How Dawn works

Dawn works with buyers who want the numbers explained before they commit to anything. Most of her clients come from past clients and the agents who have worked with her, which is the referral pattern that tends to follow someone who returns calls.

Her background is in credit analysis and mortgage underwriting, so she reads a file the way an underwriter will before it gets there. She handles purchase and refinance financing across conventional, FHA, and VA, with particular depth in VA loans and home equity, and she is licensed in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

What to expect

A short form, then a call. Tell Dawn what you are trying to do. No Social Security number and no pay stubs at this stage. Dawn calls back, usually the same business day.
A real number. Dawn runs your income, credit, and assets against the programs you actually qualify for, and tells you what your file supports and what it does not.
A letter agents take seriously. When you are ready to make an offer, the pre-approval letter is built on verified numbers, not a guess.
One person, start to finish. Dawn stays on your file through underwriting, conditions, and closing. Same direct line the whole way.

Programs Dawn works with

Full list: all loan programs. PHFA first-time buyer programs are also available through Dawn.
