Your Trusted Loan Expert with Over a Decade of Experience

Turning Your Homeownership Dreams Into Reality.

About me

With over 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I’ve had the privilege of serving clients in both Illinois and Wisconsin as a licensed Loan Officer. My journey began as a processing assistant, before transitioning to a personal assistant role for Larry Bettag, our district manager. Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of the mortgage process, which has been invaluable as I work closely with clients to secure their dream homes.
My team and I are dedicated to exceeding expectations. We pride ourselves on our problem-solving skills and our hands-on approach, ensuring that our clients are supported throughout the entire transaction. I’m passionate about helping people make one of the most important financial decisions of their lives—buying their own home—and I am available to assist every step of the way.

Personally, I’m deeply committed to health and fitness. I've spent 13 years honing my kickboxing skills as a way to relieve stress, and I even teach it part-time at National Karate. Additionally, I dedicate my Tuesdays to volunteering at Phil’s Friends, where I also serve as a team leader. Phil’s Friends is a charity that provides Christ-centered support to those affected by cancer, offering care packages, Cards of Hope, hospital visits, and prayer for individuals in need.
I’m a proud mother of two: a son who is currently halfway through law school at Michigan State University, and a daughter in high school who plays on a traveling hockey team—I love attending her games. I love meeting new people and helping them achieve their goals, and I’m always available to my clients when they need me. Let’s connect—I’m here to help you on your journey to homeownership.

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.

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.
Jumbo

Jumbo

Jumbo loans offer larger loan amounts than most other loan programs. These loans are a great option if you’re looking to buy a more expensive home and have a great credit score and strong financial situation.

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

Amanda made sure to explain every step in the process as thoroughly as possible--I think I got a B- in economics in high school so I absolutely needed someone smarter than me to translate the paperwork.

Amanda kept me updated throughout the transaction. She was very proactive in her communication & as an agent, that is something I really appreciate. She also did a great job keeping everyone in the loop. She attended the closing which is rare for lenders. I highly recommend Amanda for anyone looking to get a loan or refinance. She's amazing!
