Sandra Griego is a proud native of Santa Fe. She first became intrigued by the title industry and all the details of closing a transaction when she purchased her own home. Sandra started her career off by working in the lending side of real estate in 1992, as a loan processor; later she moved up to loan origination and loan underwriter. Sandra’s passion to be an escrow officer led her to begin a small locally owned title company in Santa Fe in 1996. She has built her reputation on accuracy and trust in the Santa Fe community. She has mastered the job in residential, reverse mortgages, 1031 exchange, real estate contracts and commercial transactions, making customer service her priority and going the extra mile.

Helping families realize the dream of homeownership is my passion. Over the years, I have been able to assist many families obtain financing, some for the first time, and it never gets old. To me, it's always been more than a job. The satisfaction and pride I feel each time one of my Borrowers becomes a Homeowner is indescribable. Each one is an emotional investment for me as every Borrower is more than just a loan, they are my friends, neighbors and community.

Everyone’s story is different, so no one loan will fit everyone’s needs. My job at First Mortgage Company in Santa Fe is to find that perfect fit. With 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry I have the knowledge and expertise to tailor each loan to meet the specific needs of each individual. I have specialized knowledge in conventional loans, government loans, construction loans, as well as PHA, VA and USDA loans. I am committed to helping you find the mortgage option that fits your unique financial situation.

Buying a home is the single most important investment one can make. Although it can seem intimidating, I am dedicated to making the process a positive and rewarding experience for you. I believe that communication is key to a smooth loan process, and I welcome the opportunity to earn your business and your trust.
