Some news I'm genuinely proud of. 🏆

CrossCountry Mortgage was just rated the #1 retail mortgage lender for the third year in a row — and as I come up on my first year here, I can tell you exactly why.

The depth of the product suite is unlike anything I've seen. There are plenty of great lenders out there, but the range we have here means I can say "yes" to clients and partners I would've had to refer out somewhere else. Having a real answer, a real solution, a product that actually fits — that's what lets me show up as a true go-to for the people who trust me.

Three years running. Can't wait to help make it four. 🙌

Quick myth-bust: the "best deal" on your mortgage is NOT just the lowest rate someone can find. 🏡

"Best deal" means something different to every buyer.

Depending on your situation, it could be:
• The most affordable cash to close on closing day
• A permanent or temporary rate buydown to make your monthly payment more comfortable
• The deal that gets you to the closing table fastest — so your offer gets accepted, sometimes even at a lower price than a buyer who can't move as quickly
• The most flexible terms
• A low-documentation loan, for when you don't have the time or ability to provide a mountain of paperwork

If you're thinking about buying, let's get together, define what "best deal" actually means for YOU, and then execute it. 👇

Popstar or Rockstar? Either way, I’m talking Non-QM loans and I’m not sorry about it 😂🎸

Had the best time speaking to agents today at the Women’s Council of Realtors San Diego “Popstars vs Rockstars” event…and if this sparked any questions about your self-employed or investor clients, my DMs are open! 📩

Storytime — the worst review I've ever received. 😅

It accused me of charging hidden points, rushing to cover it up, and being downright dishonest. "Not worth trusting." One star.

Here's the twist: this person never closed a loan with me. They used a fake name and a fake location, applied for a mortgage, weren't eligible for financing, and then invented an entire transaction that never happened. One of the giveaways was the claim that they had "over 5,000 clients they could've referred" — astonishing lengths to make up a scenario that never took place.

We were able to get it removed from most platforms. But I'm sharing it because there's a real lesson here: always do your homework and read reviews before you trust someone with the biggest financial decision of your life.

Just read them with a discerning eye — because not all of them are real.

"Extremely intimidating." That's how Daniel described buying his first home - and honestly, that's how a lot of people feel before we start.

Here's the thing: the process is a lot. But it shouldn't feel like you're navigating it alone in the dark. Every person on my team has one job - to keep you informed, answer the questions, and make the confusing parts clear.

You don't have to be an expert. That's what we're here for. 🤍

"Non-warrantable" does not have to mean "no." 🏢

I just got a buyer clear to close on a condo that most lenders wouldn't have touched. The project has active, critical repairs underway — and I mean critical. Roughly half the buildings will be lifted off their foundations next year, have the foundations replaced, and set back down.

This wasn't a couple of cosmetic fixes.
We pulled together all the documentation on the repairs and how they'd be paid for, and got him officially clear to close. I'm so excited for him. 🙌

If you — or a client — are looking at a condo that's non-warrantable because of investor concentration, unbudgeted reserves, condotel features, or critical repairs, don't assume it's a dead end. Reach out and let me give you a real second opinion.

Good news for anyone planning to buy this year. 🏡

The latest Fannie Mae / Pulsenomics home price expectation survey just came out, and the forecasts are healthy: about 2.5% appreciation over the next year and just over 14% cumulatively across five years.

Here's what that looks like in real dollars on a $500,000 home:
• ~$12,500 in equity in year one
• ~$70,000 over five years
And remember — these are average estimates, not guarantees. We're not cherry-picking the rosiest number. If things tilt positive, there's even more room to grow.

Curious what this could mean for your budget and timeline? Send me a message and let's map it out. 👇

"My credit is too bad to buy a home." 🏡

I hear this almost every week. And it's almost never true.

FHA loans allow credit scores as low as 500.

Here's the catch:
👉 500-579: you'll need at least 10% down
👉 580+: you can put as little as 3.5% down

So if you've been telling yourself "someday when my credit is better" — let's actually look at the numbers. You might be a lot closer than you think​!

DM me and I'll run a soft pull (zero impact to your credit) to see exactly where you stand.

She's an attorney. Financially responsible. Great credit history. And being an authorized user on her parents' card almost cost her the house 😬

Here's what happened: she'd been on her parents' credit card for years. They used it for everything and paid it off in full each month.

But the moment we pulled credit for her mortgage, the card happened to be carrying a HIGH balance that cycle. That high utilization showed up on HER report and tanked her scores.

Being an authorized user can absolutely help your credit — IF the cardholder keeps utilization low at all times. But you have ZERO control over their spending. That's the risk no one tells you about.

If you're on someone else's card and thinking about buying a home in the next 6-12 months — let's pull a soft credit check and see what's actually showing up. DM me.
