Forward Mortgage is an independent mortgage broker proudly serving Michigan, focused on expert guidance, personal service, and a smooth, stress-free lending experience. Our goal is to help clients feel informed, supported, and confident from application through closing with timelines that help them compete in today’s market.

With over 35 years of experience in banking and lending, I bring a relationship-first approach to every client I serve. I believe mortgage lending should be clear, transparent, and tailored to each individual, never rushed or transactional. I take the time to understand my clients’ goals, explain their options, and guide them through every step with honesty and care.

Buying a home doesn’t always happen during business hours, and questions don’t either. That’s why I’m accessible beyond traditional hours, providing peace of mind when decisions matter most.

I understand how overwhelming the mortgage process can feel. I create space for conversations around financial concerns, remove uncertainty through education, and focus on minimizing stress. My commitment is to help clients position themselves to make their strongest possible offer on a home they love.

From preparation to closing, I walk alongside my clients every step of the way; offering clarity, encouragement, and support. This isn’t just about closing loans; it’s about building trust, confidence, and lasting relationships.
