I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Sofia, and I’ve been a staple of the Boston real estate community for 19 years and in the business for 25 years now. My dedicated team and I serve the metro area with a variety of home financing products. We offer a personalized approach to home loans, making your homeownership dreams our top priority and developing a plan to achieve them. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer or opening a new chapter in life, we’re dedicated to making your mortgage a win.
In the start of my career, mortgages were a side job while studying to be a teacher. After three years, I realized I’d already found the right career. However, I didn’t ditch the teacher mentality. Home financing requires many skills and roles, such as mentor, counselor, and guide. This approach has led to great success for my team and those we serve. I’m always available to answer your questions and ease your concerns. I look forward to walking by your side from our first conversation to closing with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender in West Roxbury, MA.

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.
