“We are fortunate to be located in one of the strongest housing markets in the U.S. and coming off one of the best years ever,” Kelly added. “With interest rates at historic lows and expected to remain there for the foreseeable future, we should be in the real estate sweet spot for some time to come. My goal will be providing borrowers with the best advice and mentoring I can offer and guiding them through the entire mortgage loan process.”
