Why I am a Mortgage Lender

I am driven by the belief that homeownership is essential to building a strong community. It provides individuals and families with a sense of stability and belonging. As a mortgage lender, I have the honor of helping people secure financing and build wealth for their future. Being part of someone’s dream of homeownership is incredibly fulfilling and strengthens the fabric of the community I care so deeply about.

My Experience

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management and Leadership from the University of Nebraska Omaha. There, I developed a solid foundation in financial principles and business leadership. My goal is to make the loan process as smooth and stress-free as possible for my clients, ensuring that they find the best mortgage option to suit their needs.

Important Information

1 First National Bank's Lock & Shop program locks the initial interest rate for 60 or 90 days on 15 and 30-year conventional, 30-year FHA and VA fixed-rate purchase loan products. Your exact interest rate will depend on the date you lock your rate. In order to obtain this rate, a fully executed purchase agreement must be received by First National Bank within 30 calendar days of a 60 day lock or 60 calendar days of a 90 day lock. You will have the option to extend the due date for the purchase agreement and the rate lock expiration one time by 15 days. In addition, you may exercise a float down in the rate to the current market rate within 7 calendar days of executing a purchase contract. Please contact your loan officer to exercise this float down option. Additional fees, conditions or exclusions may apply. This is neither a commitment to lend nor an approval of the loan inquiry. Any change in rate or fees may affect approval of the loan.
