A Different Kind of Mortgage Experience
Buying a home should feel exciting.
But for a lot of people, it feels overwhelming, confusing, and stressful.
That’s where I come in.
More Than a Lender — A Partner in Your Growth
Hey, I'm Merrily
I dive in head first—
in life, relationships, and people.
And I love seeing dreams come true… especially in homeownership.
You already have lenders.
What you may not have is someone who helps you close more deals and consistently grow your pipeline.
That's where I come in.
Why I Do This
When I was in fourth grade, our teacher let us move our desks to sit by our friends.
Everyone quickly grouped up…
Except one girl—Christine.
She was sitting alone.
So I moved my desk next to hers.
My teacher later wrote something on my report card that stayed with me:
“Merrily befriends the needy, the unloved… and makes sure others are taken care of.”
That moment shaped me.
And it’s exactly how I show up for you and your clients today—
making sure no one gets overlooked, and every deal gets the attention it deserves.
How That Shows Up for You (and Your Clients)
I look for:
a client who feels overwhelmed
a deal another lender already said “no”
a file that doesn't fit the perfect box
Those are the deals that usually fall apart.
Most lenders stop there. I don’t. I start digging.
I look at the full picture, find the path forward,
and help you keep the deal alive.
Not just a quick answer—
A real solution that gets you to the closing table—on time, without surprises.
Real Results. Real Closings
My Approach is Different
I don’t just plug numbers into a system and hope it works.
I look at the full picture—income, assets, goals, future plans—
and build a strategy that actually holds up all the way to closing.
Because here’s the truth…
Deals don’t fall apart at the beginning.
They fall apart at the finish line.
And when that happens, it doesn’t just affect the client—
it affects your reputation.
That’s why I do the work upfront.
So your deals close smoothly,
and you never have to worry about surprises at the end.
If you’re tired of deals falling apart at the last minute… we should talk.
A Little About My Background
I started in marketing—helping businesses, churches, and authors connect and grow.
So I’ve always understood something important:
It’s not just about the transaction. It’s about the experience.
When I moved into mortgages, I quickly saw something missing.
The process didn’t feel good for clients.
It felt confusing… stressful… and uncertain.
And when clients feel that way,
it doesn’t just affect them—it affects you, too.
So I made it my mission to change that.
To create a mortgage experience that feels clear, calm,
and supportive from start to finish.
Because when the process feels better for your client…
everything goes smoother for you.
Fewer surprises. Smoother closings. Happier clients.
Today, I serve as a Mortgage Advisor, Broker/Owner,
and Chief Experience Officer at Mpire Financial.
That’s the difference you’ll feel in every deal we work on together.
A Little More About Me (Because Who You Work With Matters)
I’ve called San Antonio home for over 40 years, and my greatest joy is my family. My alma mater is University of Oregon. I'm a huge Duck fan!
I’m a mom, stepmom, grandma (and bonus grandma!), and my house is usually full of laughter, chaos, and people I love.
If I’m not working, you’ll probably find me:
By the pool
Near the water (always)
Traveling somewhere new
(My favorite) surrounded by family
Women's ministry at CrossBridge Community Church
Playing the cello
IAnd all of that—family, connection, showing up for people—
that’s exactly how I show up in every deal we work on together.
Real Results. Real Closings
