Alisha DiMaggio - Mortgage Advisor

Every week, I meet with people who almost don’t book the call because they’re convinced their credit score already ruled them out.

Meanwhile, we’re often looking at a much bigger picture:

• payment history
• debt-to-income
• cash to close
• overall credit profile
• loan options that fit their situation

I’ve seen bad assumptions delay homeownership more than bad credit.

DM me CREDIT if you want an honest look at where you stand. 🏡

Stop group-chatting houses and start sending them to the person who can run the numbers.

I fully support the group chat enthusiasm. The “wait this kitchen,” the screenshots, the unsolicited opinions from friends who bought once in 2019—all part of the process. But before six people get attached to a house, it helps to know what the monthly payment would actually look like.

Because excitement is fun. Surprises in underwriting are not.

DM me NUMBERS if you want to know what homes make sense before the chat names them “the one.” 🏡

I hear this all the time, and it usually sounds different every time.

“I want to save more first.”
“Maybe after summer.”
“I should probably wait until rates change.”
“Let’s revisit it next year.”

Sometimes those are real reasons. Sometimes they’re just placeholders for I have no idea what buying would actually look like for me.

Ready is rarely a feeling. It’s usually clarity: what payment fits, what cash you’d need, what timeline makes sense, and what would still let you live your life comfortably.

Once people have that, the “not ready yet” line tends to disappear quickly.

DM me READY if you want to know what ready actually looks like in your situation. 🏡

Things I’ll never apologize for as your mortgage advisor…

…asking for one more document when I know it helps keep things moving.
…ruining the vibe with accurate math before you emotionally move into the house.
…saying “please don’t buy a car right now” like it’s part of my personality.
…caring less about the max approval number and more about whether you’ll still like the payment in November.
…replying “let’s run numbers” to every Zillow link you send me.

I’m not trying to be difficult. I’m trying to make closing day feel easy.

DM me READY if you want someone who protects the fun part too. 🏡

When people tell me I take the stress out of the mortgage process, it means everything… because I know how stressful it can be behind the scenes too.

But the truth is, I can only do that because of the team I have around me.

Back with New American Funding and this is exactly why. No special favors. No chasing people down. No rushing files last minute.

Just a processor who got the final item in, an underwriter who reviewed it, and a full clear to close… all in the same day. On a Friday. A week early.

This is what a professional, well-run mortgage team looks like.

And it makes all the difference for our clients.
