Let me help you get pre-approved today!

I have worked in the real estate and housing business since 1985. My goal has always been to put the buyers that I work with into the right home that makes their individual ownership dream a reality. My partnership with Ruoff Mortgage has allowed me to keep doing just that.

There are many mortgage options available to buyers, or current homeowners, and the process can be very confusing without proper guidance. Available programs are changing all the time and you need someone who can narrow it down to what works for you and your circumstances. I will help make the process quick and uncomplicated for you and get you the mortgage product that is the best fit for your situation!

I realize that business hours are not real life hours! I am available to you at any time--your schedule is my schedule. You can reach me after hours and weekends by contacting me on my cell phone or by email. You can also contact me through the website and apply online at any time. You can be assured your information is secure and will come directly to me.

  • This was the second time I had used Cathe to buy a house & she was just as great as the first time. Whenever I had a question she would get me an answer right away. She always made the process so simple & easy. From the time we let her know our offer was accepted by the sellers she had all our paperwork done & ready to close 2 weeks later - the sellers of the house even mentioned how on top of everything Cathe was & how quick she got everything done at closing. I will always recommend Ruoff & Cathe to anyone who is looking for a lender!
