Our history

Haven Lending mortgage team

Fiorella began her career in the banking industry more than 25 years ago, gaining extensive experience in financial services, including mortgage lending. Her focus has always been clear: delivering exceptional customer service and building lasting relationships with her clients.



Drawing on her years of industry experience, Fiorella recognized the opportunity to provide a more personalized and client-focused approach by becoming an independent mortgage broker and founding Haven Home Lending. Through her dedication, expertise, and commitment to putting clients first, she has built a strong referral-based business and an extensive network of loyal clients who trust her guidance through one of life’s most important financial decisions.

We founded Haven Home Lending with one simple belief: the mortgage process should feel personal, transparent, and stress-free.

To us, you’re more than a loan application—you’re a family, an individual, or an investor working toward an important goal. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, or growing your real estate portfolio , we’re committed to providing expert guidance, clear communication, and solutions tailored to your unique needs.

At Haven Home Lending, we do more than arrange financing. We build relationships, support dreams, and help our clients achieve their goals with confidence. Your success is our success, and we’re honored to be part of your journey home.
