About me

Hi, I'm Marie, and I've been immersed in the mortgage and real estate industry for over 10 years. My journey in this field has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to help clients navigate one of the most significant decisions they’ll make: buying or financing a home. 

I pride myself on my deep understanding of the market and my ability to turn complex transactions into smooth, stress-free experiences. Whether it’s finding the perfect home for a first-time buyer or securing the best financing options for an investor, I’m committed to providing personalized solutions and exceptional service. 

One of the things I enjoy most about my work is building meaningful relationships with clients and colleagues. I’m here not just as a professional but as a trusted advisor who genuinely cares about achieving your goals. My approach is all about understanding your unique needs and crafting strategies that align with your vision. 

Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, exploring the pacific northwest and all things real estate. These interests keep me inspired and connected to the community I serve. 

I’m excited to continue making a difference in the real estate and mortgage world and look forward to the opportunity to work with you. 

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

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%.

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 loans

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.

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.

Bridge loans

If you've found the perfect new home but still need to sell your current one*, moving up can be easier than you think. You can buy quickly and avoid worrying about a contingent sale. Our short-term bridge loan for the down payment helps you transition seamlessly without missing out on the right home for your family.

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