About Lelani

I was born in the Philippines and raised in Norfolk, Virginia. As a first generation Filipino-American my parents modeled the value of a work ethic to obtain the American dream. With this value, I excelled in school and graduated from Old Dominion University. Afterwards, I became a proud wife of a Navy sailor. Our family has settled back in the Peninsula Hampton Roads area after two cross country tours. My background is in the Mortgage Lending industry as a Senior Underwriter. This gives me a unique understanding (and empathy!) towards the loan process. As a military spouse, I've always been intentional in getting involved in various organizations in the communities we live in, including the Commands my husband is attached to. I am committed and diligent in working for you. Exceptional customer service with integrity is what I strive for. Whether buying or selling, let's do this together! How can I serve you?
