Helping Military Families Build Wealth Through Homeownership

Meet Rickelle Stockton: The VA Loan Chick
Growing up in Hanford, California, I've got a strong bond with this community and know it's real estate market inside and out. I've always had a passion for numbers and helping people, which naturally led me to a career in the mortgage industry. Early on, I found my calling as a VA loan expert, assisting veterans and active-duty service members with the VA loan program. 

Navigating military homebuying can be tricky, with deployments and PCS moves making it tough to know where to start. That is why you need someone with deep local knowledge and vast experience helping military families. I've helped families stationed here on base and as far away as Japan, ensuring a smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable process. It is my honor to serve those who serve. 

My promise to you: I commit to clear communication at every step, so you're always in the know. I will help you make sound financial decisions and continue to be a resource to you even after you've settled into your new home.
