I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Lori, and I love helping families achieve major milestones like purchasing their first or second home, refinancing, or securing investment properties. With over 40 years of experience, I’m thrilled to educate clients, family, and friends on the homeownership process. Based in our Bothell, WA branch, communication is key to a smooth process, and whether you’re new to home financing or looking for your ninth home loan, we will get it done together!
As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, getting a mortgage is a personal financial move. That’s why I’ll listen carefully to understand your unique circumstances. If you’re a first-time homebuyer, I’ll walk you through the steps to closing and resolve any questions you have. If you’ve done this before, we’ll discuss new products and rediscover how staple programs have evolved to meet your needs. From application to closing and beyond, I’ll guide you every step of the way.

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.
