I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Emily. Raised in Austin, I’m a native Texan who’s been serving our community through home financing since 2002. As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I provide my clients with an unparalleled customer experience, emphasizing quick response times and hard work to create a seamless process from start to finish. I’m available seven days a week to ensure the highest level of service during each transaction and am dedicated to making your mortgage process as stress-free as possible.
Everyone has a story – and I want to know yours. That’s why I’ll start by listening to understand your goals and work to match them with the right loan product. Home financing isn’t one-size-fits-all, which is why I offer a wide range of traditional and non-traditional home loans. I’m truly passionate about my profession and developing personalized home financing solutions. Whether you’re buying your first home, your next home, or an investment property, you’ll benefit from this approach.

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
-
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
