About Maureen

Home financing can feel like a maze. But with the best guidance, the process can be simple and easy! As a loan professional for over 20 years, my goal is to structure your loan to best fit your budget. Whether you’re buying a new home or refinancing, it’s a big deal. That’s why I’ll place you and your needs at the front of everything we do.

Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, seasoned homeowner, or experienced real estate investor, we offer mortgage products designed to meet your needs. My team and I will communicate every step of the way to ensure we exceed your expectations. We’ll give you one-on-one attention to understand your unique circumstances and personalize the process. From application to closing, count on us to get it done.

We promise to give you the right mortgage for your goals, transparency, fair fees, and the lowest rate possible. I believe a mortgage should be about building a lifelong relationship, not just a transaction. Contact me today and experience the difference.
