*You may benefit from the experience of a Wealth Management Lending Officer from Bank of America, N.A. who can provide strategic and personalized home financing guidance focused on your needs. Working together, your financial advisor team and Lending Officer can draw upon an expansive array of home financing solutions designed to fit into your overall financial approach and help you pursue your financial objectives. The Wealth Management Lending Officer does not offer investment advice, nor make recommendation on investment products.
My mission, first and foremost, is to understand you and what matters most to you. Armed with that information I can ask thoughtful questions -- listening carefully, then understanding in detail where your wealth stands today and where you'd like it to be tomorrow. I help you design and implement a personalized plan intended to help you and your family pursue financial goals while helping manage investment risk. My approach is to focus on potential solutions that can help turn goals into reality.
