About Rachel Armstrong
Born and raised in Southeast Michigan, I always had a passion for numbers and helping others. After completing my degree in finance, I found my calling as a mortgage originator. I loved the idea of guiding families through the process of buying their homes, helping them achieve the American Dream. With dedication and a strong work ethic, I quickly built a reputation for being knowledgeable and approachable, fostering trust with clients and colleagues alike. As my career took off, so did my journey of motherhood. I am the proud mother of three energetic boys who bring so much joy in my life and the lives of others. Each boy brings a unique personality and boundless energy, turning my home into a whirlwind of activity. From football games to seasonal camping, every day is an adventure. I embrace the chaos, knowing that these moments are the foundation of lifelong memories. Balancing work and family can be challenging, but I have found joy in integrating my boys into my professional world. I instill in them the values of responsibility and the importance of hard work. They have become my little assistants, helping me with various marketing activities along the way that support my clients and referral partners. To complete our bustling household, we have our four-legged companion, Arlo, who provides companionship and plenty of laughter. Arlo's playful nature matches the boys' energy perfectly. He is always by our side, reminding us of the simple joys in life. I find fulfillment every day in both my career as a mortgage originator and my life as a mother of three boys and a doofus dog. Each day brings new challenges and joys, from navigating the complexities of home financing to the laughter and love shared within my family. I believe that my work and family life complement each other, creating a balanced and rewarding existence. In the end, it's all about building a future—both for my clients and my boys—filled with hope, happiness, and a place to call home.
