One person for the whole journey

Whether you are buying your first home, selling the one you have loved, or financing the next chapter, Patricia (Tricia) Cummins covers it from one desk: real estate through LPT Realty and mortgage lending through New Story Lending. Three services, one way of working: yours first.

Buying a home, financed from the start

The biggest advantage for buyers is that the loan conversation starts on day one, not after your dream house hits the market. You tour knowing what you can do, and you offer with confidence.

  1. No. 01

    Know your numbers

    We talk through budget, monthly payment, and the life you want the house to support.

  2. No. 02

    Get pre-approved first

    As your loan officer, Patricia (Tricia) Cummins handles pre-approval before you walk a single open house.

  3. No. 03

    Scout with a strategy

    Neighborhoods that fit your commute, your weekends, and your wish list, searched with intention rather than by accident.

  4. No. 04

    Tour like a pro

    Together we look past the staging and at what matters: structure, light, layout, noise, and neighborhood feel.

  5. No. 05

    Offer and beyond

    A strategy for the offer, steady negotiation, and a smooth road from inspection to the closing table.

Selling a home, with a steady hand

Selling is part marketing, part math, and part emotion. Patricia (Tricia) Cummins brings calm process to all three, from the pricing conversation to the hand-off of the keys.

  1. No. 01

    The pricing conversation

    Recent sales, market context, and your goals set a price that is honest and strategic.

  2. No. 02

    Present it well

    Staging guidance, simple repairs, and the small touches that help buyers see your home as theirs.

  3. No. 03

    Tell the story

    Marketing built around what makes your home special, reaching the buyers who fit it.

  4. No. 04

    Showings and offers

    Professional showings, careful screening, and negotiation that protects your position.

  5. No. 05

    Inspection to keys

    Requests, appraisals, and paperwork handled so the finish line feels easy.

What the lender side changes for buyers

Because Patricia (Tricia) Cummins is a Mortgage Loan Officer with New Story Lending (NMLS # 2616437), licensed in Colorado and Virginia, the mortgage is not a separate hurdle. It is part of the plan.

  1. No. 01

    One conversation for both

    Your story gets told once, and both sides of the deal hear it.

  2. No. 02

    Pre-approval before touring

    You know your number before you fall in love with a house, so there are fewer heartbreaks and no wasted weekends.

  3. No. 03

    One timeline, no surprises

    The contract and the loan move on the same clock, because the same person is watching both.

  4. No. 04

    Plain-English answers

    Rates, programs, and paperwork explained without the jargon, whenever you ask.

  5. No. 05

    A face at the closing

    Not an answering service. The person who helped you build the deal sees it through.

An honest note

No pressure, no double-talk. The mortgage piece exists to make buying simpler, never to steer you somewhere you did not choose. Every loan is subject to approval, and your options are always laid out straight.
