“My #1 goal is to make sure every borrower KNOWS that I have their best interest in every loan. I am driven to prove this from start to finish throughout the loan process (and even after). With 15+ years of mortgage experience, I am able to educate each borrower on their specific situation, so they know exactly what to expect at each stage of the financing process. When you combine the service with the pricing we offer, it makes choosing us very simple.”

Chris lives in Fort Worth with his beautiful wife and 3 children!  When he isn’t working his tail off, he loves to play golf and enjoy time with the family.

To Chris, it is imperative that his service far exceeds our competitors and that our rates and costs are unmatched.

Hi, my name is Jenny, Senior Loan Officer with First Rate Financial. I currently serve in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. I bring more than 11 years of knowledge and background in the mortgage and insurance industry. I was born and raised in Texas. I attended The University of Texas at Austin where I received my degree in Kinesiology and Business Administration. My favorite thing about this industry is that no loan or customer is ever the same. I believe that working with all different types of borrowers and getting to know them through the process of buying/refinancing their home is a rewarding feeling as the process can be a stressful one, especially first time home buying! I enjoy taking as much stress out of the equation for the borrower and making it as painless and exciting as possible.

As a Loan Originator, my first thought is to create a comfortable, trusting relationship with my borrowers. I feel like setting that foundation is the key to a smooth and easy process. Always being accessible to answer questions or walk my borrowers through every step is also very important.

In my free time, I enjoy yoga, good red wine, movies, concerts and traveling! But most of all, I love my family.

I am looking forward to working with you and creating a fun experience!

Family is one of the most important things to me and I treat all my clients like family. Over the years I’ve worked with hundreds of clients, but the most important lesson I learned is that people don’t care how much you know, but want to know how much you care. I look forward to welcoming you to the First Rate family and helping you with the most important purchase you’ll ever make, your home!

Some facts about me:

-Grew up in Dallas, Tx.
-Studied Business Finance at Baylor University.
-Spent 7+ years in the banking industry before joining First Rate.
-Speaks Romanian and Spanish
-Lives in Frisco with his wife & 2 children.

Serving other people is a passion of mine, that’s why I chose the field of mortgage lending. Whether it is helping first time homebuyers realize their dream of homeownership or assisting with a refinancing on a dream home.  Helping people achieve their goals is why I come to work every day.

I also feel that a home loan should not be stressful or confusing. My job is to guide you through the process from start to finish. Combining a can-do attitude with a get it done mentality has always been my recipe for success. 

Integrity, professionalism, and an unequalled customer experience is my promise to all my clients.  Be it a borrower, real estate agent or title company; your loan will get the attention that is truly deserved.
