Mortgage Brokers

With over 25 years in the mortgage financing industry, I am excited to help you navigate through the numerous mortgage choices to make sure we find the most suitable financing for YOUR situation!

In the industry, I’m well-known for my incredible customer service; focusing on getting back to clients quickly and having patience in answering all sorts of questions. I don’t shy away from hard work and have always loved working with clients and learning about their needs so that I could craft tailored solutions for each client’s needs. I’ve had my mortgage broker’s license for over 20 years, and with access to a TON of lenders, I might be just able to provide options that you may not have even thought of.

The financial aspects of obtaining a mortgage can be stressful and complicated, but, they don’t have to be, with a trained and caring professional.

I love my work but I also enjoy spending time with my family, travelling, having (and cooking!) a great meal, and I am a “fair weather” golfer.
