With over 30 years of mortgage banking experience, I help clients through the loan process with confidence, clarity, and just the right amount of flair (have you seen my LinkedIn letter boards?!). I combine extensive industry knowledge with a personal touch to deliver exceptional results—every time.

If you need a mortgage, I’m your gal!  I run the gamut when it comes to loan products and programs, working with a wide range of clients. It should be known that I have a soft spot for first time homebuyers!

I offer a full suite of mortgage services—residential purchases, refinances, investment properties, and commercial financing. I’m licensed in New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Virginia, Texas, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Florida, Rhode Island, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. Basically, I go where the loans take me!

I like to say I put the fun in funding! And have been told I strike the perfect balance of hustle, heart, and humor.

My goal? To make the loan process feel less like a chore and more like a celebration! Many of my clients become lifelong friends—and some even consider me part of the family. This is always the greatest compliment!

Denise was incredible. She guided me through everything as a first time homeowner. I would totally recommend her to anyone looking for a home.

My adventure with Total Mortgage was flawless. I started looking in one state then transferred to another state. They had easily moved my file internally from one contact to the other licensed to the state I wanted to buy a home in. Both locations were quick to respond to any questions I had making the process that much easier to complete. Should I ever find a need to obtain a mortgage again I will reach back out to Total Mortgage. Thank you!

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Denise and Total Mortgage. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, straightforward, and surprisingly easy. Denise was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process. She was always positive, responsive, engaged, and genuinely a pleasure to communicate with. She kept everything moving, answered my questions, and made sure I always understood where we were in the process. Instead of feeling stressful or overwhelming, she made the experience feel personal and manageable. After dealing with traditional banks and all of the red tape, delays, and frustration that can come along with them, working with Denise was a completely different experience. I can honestly say that she made the mortgage process enjoyable, which is something I never thought I would say! I would highly recommend Denise and Total Mortgage to anyone looking for a mortgage or refinance—especially if you are tired of dealing with the traditional banking system and want someone who is responsive, knowledgeable, positive, and truly engaged from beginning to end. Thank you, Denise, for making this such a great experience. You absolutely earned a five-star review and my highest recommendation!

I cannot say enough good things about ​Denise at Total Mortgage. A buyer on one of my listings was denied by their original lender at the last minute, right before we were scheduled to close, due to additional fees that had been added to the loan unexpectedly​ and not communicated properly. It was an incredibly stressful situation, but ​D​enise stepped in, took the time to understand the buyer’s situation, and worked quickly to reapply and get the loan back on track. ​D​enise's communication, responsiveness, and willingness to find a solution made all the difference. ​S​he worked diligently under a very tight timeline and helped turn what could have been a failed transaction into a successful closing. I truly appreciate ​her professionalism, dedication, and commitment to​ her clients. ​S​he is the kind of lender you want in your corner when things get complicated. I would highly recommend ​her to any buyer or real estate professional looking for a knowledgeable, responsive, and solution-oriented mortgage lender.
