En mi trabajo con FNBA, combino mi educación, mis experiencias de vida, habilidades lingüísticas y conocimientos de préstamos hipotecarios para brindar claridad y agregar simplicidad al proceso de obtener un préstamo hipotecario. Como extranjera, sé escuchar las inquietudes y dudas de nuestros clientes, brindar soluciones y ayudarles a conseguir la llave de su nuevo hogar. Trabajemos juntos.

At FNBA, I am able to use my multi-cultural experience and language skills to help make the mortgage process as clear and simple as possible for my clients. With half of my family being from Mexico, I have had unique experiences that allow me to understand the many challenges involved in establishing life in a new country and the anxiety of communicating in a second language. These life experiences make it so I am able to specialize in helping ITIN and self-employed borrowers obtain the financing they need to purchase a home. I am fluent in both English and Spanish, ready to provide the best mortgage experience possible! Whether it be your first home purchase or a process you are already familiar with, I look forward to helping you accomplish your homeownership goals!
