Licensed Mortgage Broker & Real Estate Professional
23+ Years of Proven Excellence | Serving South Florida Families Since 2002
My Story
My journey began in 2002 at Lancaste Investments and Selecto Homes, where I spent nine transformative years building my foundation in mortgage lending. I learned to navigate market fluctuations—including the 2008 financial crisis—and developed an unwavering commitment to putting clients first.
That commitment led me to Fifth Third Bank (2011-2014) as Financial Center Manager, where I deepened my understanding of financial products and honed leadership skills. I then returned to my true passion—mortgage lending—working with industry leaders like Wells Fargo, Caliber Home Loans, and loanDepot.
In February 2020, I founded Preferred Homes Corp to offer something unique: comprehensive, client-centered service combining mortgage financing with real estate guidance under one roof.
💡 What sets me apart isn't just experience—it's relationships. Every client is a partner, every loan is personal, and every closing is a celebration of dreams achieved.
