Service and satisfaction is my highest priority. I strive to address my clients’ needs in a courteous, timely, and focused manner. It begins with an education on the various mortgage products and ever changing guidelines. Next I help them navigate through the application process and assist them with a checklist to gather the appropriate information for a smooth sail to close. As a Home Mortgage Consultant, my job is also to manage expectations for all parties involved; Realtors, Attorneys, Buyers & Sellers. This helps to guarantee a seamless transaction. Over the years, I’ve found this level of service provides my clients a better understanding about their mortgage needs, resulting in a happy Borrower/Home Owner and Realtor!

I love meeting and working with new people, I have always worked with the public – I started out as a buyer for a department store (Jordan Marsh) – then I met my future husband and moved to MA in in 1985 where I worked for Reebok, while at Reebok I outfitted the endorsed athletes and brought their first performance line to retail. I truly loved working with the athletes, their families, agents and friends. From there I started working with my husband who is a plastering contractor and builder – in the late 80′s my husband started buying houses from builders going under, from there we would finish the home and I would list them for sale. This was my start in real estate we built homes of all sizes from capes to large luxury homes-when buyers started asking me to sell their homes went and got my license to sell real estate and have been doing so for over 16 years. I currently reside in Foxboro with my family.
