My mortgage career began in 1986 with the goal of helping people get into the home of their dreams. I take pride in providing prompt and courteous service centered around each client’s specific needs.

We tried to do a VA refinance with our previous lender who denied us for some VA rule. We called Lori and she calmly told us that they didn’t know what they were doing and she had faith she could help us. She looked into the reasons the previous lender said they wouldn’t be able to do the VA loan, and said we were fine. She got us a great rate, lower fees, and closed the whole loan from application to signature in 3 weeks! I will always work with Lori and her team and would strongly recommend anyone reach out to her. She’s friendly, professional and responds extremely quickly. Even when she is spending time with her family. Lori, If you read this, thank you for everything! We went from panic and tears to a weight lifted off our shoulders and you and your team are directly responsible. Thank you, thank you, thank you! read less

She helped me plan out my down payment and worked with me on what would be best for my budget and situation. When we finally figured it out she locked me into an incredible mortgage rate. Lori was extremely easy to reach, wether it was texting or email, she would reply in a matter of minutes. She was always on top of everything and knew exactly what was going on, and what the next step would be. Like I said this was my very first time buying a home, I am single, and quite frankly was pretty nervous and scared about the whole process and knowing if this was truly the right decision for me. Lori answered all of my questions and showered me with education. She showed me that for the price of rent I could put that money back into myself and my future. She is also very competitive and likes to set goals and stick to them. I would highly recommend Lori as your lender. She is an awesome person that listens closely, care about you, and knows her job really well! She is AWESOME!! So happy! read less

Since we are retired and are living on a fixed income, we were not optimistic about being qualified for a refinance. When you deal with Lori, you are not dealing with a "loan committee". When she says it's a "go" it's a GO.

This is the 3rd house purchase in my lifetime and I never experienced such an easy lending process before. LORI IS TRULY ONE OF A KIND! Obviously taking pride in her profession and caring about her clients’ needs and wants with humor and a smile. She found exactly the right loan for me and responded to every question promptly even after business hours or on weekends. She has been gone way above and beyond the regular lender/client obligations supplying me with great references from a handyman to a housecleaner. I am very happy that I met Lori by chance and choosing her for my loan officer was the best decision I made this year! I hope her Management recognizes what a valued employee they have in her and lots of future customers will read all the positive reviews. read less

At this point I've used Lori for 2 purchases and 2 refi's. The first purchase I was under the gun and need to find a home, finance and move in under 27 days. We were done in 21. It was a VA loan. In the most recent there was also a time crunch. At each and every step of the way Lori was on the ball, kept me informed and executed flawlessly. And if she needed to work some magic to get something done faster than possible, she pulled it off. I couldn't recommend her more highly. Unfortunately Zillow only allows 5 stars. read less

You May Have More Negotiation Power When You Buy a Home Today
