A little more about me - I am a wife and mother of two young boys. I have been an athlete my whole life and have competed in a handful of triathlons as an adult. I am competitive in nature which has helped me succeed in real estate.
I enjoy golfing, football and time with my family. I was born in Indiana so naturally I am a huge Notre Dame football fan! I lived there, Illinois and Florida all before I was 5 years old when I landed in Minnesota. I grew up in Burnsville and then attended college at St. Cloud State.
My family and I spend time raising awareness and volunteering at events for the Ronald McDonald House Charities here in Minnesota. I have been involved with the Red Shoe Society since the premature birth of my first son who was born while on vacation in Florida. He decided to come seven weeks early and join us in the warmer weather!
Professionally, I spent 10 years in the corporate marketing world at some of Minnesota's largest companies – Lifetime Fitness, C.H. Robinson, Supervalu and the former Carlson Rezidor Hotel Group. I love marketing which is why I love selling homes but I also love to help people. Real estate gives me the best of both worlds; I get to combine my passion for marketing with my passion for helping people. I have always been extremely driven and a bit of a workaholic so when I decided to leave the corporate world and start working for myself it was a natural fit. I really pride myself in getting to know other companies and people I can refer clients to.
That’s probably much more than you wanted to know about me but I hope this helps give you an idea of who I am. Thank you for checking out this section of my website. I hope to connect with you soon to see how I might be able to help you!
A pre-approval is not the same as pre-qualification. These two terms refer to separate processes when applying for a home mortgage loan. A pre-qualification is a rough estimate of what you might be able to borrow for your mortgage. Pre-qualification is based on your “best guess” of information, which hasn’t been verified by the lender.
On the other hand, a mortgage pre-approval is the most comprehensive step a buyer can take toward attaining a home mortgage. Once the lender verifies the information, they will offer a pre-approval letter to the buyer, stating that the buyer is “pre-approved” for a mortgage loan of a certain amount, with specific terms. It's best to go this route so there aren't any surprises with your credit and so we can stay within your desired monthly budget when searching for a home.
