I know what it's like to be in your shoes. When I bought my first home four years ago, I remember the uncertainty — the questions about what steps to take next, and how to find the right house that truly fit my life. That experience, combined with my background in mortgage lending, makes me a uniquely equipped agent for today's homebuyers in Elkhart County and across Michiana.
Before entering real estate, I worked in the mortgage department at a local Credit Union — which means I bring a rare level of financial insight to every transaction. I can help buyers understand the numbers that really matter: income requirements, debt-to-income ratios, and what it takes to get approved. I also keep a close eye on emerging trends, from AI tools to the latest software, so my clients benefit from a tech-savvy agent who's always ahead of the curve.
Having lived in Elkhart County my whole life, I have an authentic understanding of the area. I love that I can enjoy the peace of small-town living while still having South Bend, Mishawaka, and even Chicago within easy reach. Whether I'm guiding a nervous first-time buyer through their first offer or helping a growing family find more space, my approach is grounded in honesty, patience, and a genuine desire to make the process feel manageable.
When I'm not helping clients find home, you'll usually find me crocheting, reading a good book, or spending time with my family and my dog. I believe that finding the right home changes everything — and I'd love to help you find yours. Reach out today and let's get started!
