Residential Pacific Mortgage (RPM)

I've been in the Real Estate industry my whole life. Seriously. My Mom's been a top producing Realtor in the East Bay my entire life. I grew up looking at other people's houses. After working in a local real estate office for more than 6 years in administrative positions I decided I might as well get my real estate license. In 2000 I officially became a Realtor. I filled the next seven years working as my Mom's Buyer's Agent. Though I know how to be an excellent Realtor, I found that it really wasn't my passion. I get a true sense of fulfillment from helping people get their financial lives in order. So I made the change to the financial side of real estate: the mortgage industry.

What timing! Just in time for the credit crunch and the end of the "easy days". I greet the challenge of a changing industry as an opportunity to develop my business as one based on a deep concrete knowledge and understanding of the industry and how to best serve my clients.

I believe my job as a loan officer and mortgage banker is to educate & gently guide my clients so that they are armed with the information they need to make the decision that is best for their individual situation.
