Daniel’s Bio

After graduating college with high honors, Daniel Patton teamed up with his childhood friend Dave Butler and in 2004 they began their careers together in the mortgage business. After winning the "National Rookie of The Year award" in their first year as Mortgage Agents they quickly translated that success into growing a Top 5 ranked team at Mortgage Intelligence where they started. 

In 2011 they formed Butler Mortgage.
