“When you work with someone like Rhonda, her high volume of production causes you to experience the entire mortgage process, learn almost every type of mortgage product, as well as how to provide clients with a 5-Star experience. Michaela has the knowledge and confidence to create outstanding mortgage solutions for her clients and professional network,” Rhonda Mulligan shared. “She’s organized, she has great integrity, and she is an outstanding problem solver: she is made for this business.” Michaela lives with her husband Nick, her two sons Nick and Ben, and their cat Oreo.
