I grew up in Blacksburg and have made Salem my home. Staying so close to my roots means that helping people purchase homes in the Roanoke and New River Valleys feels like helping my own neighbors.

I've been in the mortgage industry since 1998 and love what I do. Helping clients with their mortgage needs is my passion. My expertise includes Conventional, FHA, VA, VHDA and USDA mortgages.

Freedom First offers a wide array of mortgage products and has local processing and underwriting. I serve the Roanoke Valley.


"As a first time home buyer, it can be overwhelming. Vanessa catered to our every need and clearly had our best interest in mind the entire way. She worked closely with us to make sure that all items were checked off and she was extra patient in explaining each step. We will certainly continue to refer Vanessa & FFCU."- Wyatt
