💕 WANT A LENDER WHO WILL GO THE EXTRA MILE? 💕

🚗 Well, today I went 236 MILES for a first-time homebuyer! 🏡💗

And you know what? I’d do it all over again!

The extra phone calls, the ONE more text, the last-minute emails, the late nights, the weekends, and yes… even the miles on my car! 😂

That’s what separates a GOOD lender from a GREAT lending partner!

💗 I don’t just quote rates. I find solutions.

💗 I don’t just take applications. I build relationships.

💗 I don’t just work 9 to 5. I’m there when you need me.

💗 I don’t just tell you NO. I look for every possible YES.

💗 I don’t just care about closing your loan. I care about YOU and your experience.

And to my Realtor partners, I know your reputation is on the line when you refer a client to me. That’s something I NEVER take lightly!

Am I always going to have the lowest rate? Maybe not. But you better believe I’m going to fight for the best options available AND give you service that’s hard to beat!

Because at the end of the day, you’re not just another loan number, and I’m not just another lender!

I’m your advocate, your problem solver, your biggest cheerleader, and sometimes apparently your long-distance driver! 😂🚗

236 miles today. How far will I go for YOU?

Going the extra mile isn’t just something I say. It’s something I DO!

Your home’s equity may help make your next move possible. A Bridge HELOC allows qualified homeowners to access equity in their current home, which may help with expenses associated with purchasing a new home before their existing home sells.

Before the boxes take over, give your new home a quick check! 🏡📦 Test the A/C and drains, check for pests, clean the dryer vent, and replace dirty filters. Don’t forget to find your water and gas shutoffs, too.

Save this for moving day or share it with someone getting the keys! 🔑

🏡 Appraisals are getting a major update.

Starting November 2, 2026, UAD 3.6 becomes mandatory for new appraisal submissions to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Instead of traditional static forms, the new system uses a more detailed, dynamic reporting structure designed to capture more information about the property.

What does that mean? The details matter more than ever.

If a home has an updated kitchen, new flooring, remodeled bathrooms or other improvements, having clear information about those updates can help tell the complete story of the property.

📋 REALTORS®, sellers and lenders: this is one change worth getting familiar with now.

💗🖤 THE LOWEST RATE ISN’T ALWAYS THE BEST LENDER… BUT TODAY I GOT TO BE BOTH! 💪🏡

I say it all the time in my posts… I may not always be the lowest-rate lender in town, but I will always fight to give you the BEST experience possible!

Well, TODAY I beat out TWO online lenders on BOTH interest rate AND rate cost! 🎉 And guess what? I didn’t even have to offer a lender credit to do it!

Now THAT is a good day! 🙌

But here’s the thing…

Winning on rate feels GREAT, but being a trusted referral partner, giving buyers peace of mind, building relationships, and being part of an incredible team here at Presidential is what REALLY matters to me.

I am genuinely thankful for EVERY buyer, past client, Realtor, and referral partner I’ve had the opportunity to work with. Even those I no longer work with. And I’m just as thankful for the relationships I haven’t built YET! 💕

So what makes The Mortgage Shero different? 🦸🏼‍♀️

💕 LOYALTY — I value relationships, not just transactions.

💕 HONESTY — I’ll tell you what you NEED to hear, not just what you WANT to hear.

💕 OPTIONS — I fight to find the best available program, rate, and terms for YOUR situation.

💕 COMMUNICATION — My team and I keep everyone informed throughout the process.

💕 CLOSINGS — We work hard to close ON TIME or EARLY!

💕 EXPERIENCE — We have a wide variety of loan programs because every buyer’s situation is different!

Now, let’s talk about something else I see advertised all the time… 👀

🏡 VA loans with a 500 credit score? YES, we have options for that too! But what those flashy advertisements don’t always explain is that certain programs may require 10% down, and approval can be challenging.

🏡 FHA loans down to a 500 credit score? YES! But with scores below 580, FHA generally requires at least 10% down, and additional lender requirements may apply.

And let’s be real… coming up with a large down payment isn’t easy for everyone in today’s market!

Here’s the difference with me:

I’m not going to tell you that EVERYONE can buy a house TODAY just to get you to apply.

I’m going to help you understand where you stand, what your options REALLY are, and what steps you may need to take to get where you want to be.

Sometimes that means buying NOW. Sometimes that means making a PLAN.

Either way, I’m not giving up on you! 💪

Whether you’re a buyer looking for answers or a Realtor looking for a lending partner who will fight for your clients, I’m your girl!

🏡 Buyers may have more negotiating power right now.

More homes are sitting on the market longer, and more sellers are adjusting their asking prices. In September, 20.8% of listings had a price reduction, the highest September share since 2018.

That can create opportunities for buyers who know how to approach the negotiation. A strong offer isn't always about offering the highest price. Terms, timing and financing strategy can all play a role.

More choices can mean more leverage. Know how to use it.
