Your Southern New Hampshire Mortgage Expert | Over 30 Years of Experience

 

Think you can't buy a home? Feel stuck in the one you have? Worried that being self-employed makes getting a mortgage impossible?

 

You may have more options than you realize!

 

I'm Marleen Paquette, a mortgage loan officer with Guild Mortgage. With over 30 years in the mortgage industry, I help people navigate the home financing process with confidence. I believe mortgages shouldn't be confusing or intimidating. My job is to educate you, explore your options, and help you make informed decisions.

 

Helping You Find the Right Mortgage

 

I especially enjoy working with people who think homeownership or their next move might be out of reach.

First-Time Homebuyers: Not sure where to start? Worried about your credit score, down payment, or how much house you can afford? I'll walk you through the process, explain your mortgage options in plain English, and help you prepare for homeownership.

 

Move-Up Buyers: Love your low interest rate but not your current home? You're not alone! Many homeowners feel stuck because they don't want to give up their existing mortgage rate. I'll help you explore the numbers and determine whether moving makes financial sense.

 

Self-Employed Homebuyers: Own a business but worried your tax returns won't qualify you for a mortgage? Traditional financing isn't always your only option. I help business owners, freelancers, and independent contractors explore alternative mortgage programs, including options that may use bank statements instead of tax returns.

 

Been Turned Down Before? Don't assume that's the end of the road. Sometimes finding the right mortgage takes a different approach, another loan program, or someone willing to dig a little deeper.

 

Experience That Makes a Difference

 

Before becoming a loan officer, I worked as an underwriter, processor, account manager, and closing manager. This behind-the-scenes experience helps me anticipate challenges, solve problems, and guide borrowers through the mortgage process.

 

Whether you're considering conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, or alternative financing, I'll help you understand your options.

 

Proud to Serve Southern New Hampshire

 

I help homebuyers throughout Nashua, Hudson, Manchester, Concord, Merrimack, Bedford, and surrounding New Hampshire communities.

 

I'm currently Vice President of the Dream Team BNI chapter, where I collaborate with local business professionals and build relationships that strengthen our community.

 

I also proudly serve on the Board of Trustees for Family Promise of Southern New Hampshire, supporting families experiencing housing instability.

 

I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Economics with a minor in Sociology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst.

 

Outside of mortgages, I enjoy yoga, reading, fishing, spending time with family, and tending to my chickens.
