As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional, my practice is Divorce Mortgage Planning. This is not a loan product or a mortgage application. It is the analysis that sits underneath the property and debt decisions in a divorce: what the equity solutions actually are for each party, whether the proposed settlement will support financing once the decree is entered, how support, timing, and title language affect qualification, and where the settlement, the mortgage, and the real property contradict one another. I bring that analysis to the divorce team while the terms are still open, because after the agreement is signed, the language is what everyone has to live with, and financing has to conform to it rather than the other way around.

I am the President of the Divorce Lending Association and a dedicated Divorce Mortgage Planner, passionate about empowering divorcing homeowners and the professionals who support them. With over 35 years of experience in mortgage and finance, I’ve made it my mission to transform the divorce mortgage planning industry.

As the creator of the Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) and Real Estate Mediation Specialist (REM-S) certification programs, I provide mortgage and real estate professionals with the education, tools, and resources they need to navigate the intricate intersection of divorce, real estate, and mortgage financing.

What I Do:

  • Develop tailored strategies to align divorce settlement goals with real estate and mortgage solutions.

  • Foster collaboration among attorneys, mediators, financial advisors, and real estate agents to ensure client success.

I’m also the author of A House Divided | The Intersection of Divorce, Real Estate & Mortgage Financing, where I share actionable insights to help both homeowners and professionals thrive. My work is driven by the belief that divorcing clients deserve more than the status quo, and I challenge industry professionals to elevate their approach.
