  • What is your "why"? Why do you do what you do?
    My "Why" – Helping Families Find Their Path to Homeownership
    I do what I do because I grew up watching my single mother struggle with the idea of homeownership—not because she wasn’t hardworking, but because she didn’t have access to the right information or guidance. I know firsthand how overwhelming and confusing the mortgage process can be, especially for those who don’t have someone in their corner.

    That experience shaped my mission: to educate and empower people, so they don’t feel lost in the home-buying process the way my mom did. I want to make sure families—whether they’re first-time buyers or experienced homeowners—understand their options and feel confident in making one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives.

    Beyond that, I see homeownership as a wealth-building tool that can transform lives. I take pride in helping my clients not only buy a home but make smart financial moves that set them up for long-term success. Whether it’s guiding them through credit improvement, finding a program that makes homeownership more affordable, or structuring a mortgage that aligns with their goals, I want to be the trusted advisor who makes the journey smoother.

    At the end of the day, it’s about making a difference. I don’t just close loans—I open doors to opportunity, stability, and generational wealth. That’s my “why.”
  • Qualifying Questions: What are three questions we can ask clients to help pave the way for a referral? List them here.
    1. Who else do you know that might be considering buying a home this year? This question keeps the conversation open-ended and invites them to think about friends, family, or coworkers who might be in the market.

    2. Have you had any conversations with friends or family about how today’s rates and market conditions affect homeownership? This helps uncover potential referrals by prompting them to recall recent discussions. If they mention someone, you can offer to provide helpful insights.

    3. Is there a real estate agent you’re working with, or do you need a great recommendation? If they already have an agent, this builds rapport and opens the door to networking. If not, it allows you to refer a business partner, strengthening your value in the process.
