About Laura

I’ve been helping clients with their home financing for 20 years. Passionate about the mortgage industry, my goal is to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the homebuying process. I’ll take the time to walk you through each step of the mortgage process, answer your questions and concerns, and keep you up to date on your loan’s status. From start to finish, I want to make sure you feel confident your mortgage is moving smoothly to closing.

When it comes to finding the right home financing for you, I start by listening. We’ll discuss your goals and priorities to find the product that fits your needs. I offer a wide range of loans, from conventional and jumbo to FHA and VA. Together, we’ll develop a mortgage plan just for you.

Whether you’re ready to get started with mortgage options or just need advice, call me today! I look forward to providing you with service that’s second to none.

Before the mortgage industry, I earned a Bachelor of Science in HR Management and Marketing from the University of South Carolina. I live with my husband and four children in Summerville, South Carolina, where I’ve resided since 2006. I’m a member of the Summerville Chamber of Commerce, Greater Business Networking Group, and attend Northwoods Community Church.

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.
