Home equity loans are a great way to gain some extra cash for home improvements, debt consolidation, or other big purchases you’re looking to make. Like any loan, it’s important to understand how a home equity loan works before getting one.
I have lived in Brighton for the last 25 years with my husband and twin daughters. Both girls are graduates of Brighton High School and Michigan State University and are nurses. We have loved living in Brighton and raising our family.
After many years of owning and operating a local fitness center, I set my sights on an even grander vision of how I could help people and thus entered the mortgage industry. My past experience has set me up for great success as a Mortgage Professional for the last 8 years by helping others achieve their goals. My focus has shifted from keeping my clients physically fit to financially fit.
My top priority is to help my clients by developing strong relationships and to understand their financial goals. Whether they are consolidating their debt, refinancing their home, or buying their first home, I want to educate them along the way, making the process as simple and pleasant as possible.
