Expert guidance. Personal approach. Real results.
I’m Mia Schultz, The Mortgage Therapist. I help buyers understand their options, choose the right mortgage strategy, and move forward with confidence — whether the loan is simple, jumbo, self-employed, or anything in between.

Your next step, made clear
Choose the situation that feels closest to yours. We’ll start there.
A clear way forward
Build a confident budget, prepare your offer, and move from preapproval to closing with a strategy grounded in the actual guidelines.
Why we're different
Big online mortgage companies promise instant "push-button" approvals with zero human interaction. That sounds convenient—until your scenario hits an automated wall, an underwriting snag, or a guideline that doesn't fit neatly into a checkbox. Then you're stranded.
I do the opposite. I sit beside you, translating underwriting fine print into a clear strategy and structuring the deal intentionally from day one so you qualify and close without surprises.
Explore Your Next StepI know how lenders think so you don't have to stress about it—I translate the underwriting fine print into a clear plan and advocate for your file at every turn.
I review your real income, assets, credit, and goals upfront—then build the loan structure around what actually works, not what an algorithm guesses.
Can't qualify today? You won't get a cold automated rejection. I'll give you a specific, realistic step-by-step plan to get mortgage-ready, and I'll stay in touch with you until you're ready to buy.
As an independent broker, I shop across 100+ wholesale lenders to fit the loan to you—never the other way around.
Access to hundreds of programs and wholesale pricing without being locked into a single retail bank's menu.
Tailored options for W-2 buyers, self-employed bank-statement loans, jumbo, and complex scenarios alike.
I compare terms, solve guideline hurdles, and keep you informed from initial strategy straight to closing.
