Welcome to my website! I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to work with you and share my extensive knowledge of mortgage lending. Whether you’re in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, or Florida, I’m your go-to mortgage professional.

As I celebrate my 30th year of originating mortgage loans in March 2025, I’m proud to reflect on nearly 16 years with Ruoff Mortgage in Warsaw, Indiana. As a top mortgage lender, I’ve had the honor of being a member of Ruoff’s Elite President Club and Branch Originator of the Year for many years, and I’ve also been recognized as a Scotsman Guide Top Originator in the U.S. My assistant, Heather Coy, and I are here to help guide you through the mortgage process with ease.

With a diverse background as a mortgage owner/broker, loan officer, and hands-on experience in processing and closing mortgage loans, I bring a wealth of knowledge to ensure you get the best loan for your needs. I specialize in Conventional Loans, FHA Loans, VA Loans, USDA Loans, Grant Programs, Down Payment Assistance, Rehab Loans, and Construction Loans. We offer some of the best mortgage rates in the industry, with an easy online mortgage application process that makes securing your home loan a breeze.

Outside of the mortgage world, I’m a proud mother of two children and two bonus children by marriage. My most cherished title is “Grandma” (or “Granny”) to my wonderful grandchildren. I also love staying active—whether it’s boating, fishing, swimming, sailing, golf, or traveling. Community events and concerts are some of my favorite ways to stay connected. On the home front, I enjoy cooking, gardening, and tackling home improvement projects with my husband.

    I'm a new homeowner and was not familiar with the process. Lori and Heather talked me through everything and explained it all perfectly! I would highly recommend! Lori got me a new personalized cutting board at closing and I thought that was very sweet 😊

    Lori made the process so easy as a first time homeowner. I really liked using loanbutler to upload and sign everything. It made the process efficient. Closing was a breeze because we were able to review/sign a few of the documents beforehand. Lori kept us in the loop during the process and responded in a timely manner if we had any questions/concerns.
