    With nearly 23 years in the mortgage industry, I love helping homebuyers and homeowners in Massachusetts navigate the loan process with confidence. Based in the Boston suburbs, I work with clients across the Greater Boston area. I specialize in jumbo loans, first-time homebuyer programs, and Affinity Mortgage Lending.
