I’ll be with you every step of the way

Hi, I’m Claudia, a loan officer at our Ridgefield Park, NJ branch with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. Since 1999, I’ve found that success in the mortgage industry comes from assisting clients with diligence, honesty, and care – always with a smile. I take pride in connecting with each customer and reviewing a variety of loan programs to meet their unique goals and financial needs. My attention to detail and commitment to service consistently exceed my clients’ expectations, which is why the majority of my business comes from referrals.

With a background in Operations, Secondary Marketing, and Loan Origination, I provide insightful knowledge to clients and referral partners alike. I’m also a graduate of the Mortgage Bankers Association’s School of Mortgage Banking (SOMB), where I earned the Accredited Mortgage Professional (AMP) designation. This designation recognizes excellence, high ethical standards, and professionalism in the real estate finance industry.

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.

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. 

    Learn more

  • 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.
