REALTOR® and Mortgage Loan Originator
The Agent

Meet Chelsea
Two Licenses, One Person
Most buyers run two separate relationships, an agent on one side and a lender on the other, and spend the whole escrow translating between them. Chelsea holds both licenses.
Real Estate
California DRE #02089137, licensed since 2019, working buyers and sellers across Visalia and Tulare County out of the Main Street office.
Home Financing
Licensed by the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and authorized to represent NEXA Mortgage, LLC, NMLS #1660690, a broker with access to many lenders rather than one bank’s shelf.
Using Chelsea for both sides is always optional. Where she would act as agent and loan originator in the same transaction, that dual role is disclosed in writing and you remain free to choose any other agent or lender.
Working Together
No call center and no handoffs between an agent and a stranger at a bank. The person who shows you the house can pull your pre-approval, explain the payment and sit with you at signing. For what is available right now in Visalia or Tulare County, call or send a note.
How I Help
Three places to start. The house and the loan are handled by one person, in one conversation.
