About Me
Immigrated from the Dominican Republic to the United States (Bronx, NY) at 14 years old. My mother, sister, and I moved to Atlantic County, NJ area for better job opportunities, obtaining my first official job at 15. I started work as a local Real Estate Agent at 22, while still working in the Atlantic City, NJ Hotel & Casinos. The mortgage industry found me at 23. My career path started, from LOA/Production Assistant to Loan Processor and then Home Loan Consultant. In between, I purchased my first home at 25!
With over 25 years of experience, I know the ins and outs of various loan products to fit my diverse client base including affordable mortgage solutions and down payment assistance programs. From a first-time homebuyer to a seasoned homeowner, as a believer of “knowledge is power”, I’ll not only walk them through the mortgage process, but also explain it along the way. Today my business thrives on past client’s referrals and established Real Estate Agents, yet I strive to reach the future generation of homeowners and Real Estate agents. I’m proud to have been included in the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals® Top 250 Latino Mortgage Originators
I’m just as proud to have completed Freddie Mac® CreditSmart® Coach’s Certified Facilitator training, which equips me to teach the CreditSmart® Essentials financial capability curriculum to share steps and provide resources to become a homeowner while planning for sustainable homeownership and financial well-being. As well as completing the Accredited Mortgage Professional℠, a specialist designation by the Mortgage Bankers Association that recognizes the achievements of individuals through their pursuit of educational excellence, experience, and performance, the knowledge of the principles and practices of mortgage banking.
