Goochland’s Own Mortgage Broker Is Expanding — Here’s What It Means for Local Homebuyers
Goochland County homebuyers already know Duane Buziak as the local mortgage broker who shows up at community events, sponsors local causes, and answers his own phone. Now, that same local expertise is growing beyond Virginia’s borders — and it’s good news for Goochland families in more ways than one.
New Licenses in South Carolina and North Carolina
Duane Buziak, NMLS #1110647, has officially added mortgage licenses in South Carolina and North Carolina, with Maryland approval expected to clear this weekend. These additions build on his existing licensing in Virginia, Florida, Tennessee, Georgia, and Washington D.C.
For a broker who built his reputation right here in Goochland County — earning recognition as VA Broker of the Year for two years running (2024 and 2025) and ranking among the Top 1% of mortgage originators nationwide — this kind of expansion doesn’t happen by accident. It reflects steady, referral-driven growth from clients and real estate partners who’ve trusted him with their financing for years.
Why This Matters for Goochland Families
You might be wondering: if I’m buying a home right here in Goochland, why does it matter that my broker is now licensed in the Carolinas?
The answer comes down to continuity. Many Goochland families have relatives relocating to South Carolina and North Carolina for retirement, new jobs, or a change of pace. Multi-state licensing means those same families can now work with a broker they already trust — someone who already knows their financial picture — instead of starting over with a stranger in an unfamiliar market.
It’s also a signal of stability. A broker who is growing his footprint, adding licenses, and earning national recognition is one who plans to be around for the long haul — which matters when you’re choosing someone to guide you through one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.
Still Rooted in Goochland
Despite the expansion, nothing changes about how Duane serves Goochland County. He remains as accessible as ever for buyers throughout Goochland Courthouse, Manakin-Sabot, Crozier, and Oilville — offering the same FHA, VA, USDA, conventional, and DSCR loan programs, along with tools like the free NoTouch Credit pre-qualification and personalized mortgage calculators available to every local buyer.
“Growing into new states doesn’t change who I am here,” Buziak said. “Goochland is where this business started, and it’s still where my focus is every single day.”
A Track Record Built on Local Trust
The new state licenses add to an already strong list of recognitions:
- Scotsman Guide Top Originator, 2025 and 2026
- VA Broker of the Year, 2024 and 2025
- UWM Pro Elite, 2025
- Glen Allen Mortgage Broker of the Year, 2025
- Over 1,400 five-star reviews and 15+ years of experience
