I’ll be with you every step of the way
With more than 20 years of real estate experience, I began my career as a real estate agent before expanding into long- and short-term rental investing. Real estate has always been part of my life — my grandfather was a commercial agent and developer, and my father was a residential agent and investor. Their influence inspired my passion for helping others build wealth through homeownership.
My transition into the mortgage industry was driven by a desire to continue learning while making a meaningful impact on people’s lives. I enjoy helping clients navigate the mortgage process with confidence, providing clear guidance, personalized solutions and steady support from application to closing.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband, daughters, their families, our three pups and especially our first grandson. I love cooking, reading, kayaking, gardening, traveling, healthy eating and the occasional pizza. You may also find me exploring new adventures at Jeep events.

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.
