Lisa Cortez
NMLS 194506
Loan Officer
Lisa has devoted her career to enriching – and saving – the lives of others. She taught elementary school students with the Charleston County School District and then earned a degree in nursing. "My passion has always been to make a positive difference," she says. "Working in education, healthcare, and now, housing is my way of giving back to the community I love so much."
Clear guidance, open communication, and instant accessibility form the foundation of Lisa’s exceptional service. Educating clients about their options and the financing process is a top priority for Lisa. She takes the time to walk customers through each step and breaks down all the upfront and future costs of their mortgage program. Backed by her personal attention and prompt updates, Lisa’s clients have everything they need to make confident, well-informed mortgage decisions.
Lisa holds a BA in Education from her hometown college, Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She also graduated from Mercy School of Nursing in Charlotte, North Carolina. When she’s not helping people achieve their homeownership dreams, Lisa spends as much time as possible with her husband and their two sons. She also enjoys hiking with the family and their two poodles, traveling, curling up with a good book, and gardening.
