About Me

---

I am a life-long resident of the south suburbs of Chicago (except for an 8-month stint in the frozen tundra called Minnesota) and am currently living in my childhood home.  I attended St. Damian Catholic School in Oak Forest and Marist High School on the south side of Chicago.  In 1992-ish I graduated from the University of Illinois with a BS in BA.

After that brief stint in Minnesota I talked about, I moved back to the Chicago area and have been in the mortgage business ever since.  With over 18 years of experience, I know how to find the right loan for each and every customer. What's even better? I can give you advice - for free. So if you're in a loan you can no longer afford, or you're worried about getting your first home loan, just give me a call and let me tell you a little bit about your options. No obligations - just good information.

Worried about your current loan?
It's all over the news that thousands of people are finding themselves unable to afford their home loans and facing foreclosure. There's no doubt that when an ARM loan adjusts you could be paying more. Give me a call and let me walk you through the facts - and your options - BEFORE your loan adjusts. Chances are, there's a way to fix the problem before it even starts.

Always work with an experienced mortgage professional
During the recent "mortgage crisis", we heard a lot about "fly by night" mortgage brokers who had little training and no experience before they started selling their customers loans they didn't understand, and couldn't afford. No matter WHO you use for your mortgage, please make sure they have experience and knowledge to help you find the right loan for YOU.

There's an old saying that when all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. In the mortgage world, this is very true. Some mortgage professionals will only sell one type of mortgage because it is all they sell, or it is the one that makes them the most money. This is never the right way to help people finance real estate.

True mortgage professionals have access to a wide variety of loan programs and can find the right one for you. Don't be fooled, and never be afraid to ask questions. It's your money and your future - be smart about it.

Have more questions? Give me a call.
I love my job, and I love helping people achieve their dreams - whether it's as a home owner or a property investor. If you have a question, please feel free to call or email. I'd love to help!
