I’ll be with you every step of the way

Hi, I’m Shannen, a dedicated loan officer with America’s #1 Retail Mortgage Lender. With determination and a focus on personal care, I help first-time homebuyers finance the home of their dreams. My background in business has taught me how to listen, educate and find solutions that truly fit people’s goals.

 

I joined the mortgage industry in 2025 because I was ready for a new challenge and a change in my career. I wanted more freedom in my schedule while still being able to embrace an entrepreneurial mindset. Being a loan officer allows me to combine independence with the drive and determination that comes with building something of my own.

 

Aside from helping people finance their dream homes, I’m a mother with three beautiful children. Together, we love trying out new experiences! Every year, I try to go somewhere new with my family to make memories together. My goal in life is to teach my children to always have goals that will lead to happiness.
