I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Margaret, and I’m dedicated to guiding you through your homeownership journey. I joined the mortgage industry in 1999 and quickly found it rewarding to assist people and provide homebuying and refinancing solutions. I enjoy educating clients and helping everyone from first-time homebuyers to real estate investors grow wealth through homeownership.
At America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender, I have reverse mortgages in my toolbox to assist homeowners age 62 and older by tapping into their home equity. This financing solution helps people improve their retirement finances and achieve financial goals, including paying for home repairs and covering medical expenses.
As a loan officer, I’m known for my professionalism, communication, expertise, and personalized loan solutions. Whether you are ready to apply or want to discuss your options, I look forward to hearing from you!
Off the clock, I enjoy gatherings with my family and friends, spending time with our grandchildren, gardening, traveling, motorcycling, and vintage cars.

Frequently asked questions
-
Refinancing costs typically range from 2% to 6% of the loan amount and include fees such as appraisal, title insurance, and closing costs. Factors like your loan type, location, and credit score can significantly impact these expenses. Our team can help to provide strategies that can help minimize costs.
-
To determine how much home you can afford, you’ll want to assess your financial situation. This includes your income, expenses, and debt-to-income ratio, to ensure your mortgage fits comfortably within your budget. A general guideline is to spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing costs and 36% on total debt.
-
A good credit score typically starts at 620 for conventional loans, while FHA and VA loans may accept scores as low as 500, though higher scores offer better terms. A strong credit score can help you secure lower interest rates, saving you significant money over the life of a home loan.
-
A Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) is a revolving line of credit that allows homeowners to borrow against the equity in their home. HELOCs function like a credit card, giving access to funds up to a set limit, which can be used for expenses like renovations or debt consolidation. You only pay interest on the amount you borrow, and the repayment terms typically include a draw period followed by a repayment period.

To calculate your mortgage payments, start with your loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Your payment will depend on the interest charged over time and the repayment schedule. You can use a monthly mortgage payment calculator or connect with us to learn more.
