One of the biggest myths buyers are still holding onto: “Rates will go back to 3%.”
Those rates didn’t happen because the economy was healthy. They happened because something was wrong.
For mortgage rates to hit 3% again, we’d likely see:
• A major recession
• Rising unemployment
• Businesses pulling back
• Lending getting tighter, not easier
Low rates aren’t a reward. They’re an emergency response.
And let’s remember what came with them last time:
Prices skyrocketed. Buyers accepted tougher terms to win. Competition was brutal.
Cheap money didn’t make homes more affordable, it made them harder to acquire.
Smart buyers don’t wait for “perfect” rates. They buy when the math, leverage, and life line up.

Finally got around to opening the mail and found this surprise waiting for me.
In today’s market, everyone has the “best” rates or programs or {insert competitive edge here}. But there’s a huge difference when it comes to delivering on what truly matters—speed, efficiency, and getting the job done.
This recognition is a reminder that promises mean nothing without ex*****on. When I say we’ll close fast, I mean it. No delays, no excuses—just results.
Big thanks to for the recognition and to my amazing clients and partners for trusting me to make it happen! 🚀

It’s the start of a new month, a new quarter, a new season.
In the real estate space, most people are looking at the Spring market in terms of new inventory and rates. But this time of year also means the start of PCS season for many active duty military members and their families.
Recently, I had the chance to connect with Amanda Howard of Coldwell Banker. We chatted about our experiences as military spouses and how this helps us relate to and assist our VA clients during their real estate transactions.
It was a great conversation with Amanda, and I encourage you to reach out to us if you would like to learn more about the process!

I sat here wordsmithing a smart, professional post about my lack of social media presence… But truthfully, I back-burnered this part of my business for far too long 🤷🏻♀️
With that said, here’s a recent-ish picture of a fun content day and the promise (mostly to myself because I doubt anyone else cares) that I will get better at my business social media game and provide valuable content.
Can I do it? We’ll see!
✨Stay Tuned for all the fun✨

What is a mortgage broker?
Ask Google, and the search results will tell you a mortgage broker is an intermediary that brings mortgage borrowers and mortgage lenders together but does not use their own funds to originate mortgages.
Ask Uncle Bob, and he’ll say a mortgage broker a middleman.
Ask a mortgage loan officer, and they’ll say a mortgage broker is an independent mortgage loan originator who can originate loans on behalf of multiple lenders.
And while these definitions aren’t incorrect, a mortgage broker, specifically Mortgage Unity] , is so much more than that.
At Mortgage Unity] , we assist prospective homeowners in identifying their individual needs, understanding the financing options available to them, and then leveraging this into achieving their homeownership goal. But assisting our clients in achieving homeownership is not based on our individual effort alone. We collaborate with our agents, attorneys, financial advisors, and other relevant parties in the real estate transaction to make it a seamless experience from the very beginning of the process to well after your closing day.
Want to know more about our process and how we can help you achieve your homeownership goals? Or are you looking for a partner to collaborate with and enhance your real estate business goals? I’d love to hear from you to see how we can help make that happen!

This isn’t your standard intro business social media post… okay… maybe it is.
Hey! I’m Meg, I’m a Senior Loan Officer with but I promise that’s the least interesting thing about me.
I love my clients, I love my business partners, I love what I do. But, more than anything, I love spending my time with family, friends, and my pup, Maia.
Is that still too cliche?
Okay, here’s a real one, I love drinking peach (kiwi is a close second) High Noons at East Matunuck and eating a clam cakes in the parking lot of Cap’n Jacks at the end of the summer day.
I’ll talk business and why I’m different in my next post. Thanks for visiting 😊

Five moves in six years, three states, and many new friends along the way - the life of a military significant other moves at lightning speed. Despite the many moves and constant changes, this life afforded me the opportunity to meet, and work with, hundreds of new people.
Diving head first into the mortgage industry offered me the chance to help my friends and clients realize their dreams of home-ownership. Combining my extensive experience in customer service, with my degree in Business, I find myself able to uniquely connect with people from all walks of life, and help them achieve whatever goals they set for themselves.
Whether it's a purchase of a first home or investment, or a refinance to consolidate debt, the end result is to place my client in a loan program that best suits their needs. While a passion for doing this job is necessary to do it well, a need for honesty, integrity, and transparency is necessary to ensure a client's total satisfaction. It is one thing to close a loan, but it is another to close a loan that helps the client achieve their personal goals.
Besides my passion for helping others, I enjoy spending time with my husband and pup, visiting our friends throughout New England, and daydreaming about a day when I won't have to shovel snow.
