Your Local CrossCountry Mortgage Loan Officer
Gnorae Wright
I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Gnorae Wright, a loan officer in Chesapeake, Virginia, dedicated to helping individuals and families achieve homeownership. I entered the mortgage industry in 1998 and returned in 2022 with renewed passion and purpose.
As part of America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender at our Chesapeake branch, I put borrowers first. Through a consultative approach, I listen carefully, identify each client’s goals and provide solutions for both immediate and long-term success. I enjoy assisting first-time homebuyers, empty nesters, self-employed borrowers and salaried and hourly employees.
As an experienced Virginia Housing–qualified trainer, I have helped borrowers apply for and secure local and national grants. If you don’t qualify today, I’ll help you create a plan for tomorrow and connect you with non-profit housing and credit-counseling resources. My goal is to provide the guidance, education and support you need to move forward confidently.

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.
