I’ll be with you every step of the way
Hello! My name is Meredith Lewis, and I’m a loan officer at our Peabody, MA branch serving homebuyers and homeowners with support from America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender.
I joined the mortgage industry in 2006 and have enjoyed helping clients achieve their homeownership goals ever since. I specialize in purchase and refinance loans, including FHA, VA and conforming loan programs. My goal is to make the mortgage process as smooth as possible by keeping my clients informed, educated and confident every step of the way.
Outside of work, I’ve been happily married since 2005, and my husband and I are proud parents of a son who is beginning college this fall, where he’ll also be playing basketball. We’re devoted Boston Celtics fans, and I’m honored to serve as a board member for First Friends, a nonprofit daycare and preschool in Worcester.
Whether you’re buying a home or refinancing, I’m here to provide trusted guidance and personalized service from start to finish.

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.
