Yani Nufio

A University of Houston graduate and Houston-native mortgage loan officer, Yani Nufio has been helping first-time buyers, veterans, and families in the greater Houston area find their way home since 2014. Based in Houston, Texas, Yani is a Loan Officer at Synergy One Lending, NMLS #1907235, NMLS #1190046, serving buyers across Houston, Katy, Cypress, The Woodlands, Conroe, and Sugar Land. Her specialty is income calculation and loan program guidelines, a technical skill set that makes the difference for borrowers who have been denied elsewhere not because of their financial situation but because their previous lender did not know how to work the file correctly.

Yani is the loan officer clients find after someone else gets it wrong. The deals closest to her heart are not necessarily the biggest or most straightforward. They are the ones where a qualified borrower was turned away because a prior lender lacked the program knowledge or income calculation skills to structure the loan correctly. Getting those clients approved and watching them reach the closing table is what drives her every day.

What clients consistently thank Yani for is her expertise and her patience. Those two traits travel together in her practice. She embeds one piece of guidance into nearly every client conversation: do not open new credit or apply for new debt during the homebuying process. It seems simple. It protects transactions that would otherwise fall apart in underwriting.

Yani graduated from the University of Houston in 2014 and entered the mortgage industry the same year, giving her a career built entirely in and around the Houston market. She knows the neighborhoods, the new construction corridors, and the difference between how buyers in Montrose approach homeownership and how buyers in The Woodlands or Sugar Land are thinking about it. That local fluency is something a lender in another city cannot replicate.

Outside work, Yani reads widely, favoring fiction alongside self-help, psychology, and business communication. She takes long walks through Houston neighborhoods and loves the aesthetic energy of the Montrose area. Her family, including a daughter with Ivy League ambitions, keeps her motivated to perform at her highest level every day.
