Based in Sterling Heights, Michigan, I've been assisting clients with their home loan needs for the past 14 years.

1Rate 6.995% with an APR of 7.149% as of 12/5/2024 2:03 PM EST. The APR calculation is based on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in the amount of $240,000 for the purchase of a single-family, primary residence with 80% loan-to-value (LTV) or 20% down payment, minimum borrower credit score of 740, and estimated points of 1% of the loan amount, and origination fee of $1,295 with 360 monthly payments in the amount of $1,596.
