🏡 CLOSED in less than 30 days! 🎉

This closing was extra special because my clients also happen to be my neighbors. ❤️ I’m so happy my team and I were able to help them get to the closing table in less than 30 days on the purchase of their new investment property!

One thing I’ve learned in this business: who you have behind the scenes matters. 👏 👏

From my amazing loan assistant, to my fast and steady processor, to my lending partner and underwriting team — every person played a part in keeping this loan moving and getting us across the finish line.

A huge THANK YOU to my entire team. I may be the person my clients see and talk to, but I absolutely could not do what I do without all of you working behind the scenes. 🤍

And to my clients and neighbors — thank you for trusting me with your financing. It was truly a pleasure helping you! 🏡🔑

Thinking about purchasing a primary home, second home, or investment property? As a mortgage broker, I have access to a WIDE variety of loan programs and lending options to help find the right financing strategy for your goals.

This quote speaks to why I love working in mortgages. 🤍🏡

A home purchase is a big decision, and my job is to help people understand their financing options, feel confident about their payment, and choose a path that fits their goals.

Whether you’re buying your first home, making room for a growing family, or looking for a fresh start, I’d be grateful to help you explore what’s possible.

Helping others move toward their goals is the most rewarding part of what I do.

A quick mortgage market update, in plain English. 🏡

Mortgage bonds took a hit today, which can put upward pressure on mortgage rates. That means a lender may raise its rates during the day, or it may cost more to get the same rate.

If you’re buying a home, take a breath. One rough market day doesn’t mean you need to put your plans on hold.
Rates move in both directions, sometimes quickly.

If you’re under contract, let’s talk about whether it makes sense to lock your rate.
If you’re still shopping, we’ll focus on the bigger picture: a monthly payment that fits your budget and a home that fits your life.

You don’t have to follow the bond market.

That’s my job. 🤍

🏡 Thinking about keeping your current home as a rental when you buy your next one?

Fannie Mae has changed how lenders document projected rent from a home you’re moving out of. A signed lease can no longer be used to establish that rent. Instead, the lender needs support from an appraisal, Form 1007, or a market analysis with comparable rentals. That means you may be able to explore buying your next home before finding a tenant.

The numbers still matter: Fannie Mae generally uses 75% of the supported rent to evaluate how much of the old home’s payment can be offset. Reserve requirements may apply, too. If you’re considering this move, let’s review your options early so you know what’s possible before you list or lease your home.

Fannie Mae is giving loan originators a new way to document projected rent from a borrower’s departing residence, creating an alternative to an appraiser-completed rent schedule that Freddie Mac does not currently offer.

I asked AI to create a mascot for my mortgage business, and apparently it has been paying attention. 😂

Meet Benny: part Chihuahua, part loan officer supervisor, and fully convinced the iced coffee is his.

He has reviewed exactly zero guidelines but would still like to be included on every “clear to close” email. 🐾☕️

Small dog. Big loan energy.
