About Kara

The home loan process can seem a little confusing at first – but when you have the right person by your side, it’s as easy as 1-2-3! With over 14 years of helping borrowers achieve their real estate goals, I’ve proven time and again I will get it done for my clients. You can count on me to walk with you through every step of finding the right product and securing your loan.

No matter your situation, I’m dedicated to using my extensive knowledge to ensure you receive the best financing possible. We’ll discuss your goals and circumstances to determine the right program and loan amount for your current dreams and future plans. From conventional and jumbo to FHA and VA, I’ll explain the specifics and guide you from pre-approval to closing and beyond.

I’m not only dedicated to my clients, but to my wonderful husband, four children, and farm of many animals, too! My devotion to family includes being a proud member of the Felix Brother’s Foundation in memory of my father. The Felix Brother’s Foundation provides scholarships to at-risk students at Amphi High School so they can remain active in any sport they choose to participate in.

Down payment assistance

Turn years from now into today

 

Saving for a down payment can be a challenge, we get that. With our variety of down payment assistance (DPA) programs for conventional and FHA loans, you could buy a home with little or no cash.

For most of these programs, one buyer must be a first-time homebuyer, and homebuyer education and other requirements may apply.

We make home happen. Contact me today to see which option is best for you.
