What is the story behind your business?

My journey in the mortgage industry began when I was just a junior in high school. I was approached by the local mortgage lender and offered a position as a loan processor assistant. Without hesitation, I accepted, and from the moment I started, I knew I had found something special. I quickly realized I had a knack for the work, and it wasn’t long before I made it a priority to learn everything I could about the industry and my responsibilities.

From the very beginning, I treated it not just as a job but as the foundation of a career. I put my head down, worked hard, and stayed committed to growing. Over the years, I advanced from an assistant to a processor, then to a loan officer, and now, I’m proud to serve as a branch manager.

This year marks my 28th year in the mortgage industry, and I can honestly say I’ve loved every crazy moment of it. Helping people navigate the journey to homeownership is a passion that continues to drive me every day, and I’m grateful for the incredible opportunities and relationships this career has brought into my life.

What sets me apart from other lenders in the market is my unwavering commitment to delivering a personalized and transparent experience for every client. With 28 years of hands-on experience in the mortgage industry, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the challenges and nuances that borrowers face. I use that knowledge to tailor solutions that fit each individual’s unique financial situation and goals.

My approach is rooted in education—I believe that informed clients make the best decisions, so I take the time to explain every option clearly and thoroughly. Communication is key, and I pride myself on being available, responsive, and proactive throughout the entire process.

In addition to my expertise, I’ve built a reputation for turning challenges into opportunities. Whether it’s navigating complex financial situations or meeting tight deadlines, I thrive on finding creative solutions that help my clients achieve their dream of homeownership. For me, it’s not just about closing loans—it’s about building lasting relationships and ensuring that every client feels confident and cared for from start to finish.
