About Me
Before starting in the mortgage industry, I worked in the same housing company for 17 years. I began part time and worked my way up to become a top producing Commercial Sales Manager. I discovered early on that there is no quick and easy shortcut for success, and have found that to be especially true in the mortgage world.
It takes honesty, integrity, timeliness, excellent programs and sincere customer service that creates trust and educates clients. I’ve implemented these principles into the foundation of my business, and love seeing the difference it makes in the lives of hopeful home buyers. We even created a video series, the 6 Steps to Your New Front Door, to guide clients through the mortgage process so no one is ever left in the dark.

Frequently Asked Questions
The total number of properties you may look at will depend on several factors, such as your budget and the housing availability in your area. In general, real estate agents recommend that homebuyers look at several properties before making a decision, but there is not an exact number. Most people look at 10 homes, at a minimum, so they can compare them. However, you may find the dream house with more or fewer searches.
When it comes to the best home buying tips, there are different ways to search for properties. Statistics from the National Association of REALTORS® reveal that 51 percent of buyers searched and found their homes on the internet, while 30 percent used real estate agents. Other ways to search for homes include asking friends, relatives, neighbors and homebuilders for help. A small percentage of homebuyers used newspaper advertisements and yard or open house signs to search for homes.
Although a pre-approval is not one of the required steps to buying a house, it can certainly help you stand out in a competitive market with many buyers. A pre-approval can show sellers that you’re serious and capable of getting a mortgage, so they may be more likely to accept your offer.
