About Lisa

Purchasing a home is one of the most significant financial decisions you'll make, and I’m committed to making the process smooth and stress-free. With over 15 years of experience in the mortgage industry, I specialize in helping first-time homebuyers navigate their journey with confidence and clarity. I take time to educate clients on all available options—whether it’s down payment assistance, FHA, VA, or Conventional loans—to ensure they choose the best fit for their financial goals. From the early stages of home searching to securing financing, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. In addition to first-time buyers, I also work with clients looking to refinance, move up, or invest in real estate. My approach is grounded in trust, transparency, and a true passion for helping people achieve homeownership.
