About Heidi

A local lender who actually listens

I've spent years helping people in central Maine navigate the mortgage process — from first-time buyers who aren't sure where to start, to seasoned homeowners looking to refinance into a better rate.

My approach is simple: I explain things clearly, I answer your questions before you finish asking them, and I treat your goals like my own. You deserve a lending experience that feels straightforward, not salesy.

Mortgage solutions that fit your life

No cookie-cutter packages. I tailor every loan to your situation, timeline, and financial goals.

First-Time Homebuyers

From pre-approval to closing day, I'll help you understand every step and find a loan program that matches your budget.

Refinancing

Lower your rate, shorten your term, or cash out equity — I'll run the numbers so you know exactly what's worth it.

Investment Properties

Whether it's a rental or a fixer-upper, I'll help you structure a loan that supports your investment strategy.

FHA & Conventional Loans

FHA, conventional, jumbo — I'll explain the differences and help you pick the program that fits your financial picture.

VA & USDA Loans

If you're eligible, VA and USDA loans can offer incredible benefits — including zero down payment. Let's see if you qualify.

Rate & Term Analysis

Not sure if now is the right time to refinance? I'll crunch the numbers and give you an honest, straightforward answer.

The Process

From conversation to closing — made simple

I keep things straightforward so you always know where you stand.
