Financing Higher-Value Homes
Walnut Creek and surrounding Contra Costa County communities include many higher-value properties where financing can require a different approach than a standard conforming mortgage.
Mary has experience with jumbo conventional financing and working with borrowers whose income, assets, property type or overall financial profile may require additional analysis.
For buyers moving from one property to another, Mary can also help evaluate available financing strategies and, when appropriate and available, discuss bridge or buy-before-you-sell options.
More Than a Loan Program
Successful mortgage financing involves much more than choosing an interest rate.
Purchase price, down payment, available assets, income structure, existing real estate, property type, appraisal requirements and timing can all affect the best path forward.
With more than four decades in mortgage lending, Mary understands how those pieces fit together and works closely with borrowers and their real estate professionals throughout the process.

Mary also helps clients throughout Walnut Creek with conventional financing, jumbo mortgages, refinances, investment-property financing and other residential mortgage needs.
Local Experience. Personal Guidance.
Mortgage lending has changed considerably since Mary entered the industry in 1981. What has not changed is the importance of having an experienced person available when questions or challenges arise.
Mary’s approach is built around communication, education and finding a financing path that makes sense for the individual borrower.
