I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Jody, and I joined the mortgage industry in 1995, back when we used carbon paper to make two copies of the 1003 to send to the lender. Helping people is my passion, and I believe everyone should have a part of the American dream. Watching someone who thought they couldn’t buy a home make their first purchase gives me pure joy.
For the last 10 years, I’ve been sponsoring CTME Contract Classes, empowering real estate partners new to the business. My expertise includes CHFA down payment assistance, allowing me to teach classes in Douglas County, Colorado, to assist people with less-than-perfect credit or who are self-employed in their homebuying journey.
As a mortgage advisor in Englewood, CO for America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I’ll ensure your goals are met. Buying a home or refinancing involves a lot of hard work—but you can count on me to guide you every step of the way. I’m available Monday to Monday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., to answer any questions you have. I look forward to helping you navigate home financing.

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.
