I am a veteran of the real estate industry with 12 years experience at a real estate investment firm where we helped renters become home-owners. I fell in love with helping people accomplish their life-long goal of home ownership so in 2020 when the company I was working for got sold, I decided to become licensed and pursue a career as a mortgage specialist. There is nothing more satisfying than helping my clients understand the process and accomplish their real estate goals. Ask anyone who's worked with me and they will tell you how I go above and beyond in what would otherwise be a stressful process. I can always be reached by phone, text or email and even if I'm at a South Carolina football game or on the golf course, I will take your call and help answer your questions to the best of my ability.
