Sometimes the numbers just don’t work, and I’m not the loan officer who will force them to.

Yesterday, I had someone reach out to me about refinancing. Unfortunately, after a job loss in their family, they found themselves in a hard spot. They had just bought their home less than a year ago and needed to tap into their equity to pay off some debt.

After carefully reviewing everything, I had to deliver the bad news, it just didn’t work. And not only did it not work, but even if their debt to income ratio had supported it, they would have been taking on a higher interest rate, paying closing costs, paying for an appraisal that may not have even come back at the value needed, and walking away with far less cash than they were hoping for. In the end, it just didn’t seem like it made financial sense.

After speaking with them about it, they informed me that other lenders were able to make it work. I told them what to look out for to help protect themselves, and that if they found someone who could do it and they truly felt the pros outweighed the cons, I wished them nothing but the best. But from our end, it just didn’t work.

Here’s the hard part about this job: telling someone the numbers aren’t lining up, especially when you know they’re already in a difficult situation. It never feels good to deliver that kind of news.

Either way, I offered my help. I let them know that if they wanted me to review any Loan Estimates or fee estimates they received, I’d be more than happy to do so to make sure they weren’t being charged excessive fees and fully understood what they were signing.

I also reminded them that I’m here for them no matter what.

Honesty and transparency matter.

Doing what’s right for the client even when it doesn’t result in a loan matters.

That’s the kind of loan officer I’ll always strive to be.

No ghosting. No guessing. No surprises.
Just honesty, clarity, and guidance.

Not all loan experiences are the same.

Here’s what I would NOT do as your loan officer 👇

🏡 Here’s How to Shop Smarter as a First Time Home Buyer 👇🏼

Recently, I’ve been seeing a lot of videos on social media from homeowners who are shocked, frustrated and even emotionally distraught because their mortgage payment increased after closing.

The truth is, they’re often told that their mortgage payment is “fixed” and cannot change but what many lenders don’t fully explain is that while your principal and interest payment may be fixed, other parts of your housing payment can increase over time.

Your monthly mortgage payment is typically made up of:

Principal – The portion of your payment that goes toward paying down your loan balance.

Interest – The cost of borrowing the money.

Property Taxes – Taxes assessed by your local government.

Homeowners Insurance – Insurance that protects your home from covered losses.

Mortgage Insurance – May be required depending on the loan type and down payment amount.

Here’s the part many buyers don’t realize:

Your principal and interest payment won’t change if you have a fixed rate mortgage.

However, your property taxes and homeowners insurance premiums can increase, and they often do over time.

When that happens, your mortgage servicer may adjust your escrow payment, which means your total monthly payment can increase even though your loan’s interest rate never changed.

That’s why I try to encourage my buyers to shop based on a comfortable monthly payment…not the maximum amount they’re approved for.

Give yourself room in your budget for future increases, home maintenance, and life’s unexpected expenses.

The goal isn’t to buy the most house you can qualify for.

The goal is to buy a home you can comfortably afford long after closing

One of the most meaningful parts of what I do as a loan officer is helping families realize there may still be opportunities available to them after unimaginable loss. 🤍

Many surviving spouses of Veterans may still be eligible for VA home loan benefits, even after their spouse has passed away. I meet so many people who simply don’t know this benefit can continue in certain situations.

I just helped a surviving spouse get pre-approved, and now she’ll be house shopping for her and her children.

While eligibility and loan approval are never guaranteed and every situation is unique, it’s always worth having a conversation and exploring the options available to you.

For the spouses carrying on after sacrifice, service, and heartbreak…you deserve support, guidance, and someone willing to help you navigate the process with care.

If you or someone you know has questions about surviving spouse VA loan eligibility, I’m always happy to be a resource. 🇺🇸🏡

Let’s talk FHA loans 👇

If you’ve been told you need perfect credit or a huge down payment to buy a home… that’s not always true.

FHA loans are designed to help more people become homeowners, especially first time buyers 💥

Here’s why people love them:
✨ Low down payment sometimes as little as 3.5%
✨ More flexible credit guidelines
✨ Higher debt to income ratios allowed
✨ Gift funds are allowed (with rules)

BUT let’s keep it real…they come with a trade off:
⚠️ Mortgage insurance is required
⚠️ Property has to meet certain condition standards
⚠️ Loan limits apply depending on your area

FHA loans can be a great stepping stone into homeownership, especially if you’re not sitting on a ton of savings or you’re still building your credit!

The key is knowing if it fits your situation and that’s where I help!

Thinking about buying but not sure where you fall? Let’s talk 🏡
