Hi there!

I’d like to take a moment to introduce myself and my team. I have been in this industry for over 20 years. The best part is I AM LOCAL! and originate for the entire state of Illinois. Our team of 7 consists of 4 loan originators along with 3 highly experienced support staff members who help facilitate transactions from initial application to closing. The Guerra Team's goal is to ensure that our c

lients and partners have an extraordinary experience from start to finish. We joined loanDepot in 2015, the best move my team and I could have made! loanDepot is the 2nd largest non-bank consumer direct lender in the nation which offers numerous products and financing options for our clients. Being able to build a relationship with our borrowers and work together hand in hand to help them reach their ultimate goal – HOME OWNERSHIP Is one of the many reasons why I love what I do!

🏡 CHICAGO HOMEBUYERS — NEW DPA OPPORTUNITY!

HomeGrown Purchase Assistance Grant
Applications Open June 8

✨ Eligible buyers may receive up to $70,000 in assistance toward their home purchase.

💡 How does it work?
The assistance amount is based on your eligibility, income, and the needs of your transaction — it is not a flat $70,000 for everyone.

In most cases, assistance is also capped as a percentage of the home purchase price (often up to around 25%), along with other program limits and guidelines.

Funds may help with:
✅ Down payment
✅ Closing costs
✅ Other approved home purchase costs

📍 Must purchase a primary residence in Chicago
📚 Homebuyer education required
📋 Program guidelines apply

Let’s review your options and see if this program may be a fit. 🏡

Being recognized as #2 in Units in Illinois and #16 in the country by NAHREP is truly an honor that is near and dear to my heart. As a proud Hispanic woman in this industry, this recognition means so much more than a number. It represents years of hard work, sacrifice, faith, perseverance, and the opportunity to help families achieve the dream of homeownership. ❤️

I would not be here without my incredible team who works tirelessly every single day, my amazing clients who continue to trust us during one of the biggest moments of their lives, and my business partners and referral partners who support and believe in us year after year. Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey.

Most importantly, thank you to my family for being my motivation behind everything I do. This achievement belongs to all of us.

To our Hispanic community — representation matters, and I hope this inspires others to continue chasing their goals and breaking barriers. 🇲🇽🏡✨

Another family is officially CLEAR TO CLOSE 🎉🏡

Our borrower came to us after being told that the financing program she originally qualified for was no longer going to work. Not the news you want to hear when you are less than 12 days away from your closing. Understandably, it was stressful, emotional, and time-sensitive.

We received the file on May 6th, got to work immediately, explored the best options for her situation, and today we are officially clear to close 🙌

Not only were we able to keep everything moving so she can close on time, but we were also able to secure a LOWER interest rate in the process 👏

Now she and her family get to move into their beautiful new home just in time to enjoy the warm weather ahead ☀️🏡

Huge thank you to everyone involved for trusting us and working together to make this happen. These are the moments that remind us why teamwork, communication, and having the right people in your corner matter so much.

Most importantly — we are beyond happy for our borrower. She truly deserves this new chapter for herself and her family ❤️

🚨 It’s That Time of Year Again… TAX BILL SEASON 🚨 If your mortgage payment includes escrow (taxes & insurance rolled into your monthly payment):

👉 YES — your property taxes are already being paid by your lender.
👉 YES — you will still receive a tax bill in the mail.

This is completely normal.

📬 Why did you get a bill?
Because the county always sends a copy to the homeowner — even when it’s being paid through your mortgage.

📌 What should you do with it?
✔️ Keep it for your records
✔️ Compare it if you’d like
✔️ File it away (or shred it — your choice!)

🚫 What you DON’T need to do:
Do NOT pay it again if you have an escrow account.

If you’re ever unsure, just reach out — that’s what I’m here for 🏡

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! 🚀
When they say it can’t be done, we say “Watch us.”
On Monday, April 27th, we took another rescue application for a borrower who was stuck in a loop with another lender. They were getting the runaround and being asked for documents that weren’t even necessary.
Fast forward to TODAY, April 30th—we are officially CLEAR TO CLOSE! 🥂
In just 72 hours, we took this deal from “stuck” to “sold.” We are beyond thrilled for our client and so grateful for the trust the partners put in us to get this across the finish line.
I couldn’t do this without my incredible support team at loanDepot. We don’t just process loans; we rescue dreams. 🏠💨

🚨 Rescue mission: SUCCESSFUL.
5 days from application → Clear to Close 🔥🏁
DSCR came through BIG on this one.

We structured this rescue deal as a DSCR loan, an incredible product for investment properties that does not require income documentation and keeps the process simple and efficient.

Thank you to everyone involved — the listing agent, buyer’s agent, attorneys, and my loanDepot team of processors, underwriters, and support staff who made this quick turnaround possible. I am truly humbled !!! ✨

Another rescue. Another close. The Guerra way

On to the next one. 🔥

SUCCESS STORY 🙌🏻✨This file came in after another lender hit a wall.
We took the application on March 12 and by March 19… we were Clear to Close.

Read that again — 5 business days ⏱️

No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just strategy, communication, and a team that executes.

And now?
A buyer gets keys to their home right as the weather starts turning ☀️🏡

Shoutout to:

💥 The agents on both sides for trusting us with the save
