Getting pre-approved thru a mortgage lender is the first step you need to take to prepare for buying a home. Have a pre-approval letter will let sellers know that you are a serious buyer. Getting pre qualified for a mortgage gives you an idea of what your loan program and the amount you could borrow might look like in advance. This can give you a big advantage at different stages of your house hunt, from helping you prepare your budget and set your expectations, to strengthening your negotiation position with the seller when you're making an offer.

I have worked in the banking and finance industry since 1998. I have a wide range of lending experience, most recently as a mortgage underwriter. I am really excited to be back working with customers face to face. I know that applying for a mortgage can sometimes seem very cumbersome, even though it should be an exciting time! I utilize my underwriting background to help you understand the behind the scenes process which makes for a much more seamless and simple experience. I value great customer service and will provide the same to you.
