Thank YOU, Meg! We are eternally grateful to have your support. Can’t wait to do it again today! ✨

Still thinking about last night’s Lender Lounge…

Huge shoutout to Emily O’Brien - HUNT Mortgage Consultant - NMLS #2341865 for putting together such a valuable and welcoming event—and to Karen Fuhrey for bringing not only incredible insight, but also the kind of humor that makes learning actually stick.

One of my biggest takeaways: PMI (private mortgage insurance) isn’t always the “bad” option people think it is. Depending on how you structure your loan, it can actually make more sense to keep more cash on hand instead of putting everything into the down payment.

If you joined us, I’d love to hear—what stood out to you or shifted your perspective?

And if you missed this one, don’t worry… we’ve got more coming 👀

Mortgage guidelines are complicated… but buyer questions? Sometimes even more complicated. 😂

Over the years I’ve been asked some truly unhinged things during the home buying process.

Today I’m sharing a few that live rent-free in my head. 🏡🔑

(No buyers were harmed in the making of this post.)

They stop treating listings like entertainment. All winter I see people casually saving homes — the dream kitchens, the big yards, the houses that are fun to imagine. Then spring listings start hitting their feed and the tone of the messages changes. Instead of “Look at this house ” It becomes “Wait… could I actually make this one work?” That’s usually the moment the home search turns from scrolling Zillow at night into figuring out what’s actually possible. Spring has a funny way of doing that.

Congratulations to all of my fellow Mortgage Consultants and the outstanding Sales Professionals who were recognized at the HUNT Awards Ceremony for 2025! It’s pretty special to be surrounded by so many talented and hardworking people.

I was honored to receive both the Mortgage Rising Star Award and President’s Club – Bronze for 2025. 🏆

These awards represent something I care deeply about - helping clients and real estate partners navigate the mortgage process with clarity, strategy, and support.

Whether it’s a first-time buyer, a move-up purchase, or finding creative solutions to make a deal work, I’m thankful for every person who trusted me to be part of the process.

To all of the clients and agents who worked with me this year - thank you. I appreciate you more than you know.

Let’s keep building momentum in 2026! 🏡⚡️
