I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Vanessa. I’ve been a loan officer for about 18 years now, and honestly, what’s kept me in this business that long is the people. I really enjoy getting to know my clients and helping them feel confident about such a big decision.
Buying a home is a huge milestone, and it’s not just about numbers on a page. I’ll make sure you feel comfortable with the process and excited about where you’re headed — not overwhelmed by it.
I’m also flexible and easy to reach. If you have questions at night or on the weekend, that’s totally fine — just reach out. Every situation is different, so I’ll work with you to find a loan that fits your goals. My job is to make this feel straightforward and doable.
Outside of work, I’m a sports mom, wife, dog mom and hobby farmer. Living in the country teaches you to be resourceful and stick with things — and that mindset shows how I help my clients through the mortgage process.
If you ever want to talk through options or just have questions, I’m here.
— Vanessa

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.
