What sparks your passion for real estate or mortgage lending?
I've been in mortgage lending for 20 years and I've always had a passion for helping first time homebuyers. I remember the feeling of becoming a first-time homeowner and I love to be able to be a part of other's homeownership journeys and especially to see the smiles on their faces at the closing when they are handed the keys to their first home.
What sets your services apart from others?
Mascoma Bank is a local bank with 28 branches in NH and VT. We are a certified B corporation which shows that we are committed to being a force for positive change in the communities that we live and work in. We strive to do everything that we can to improve our communities and the lives of our customers.
What's the #1 tip you give to first-time homebuyers?
The #1 tip that I would give to first-time homebuyers is to ask any question that you have during the homebuying process, don't hold them in. Your Loan Officer and Realtor are there to help you and want to make sure that you have all of the information that you need to make it a smooth and stress free process.
What would you want me to know about yourself?
I live in Cornish, NH with my husband and daughter. In my free time I love to hike, bake, craft and volunteer for varies organizations in my community.
What's your favorite hidden gem in New Hampshire?
My favorite hidden gem in New Hampshire is the hiking trail along Gunnison Lake in Goshen, NH. The locals call Gunnison Lake the Goshen Ocean. It is a great place to go to clear your mind and spend some time in nature.
