I have over 20 years experience in the Mortgage and Real Estate field. I help clients sell, buy, finance, or re-fiance one of their biggest expense items in their lives, their homes.

Everything from first time home buyers struggling to get enough down payment to get into their first home, move up buyers looking to upgrade from their current home, investors looking for cash flowing properties, and ultra wealthy looking for their dream home. I also work with a lot of seniors who are downsizing or needing financial help with a Reverse Mortgage after a major life event, such as the health failure or death of their spouse, or are just looking to downsize now that all the kids are grown and out of the house.
