About Stacey
Stacey has been writing mortgages since 2013 and has been in financial services since 2000. Before mortgages she was a financial advisor with Prudential Financial and manager of financial services for Western and Southern.
She is licensed in Indiana and Florida. Her primary focus is Porter, Lake and LaPorte counties in Indiana, and southwest Florida including Lee, Hillsborough and Collier counties.
The loans she gravitates toward are VA, conventional, the physician loan program, and first-time buyers. Her real specialty is the one-off file, the borrower who needs a bank statement program or something outside the standard box, where the work is researching the available programs until she finds the one that actually fits.
The question she hears most is why she asks for so many documents before issuing a pre-approval. Her answer is that a pre-approval based on verified documents is worth something and one based on what a borrower typed into an application is not. It makes the offer stronger and it keeps surprises out of underwriting.
Stacey is from Valparaiso, Indiana and also lives in Fort Myers, Florida. She boats, spends time at the beach, travels, and is usually with her grandkids, family and friends. She is at the closing table for her borrowers, and she treats communication and accessibility as part of the job rather than a courtesy.
