Your Broker
With nearly 20 years in finance, Manuela Barson has dedicated her career to making homeownership simple, stress-free, and accessible. She knows that buying a home or investing in real estate can feel overwhelming, and she’s committed to guiding individuals and families with clarity, confidence, and care.
Manuela began her journey in 2006 and quickly became a top mortgage professional, ranking in the top 1% in sales at Bank of America by 2012. But she realized that big banks treat clients like numbers instead of people with dreams. Determined to make a real difference, she moved into commercial real estate financing, helping investors expand their businesses across South Florida.
But her heart was always with families, first-time buyers, and homeowners looking to create long-term financial security. In 2019, she returned to residential mortgage lending with a clear mission—to take the stress out of the mortgage process and help people build lasting wealth through homeownership.
Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or investing in real estate, Manuela is here to make the journey smooth, simple, and truly life-changing.
