Every client I meet has a story to tell, and it's my job to understand and honor the unique details of your story. I enjoy working with and learning from a diverse clientele in terms of language, culture, and socioeconomic means. I've been a loan officer since 2001 and joined the family at Bell Bank Mortgage in 2010, coming from the Uptown mortgage office I'd opened called Puertas Abiertas/Open Doors.
You'll find I am detailed and professional in my work, with a values-driven and service-oriented approach. I'll take the time to listen to you and to explain the process and programs. We'll find the loan best tailored to you--whether you are a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned homeowner.
I'm committed to excellence throughout the process--from providing a thorough pre-approval with competitive rates and programs, to answering your questions, and, most important, to closing your loan on time.
Knowledgeable and caring, I've built a reputation as someone who works hard and gets the job done. I am also fluent in Spanish and have worked in the Latino community for over 22 years.
Contact me and let my experience work for you!

Nancy Hostetler with Bell Bank was very easy to work with, and she was on top of things. I've already recommended her to a friend looking to purchase a house.
Joseph I.Very helpful – they know the high expectations of their customers, and the service I received was beyond my high expectations. I really refer the people I care about to them.
Muuse C.Nancy and Lisa were amazing for us as first-time buyers. They patiently answered any and all questions and went above and beyond in being responsive and detail-oriented. This is the team you want to help save you money and to be available after hours for a competitive scenario!
Will C.Absolutely loved working with Nancy, Lisa, and Ashley. They were super thorough and answered all my questions. The process was smooth and I felt like they literally held my hand through every step. As a first time home buyer, I would 100% recommend them. Especially if you're looking for a team who will help guide you through and explain the numbers thoroughly. Awesome bunch!!!!!
