How We Got Started

I started in the mortgage industry in 2016 with Wells Fargo in their call center. There I learned about all of the mortgage programs and loan types as well as how underwriters think. This was a great stepping stone for me when I left Wells Fargo in 2019 and joined the Team at Key Mortgage. At Key Mortgage we take the time to get to know people and treat you as family by helping you choose the correct loan type and product that best fits your specific situation. I want you to have such a great experience with me that you tell all of your friends about me as well as want to write a Google Review for me and my team. I will also be the Loan Advisor who will follow-up with you after closing on your home to see how things are going and what I can help with at that time as well. I truly want you to be happy and to smile when you think of me. :-)

Homes priced at 150-300k are selling in hours and even before they go on the market they are getting full priced offers. It is a great time to sell ! Buyers are also getting more home for their dollar with Interest Rates being as low as they are currently and we have lots of areas with a Tax Abatement for a period of time as well. Let me know how I can help.
