About me

With nearly 20 years of experience in the business, I have dedicated my career to helping clients navigate the complex world of real estate and mortgage lending. As a proud member of the Mortgage Bankers Association and the Veterans Association of Real Estate Professionals, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every transaction.

I specialize in Down-Payment Assistance, First-Time Homebuyers, Non-QM, Veteran Home Loans, and other specialty programs. My extensive experience and local expertise ensure that I can provide tailored solutions to meet the unique needs of each client. 

I pride myself on clear, concise communication and building lasting relationships with my clients. My goal is to make the home buying process as smooth and stress-free as possible, ensuring that my clients feel supported every step of the way. I am committed to creating clients for life by providing exceptional service and personalized attention.

When I am not helping clients find that next perfect home, I enjoy sports and the outdoors, family fun, and participating in community support events.

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.
