About Brenda

Having real estate experience in addition to loan originator expertise makes me a double threat! I started as a real estate agent in 2004, helping clients with existing homes and new construction, before moving to lending in 2013. This combined background gives me additional insight into your transaction.

I want to understand your goals and priorities so I can offer you the right home loan. You may be a first-time homebuyer, long-time homeowner, or property investor. I offer a wide range of loan programs so I can give you more options to choose from.

I promise you will receive outstanding service. You’ll know what’s happening with your mortgage as it progresses, and I’ll be available to answer your questions. I’ll be with you every step of the way, from application to closing and beyond.

Minnesota is my home. I grew up in West Bloomington and now live in Zimmerman, north of the Twin Cities. My greatest joy is spending time with my husband, our 4 children, and our grandchild. VA loans are very special to me because 3 our children (and 2 sons-in-law) are in the military!

A homeowner with a child on his lap calculating whether to buy a new home or refinance his home loan

Owning a home is fun and fulfilling!

What’s not to love about having a space that is entirely yours? You can paint your bathroom fuchsia, have hardwood in the master, put up a wild Mosaic in the kitchen, install a smart thermostat, you name it. After all, it’s your home!

Equally enjoyable are the other personal and financial advantages of being a homeowner: security and stability, equity and wealth building, and more! I’m here to help you get the most from your home financing — whether you’re buying your first home, moving up or downsizing to match your lifestyle, or refinancing your current mortgage.

Helping your home financing process go smoothly.
