Jan Leasure, CDLP®

Mortgage Lender, Certified Divorce Lending Professional, Division President, Diamond Residential Mortgage Corp.

One of the first questions people getting divorced often have is, “Can I afford to stay in my home?” What I tell them is that one of your first phone calls when considering divorce or going through one should be to a mortgage lender. Why? Because a mortgage lender will review all of your financials and then tell you how much of a mortgage you can afford. So, in essence, a mortgage lender can answer that question.

A mortgage lender who is also a CDLP (Certified Divorce Lending Professional) is wonderful, because the person has been trained and certified to work in conjunction with your real estate agent (if you are buying a new home), your divorce mediator, financial advisor, and/or your divorce attorney to come up with options for you in regards to keeping your home, possibly buying a new home, or maybe even renting for a little while. It all depends on how the numbers shake out, and the wishes of you and your ex.

I am so proud to be partnering with mortgage lender and CDLP, Jan Leasure! Jan, who has been in the mortgage industry since 1996, is a division president for Diamond Residential Mortgage Corporation. Jan has a soft spot for first-time buyers, and that might mean you as a divorced person, buying a home and getting your first mortgage alone. She is a problem solver, who is committed to helping people through what might be a stressful time, and turning the experience into a positive and happy one!
