Carol has been a mortgage loan officer for 20+ years. She is not a transactional lender, but one who has built relationships and her business, by referrals from past customers, realtors, family and friends. It is important to work with the buyer to make sure they understand all of their mortgage options, and she helps educate them on all aspects of particular loan programs, including the mortgage insurance, to allow them to choose the right program that fits with their future financial plans.
She works with first-time home owners, as well as those purchasing their million dollar dream homes and everything in between. She takes a personal interest in each of her clients and provides customized, responsive service, including after hours and weekends if that meets the client's schedule best.
