I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hi, I’m Brenda, the originating branch manager of the Bloomfield Hills, MI team at America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. Life is never boring when you’ve been married for over 25 years, raised twin boys, sent them off to your alma mater for college, and have more than 30 years in lending. I wouldn’t have made it this far if I didn’t love every minute of what I do! If I were only allowed to describe myself in a few words, they would be funny, authentic, direct, and full of life. All of this endears me to my clients and allows me to follow my dream of making a difference in the lives of others.
Guiding new clients through big picture planning, with education and extensive number crunching, is what I do to ensure your mortgage is best suited to help you reach your financial goals. I offer a wide range of products, from conventional and jumbo, to FHA, VA, and renovation. Together, we will walk through the steps of your home financing journey.

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.
