Commitment to Excellence

Christa has lived in the low country since 2009 and she is very passionate about serving the needs of others. From Building homes in Mexico, serving inside foodbanks across the nation, homeless outreach programs in New York City, to setting up medical units in partnership with Doctors Without Borders in Sierra Leone, Africa, Christa never passes up an opportunity to give her time to others and share the love of Christ with those she has an opportunity to impact.

Since living in Charleston, SC, she has served on the board for the Avondale race, supporting the Charles Webb Center a local developmental day care facility serving children with disabilities from age 6 weeks to 10 years old. Without the funds raised from the race, the center would have not been able to keep their doors open.

As a top Loan Officer Christa is able to put her commitment to others to use by helping families get into homes with that same passion and love. Consistently recognized as a Circle of Excellence producer, she has a particular passion for first time home buyers and puts her whole heart into each and every opportunity to assist a client to realize their dream of home ownership. She is proud to represent Clear Mortgage and bring value, transparency, and clarity to the most important piece of the mortgage puzzle…. You.

Let's journey together

Our Digital Loan Process

We take a hands on approach when it comes to financing your home. Your loan team will be with you every step of the way from start to finish advising you on all of your options, and answering all of your questions. 

Pre-Approval

The first step in the home buying process is to secure a solid pre-approval letter. This includes pulling credit, verifying income, and making sure you're comfortable with a mortgage payment.

House Hunt & Offers

Once you're pre-approved, it's time to start working with your realtor to find a property! We will be on standby during this process to run payment numbers and update pre-approval letters if needed.

Inspection & Appraisal

Congrats! Your offer has been accepted by the seller. Now it's time to start the inspection and appraisal process. We will have an appraiser go out to the home to make sure what you're buying is worth what you're paying.

Final Mortgage Approval

Once we go through all of our due-diligence, our underwriting team will issue a final loan approval. That means it's time to get ready for closing!

Close On Your New Home!

Woohoo! You officially are a home-owner. Time to create lifelong memories and start building equity. We will do a mortgage check up every 6 months to ensure your loan terms are still best for you.
