Mortgage tips, good vibes, and real-life advice

Helping you adult your way into a home - with confidence

About me

Hey, I’m Emilee! I’m here to make the homebuying process way less intimidating—especially for first-timers. I break down the mortgage world into real talk, share tips that actually make sense, and keep it all super approachable. Think of me as your go-to guide for turning “I have no idea what I’m doing” into “I got this.”

By day, I support regional sales teams and help clients feel confident about their next big move. By night (and weekends), I’m out hiking with my husband Seth and our rescue pup Daphne, lifting heavy things at the gym, or scouting out the best eats in town. I’m also a big fan of Formula 1, baseball, and any excuse to plan our next adventure.

I create love to content that’s educational, trend-savvy, and full of good vibes—because buying a home should feel exciting, not overwhelming. Let’s make it happen!

Let’s find the right home loan for you

We have loan options to fit every situation, from down payment assistance programs for first-time homebuyers to government-sponsored programs for military families and rural residents or jumbo loans in high-cost markets.

Conventional

Conventional

A Conventional loan is a great option if you have an average to high credit score and little debt. This allows you to take advantage of lower interest rates. With these types of loans, you have the option to put 20% down, which eliminates the need for private mortgage insurance (PMI) and saves you money. If you don’t have a large down payment saved up though, don’t worry. We have Conventional loan options for down payments as low as 3%.
Down payment assistance

Down payment assistance

If you’re purchasing your first home, you have options to buy without saving a full down payment. Down payment assistance (DPA) programs can help with your down payment in the form of a loan or grant that is often forgiven over time.
FHA

FHA

If you’re looking to buy on a tight budget, these loans are a great option. It’s easier to qualify for FHA loans because they carry lower credit score requirements and lower down payment options starting at 3.5% down. They’re also insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and only issued by FHA-approved lenders.

All loans are subject to underwriter approval; terms and conditions may apply. Subject to change without notice.
