I will work hard to help you achieve your homeownership goals.
Hello there! I’m Christi Nichols, your dedicated guide to the hassle-free home financing experience you have been looking for. With a rich background in media and a passion for making dreams of homeownership come true, I bring a distinctive blend of expertise and personal touch to mortgage lending.
Whether you're a first-time homebuyer embarking on this exciting journey or a seasoned homeowner seeking a new space, I specialize in tailoring solutions to fit your unique needs. From conventional mortgages to FHA, VA, and USDA options, I will guide you through a spectrum of choices, such as down payment assistance, community grants, and specialized programs like the Ohio Heroes initiative. I'm here to make it happen for you. Together, we'll navigate your budget and comfort levels, ensuring a seamless and empowering experience.
Before I stepped into the world of mortgage lending, I spent an incredible 27 years as the voice behind your local morning radio shows. Having seen over 700 concerts, being the first voice of Siri in its planning stages, soothing guests with my on-hold voice at Hilton Hotels, and even lending my voice to vehicle notifications, my journey has been quite diverse. Why Mortgages, you ask? Having encountered my share of rough financing experiences while buying and selling homes, I made a conscious decision to become a Loan Officer. My goal is clear. I help my borrowers not only understand the lending process but also embrace it. I act as their advocate, ensuring confidence every step of the way.
As a single mom to a vivacious daughter, family is at the heart of everything I do. Beyond mortgages, my passions extend to the great outdoors, daily walks, hiking, kayaking, rock climbing, cooking, tending to my garden, and reading in the shade or a simple craft project in my free time. I'm not just a mortgage professional, I'm someone who values the security and safety of a home.
I have also hosted foreign exchange students, which has been a transformative experience for me, adding layers of cultural richness to my life. Having a place to call my own has given me the profound joy of rescuing plants, animals, and anyone else who needs a loving home. My personal experiences drive my commitment to helping borrowers achieve their homeownership goals. Join me in this journey, where securing your dream home isn't just a transaction — it's a personalized experience guided by expertise, empathy, and a genuine love for the place we call home.

The lenders at Rouf Mortgage were phenomenal. They kept us informed and worked with us every step of the way through the process. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of ppl to work with. Thank you, Rouf😀

Christi was absolutely wonderful! She was knowledgeable, patient and understanding. We had never gone through this process before and had tons of questions. I always felt like Christi had time for me and was happy to explain things further. She made this, at times, stressful experience go smoothly. She is fantastic!

Christi never hesitated to help, knew all the answers to all my questions, resolved “issues” that came up immediately. She is also super reassuring and kind. The best part was that she walked me through every little step there was never a moment where I was lost. Absolutely amazing communication!!

We would not have made it through this process without Chrisit’s guidance. She was always a phone call/ text away and answered any questions we had.
