VA loans · Northern Virginia & beyond
I'm Melissa Landon, Loan Officer & Branch Manager at The Landon Group at CMG Home Loans. I specialize in VA Home Loans for military families — first across Prince William, Loudoun, Fauquier, Fairfax, Stafford, and Fredericksburg, and increasingly wherever your orders send you. Straight answers, no runaround, and nobody gets surprised at the closing table.

No mystery, no surprises — here’s exactly how it goes, and we’re with you at every step.
Wherever the orders send you
New orders shouldn't mean hunting for a brand-new lender who's never done a VA loan. CMG Home Loans lends in all 50 states, and I'm personally licensed in a growing list of them — so reach out no matter where the orders point. If your new state isn't one of mine yet, I'll connect you with someone at CMG who's licensed there and stay in your corner the whole way.
Keep your VA loan people from base to base. No starting over with a stranger who has to learn your file from scratch.
CMG lends in all 50 states, and my own license list grows every year. Call me wherever you're headed — if I can't write it myself, I'll get you to someone at CMG who can.
Not a sideline we dust off twice a year. The same entitlement, funding-fee, and BAH expertise wherever you land.
For agents & partners
We don't just close your loan — we build your legacy. The four pillars, explained.

Reviews
Melissa saved us over $12k at closing by navigating complex roadblocks with ease! She went above and beyond every step of the way, always putting our interests first. Her integrity sets her apart in this industry!
Every single time we needed an updated pre-approval letter to submit an offer, Melissa and her team had it turned around incredibly fast — often within 30 minutes. The entire process felt seamless from start to finish.
Melissa has been my lender of choice for several years and several home loans. She’s always responsive and super knowledgeable throughout the process!
Ready when you are
It’s online, secure, and takes about 15 minutes — no cost, no obligation, no phone tree. You’re dealing with me and my team the whole way, not a call center. Getting pre-approved before you shop, or ready to move on a house you’ve already found? Either way, this is where it starts.
