From microbiology to mortgages.
I started out in microbiology with my sights set on medical school. Then I took a year at home, picked up a part-time job at a mortgage company, and found out I could help people in a way I never expected. That was 26 years ago, and I never left.
Since then I’ve helped 3,648 families with their home loans. Today I run a Supreme Lending branch in Brooklyn Park and help buyers all over Minnesota, especially the north metro, and I’m also licensed in Texas and Georgia. I work with clients in English and Yoruba.

Your home is step one.
A lot of lenders stop at closing day. Fola starts with where you want to be five years from now.
- Starts with your goalsYour first call is a real discovery conversation about your family, your money, and what you want your home to do for you.
- Builds a 5-year planYour home becomes the foundation of a longer plan for building wealth through real estate, so you know what the next few years could look like.
- Checks in every yearFola reviews your loan and your goals with you every year, so you always know your options as life changes.
Buyers at every stage.
First-Time Buyers
The question Fola hears most is “How can I buy a house?” She walks you through the whole process step by step, in plain English.
Buying Together
Buying with someone else means planning together. Fola helps co-buyers find a loan that fits the budget today and the goals for the years ahead.
Self-Employed Buyers
If you write off a lot at tax time, qualifying can look a little different for you. Fola knows how self-employed income gets reviewed and will talk through the options that may fit.
Move-Up Buyers
Ready for more room? Fola helps you plan the move to your next home, including how the home you have now fits into it.
“Is my credit good enough? Do I have enough money?”
Credit and money. Those are the two worries I hear the most, and they keep a lot of people from ever making the first call.
Here’s what I tell everyone: let’s look at your real numbers together. If you’re ready, I’ll show you exactly what it takes. If you’re not ready yet, we’ll make a plan to work toward it. Either way, you’ll know where you stand.
