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!

It’s rare that I come away genuinely impressed with the level of service I receive, but working with Denise and Total Mortgage was one of those exceptional experiences. I was truly surprised by their dedication, responsiveness, and unwavering commitment throughout the entire process. Denise was always available when I needed her—consistently the last to respond because she was waiting on me, never the other way around. That level of attentiveness and accountability is hard to find. On top of that, the ease of using their website and mobile app made the entire experience feel almost too simple—like it shouldn’t be this easy to navigate such an important process. Overall, an outstanding team that goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a smooth, efficient, and truly supportive mortgage experience.

Denise was absolutely fabulous!! She is professional and truly cares about her clients. It is not about the sale for her. It’s about helping her client achieve a milestone or dream of homeownership. She was immediate in her responsiveness and a true expert to guide you through this process!! I have been. In the mortgage industry for 30+ years and found the process with Denise one of the smoothest I have experienced. If you need someone on your side. Please choose Denise. She will get you onto your home and help you make that dream a reality ❤️

Denise is absolutely amazing at what she does. She always picked up her phone, answered all of my questions, and had us cleared to close in just 10 business days. I highly recommend Denise to anyone looking to purchase or refinance their home!

We needed to refinance our home on Anna Maria Island and we desperately needed a mortgage broker. Someone referred us to Denise Panza of Total Mortgage which worked out perfectly. The process began on April 21, 2026. Denise has a great easy-to-use portal where we could upload all of the necessary documents. By April 23, she had provided us with an amount that we could borrow, based on our needs, and a very accurate interest rate. There were a few bumps in the road which were all created by us. Denise tackled them head on, seemingly working 24/7, and got them quickly resolved. She was determined to get this refinancing done quickly, efficiently and created little stress on our part. We were waiting for the appraisal in order to tweak the exact amount we could borrow. When the appraisal came in, we were able to adjust the amount borrowed to satisfy our final needs. Denise seemed to have a great relationship with the underwriter, title company and appraiser. We closed on May 15, 2026 and were funded on May 20, 2026. Needless to say, we would highly recommend Denise Panza to secure a mortgage. Uh in
