directly?
