Leslie Penate

“Responsive Guidance. Thorough Service. Ready to Close.”

Leslie Penate has worked in the mortgage industry since 2005 and became a licensed Mortgage Loan Originator in 2012. With years of experience on both the industry and origination sides of lending, she brings a steady, knowledgeable approach to helping clients move from application to closing.

Based in Northwest Indiana, Leslie is especially strong with first-time homebuyers and step-up buyers. Her clients consistently appreciate her responsiveness, thoroughness, and ability to keep transactions moving toward quick closings. She understands that buying a home can bring plenty of questions, so she focuses on staying accessible and making sure clients know what to expect throughout the process.

Outside of lending, Leslie enjoys spending time with family, traveling, and reading - including a longtime guilty pleasure for magazines.
