Kristen Vicari, Loan Officer

Local, responsive, and on your side.

Kristen is a Michigan-based loan officer with Align Lending, licensed under NMLS 2236296. She works with first-time buyers, veterans, investors, and families buying up north on the lakes and rivers, and she is known among local agents for picking up the phone.

Because Align Lending is a broker rather than a bank, Kristen can compare wholesale rates from many lenders instead of offering one rate sheet. She can walk you through the rate, fees, and closing costs together so you can compare the full picture.
