Renee's Bio
Loan Officer
NMLS #230766
I am a proud Navy vet who spent four years on active duty. After my years in the military, I spent a few months in California as a stay-at-home mom. But I am not one to do so well without being active, so I went on the hunt for my next venture. While in the Navy, I got my real estate license alongside my husband. After separation from active service, I decided to further venture into the world of finance. I’ve since worked as a closer, processor, and underwriter which led to my becoming a Loan Officer.
Within my current role as a Loan Officer at Big Valley Mortgage (BVM), I still leverage the skills and knowledge obtained in my former positions. I’m here to help find the right loan product for you, whether it be a VA loan, first-time buyer option, FHA, special loan programs, or really anything available in the lending market. If you’ve got a lending need, I’ve got you covered.
When not working as a Loan Officer, I enjoy getting out to a baseball game, golfing, spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and soaking up all the enjoyable moments in life that I can. I also have a border collie named LuSeal after the San Francisco Giants mascot.
So, whether you are a Realtor seeking a dependable referral partner or somebody looking for a trusted Loan Officer to help you on your homeownership journey don’t hesitate to contact me.
