About Tami Wollensak, CDLP

Hi — I’m Tami - Divorce Mortgage Specialist | New Beginnings Advocate, and I help separating and divorcing homeowners navigate one of the most emotional and complex parts of their financial journey: the home.

 

When a relationship ends, the future can feel uncertain. Amid the paperwork, the emotions, and the negotiations, making wise and confident decisions about your home and mortgage shouldn’t add to the stress — it should bring clarity and peace. That’s why I focus on supporting individuals and families transitioning out of marriage with compassion, clarity, and hope.

 

With years of mortgage experience and a deep understanding of the unique challenges that come with uncoupling, I blend technical mortgage expertise with real-world empathy. I guide my clients through options like refinancing, keeping the home, selling strategically, understanding credit impacts, and structuring financing that fits where they are — and where they want to go next.

 

I believe:

  • Every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe in their financial choices.
  • Ending a marriage doesn’t have to mean ending your financial confidence.
  • With the right guidance, endings can become new beginnings.


Whether you’re exploring your options, facing tough decisions about the marital home, or ready to take the next step toward your future, I’m here to walk that path with you — with kindness, clarity, and confidence.
