What to Expect
Mortgage Planning
I understand that every family's financial situation is unique. Mortgage is not a one size fits all. I want to truly understand your puzzle and help you decide how we put that puzzle together. I promise to always be honest and make sure you know your choices throughout the process. Surprises while home buying are never fun. I take all of my clients through upfront underwriting to ensure you have piece of mind when shopping for your dream home.
Team Work
As a trusted mortgage professional based in Richmond, VA, I specialize in providing personalized mortgage solutions to homebuyers across Virginia and North Carolina. Whether you're buying your very first home or your forever home, I’m here to walk you through the process, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
I work closely with your realtor to make sure your offer is strong, competitive, and aligns with your goals. When it’s time to make an offer, I’ll personally call the listing agent to back it up—because when the listing agent (and sellers!) know there’s an experienced lender on board who will actually communicate with them throughout the process, it gives them peace of mind (and gives you a leg up!).
Behind the scenes, my powerhouse team helps make it all happen
seamlessly.
Our tight-knit crew includes:
- Production Partners: Madison Maynes & Collin Foster
- Processor: Bonnie Goad
- Underwriter: Kevin Doyle
- Closer: Tim Fulgham
We all work together to treat your loan with care, urgency, and attention to detail—from day one to closing day. You’ll never feel like just another number with us.
I take pride in being a responsive, local lender with a kick-ass team you can count on. Let’s make your homeownership goals a reality—reach out and let’s get started!
Availability
I am available when it matters, nights and weekends. Most real estate transactions require action outside of "normal" business hours. When working with me you can rest easy knowing that I am not just your lender but your friend and cheerleader. Shoot me a text, give me a call, email or reach out on social media…. I am here to help you win that house!
