About Darnell Gazzolo

With over 20 years in financial services and more than 15 years in the mortgage industry, I am passionate about guiding individuals and families through one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives. To me, being a loan officer is more than just securing a mortgage—it’s about being a trusted advisor. By truly listening to each client’s story and understanding their needs, we develop a strategy that puts them in the strongest financial position possible.

I specialize in Conventional, FHA, VA, Jumbo, Down Payment Assistance, and Non-QM loans, with VA loans holding a special place in my heart as the dependent of a Veteran. I am dedicated to educating homebuyers, ensuring they understand all their options—especially first-time buyers navigating the mortgage process for the first time.

I am actively involved in the Rutherford Chamber of Commerce, Middle TN Association of Realtors, the Affordable Housing Coalition, and A Soldier’s Child Foundation because I believe in strengthening my community. Having relocated to Tennessee myself, I love helping others find the right neighborhood to call home.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me traveling—I’ve visited 42 states and 10 countries—or spending quality time with my family.
