I started helping people in real estate 20 years ago as a real estate agent. I transitioned to lending 10 years ago and haven't looked back. Being able to understand the whole transaction from both ends puts me in a unique position to really help my buyers find the best loan for the best property for them. I treat all my clients as if they're family. From my million dollar buyers to my first time home buyers, your story and your new home are important to me. I have an excellent team behind me. We are extremely competitive on rates and closing costs and offer more programs than many lenders that you may qualify for. We close our loans on time, every time.
