hello, i'm Clarissa Lora

With nearly a decade in the mortgage industry, I bring experience from both the broker and banking sides of lending. I studied Business and Finance and have continued my education in credit analysis and homebuyer advocacy so I can better serve my clients with up-to-date knowledge and real support. My approach is simple: people over paperwork. I believe everyone deserves to understand the home loan process and feel confident in every decision they make. Whether I’m walking someone through their first preapproval or helping them make sense of loan options, I show up as a guide, a cheerleader, and sometimes even a translator—because I know how overwhelming this process can feel, and no one should have to navigate it alone.

I specialize in working with first-time homebuyers, FHA and VA loans, and clients who are rebuilding credit or using down payment assistance programs. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish, which allows me to serve a broader range of families in our community with care and clarity. Hallmark Home Mortgage gives me the tools to offer competitive loan solutions with a local, human touch. The culture here is built on integrity, teamwork, and genuine service, and I’m empowered to do what’s right for my clients every single time—which is exactly why I’m proud to be part of this team.

I’m deeply rooted in the Elkhart and Goshen communities. You’ll often find me at local chamber events, school fundraisers, or supporting organizations that promote financial literacy and housing access. As an alum of Bethany Christian Schools, I love staying connected with families in the area and giving back however I can. Outside of work, I’m a proud mom to a bright, curious boy named Benjamin. We love serving together at church and community events. I’m also passionate about supporting other women in business and often host networking events to help connect and uplift local entrepreneurs. I pour my heart into everything I do—because helping people feel seen, supported, and set up for success is what this job is really all about
