Catherine Barnett 

Catherine Barnett is stepping into her 25th year in the mortgage world with the same thing that’s kept her going since day one…energy, grit, and a genuine love for helping people make smart money moves with their homes.

As markets shifted and the industry got tougher, Catherine didn’t pull back…she got more focused. She built LoanFIT around what she saw homeowners needing most: a lender who leads with strategy, clarity, and long-term thinking, not quick wins. That focus led her into a specialized, recession-proof niche…divorce lending. With advanced expertise in divorce mortgage planning(CDLP Designation), Catherine helps clients and their advisors navigate property division, equity buyouts, refinancing, and post-divorce homeownership options while protecting housing stability and long-term goals.

LoanFIT is a full-service mortgage brokerage offering Conventional, High Balance, Jumbo, FHA, VA, and USDA loans for both purchases and refinances. The team is known for clear communication, streamlined processes, and creative solutions for complex scenarios, including self-employed income, layered financials, and divorce-related mortgage strategy.

With key team members Lori McNeill (her sister and production partner since 2009), personal assistant Ashley Lucas and a great processing team, Annette/Kelli/Christine alongside her, Catherine brings a steady hand and a sharp eye to every file. The result is a lending experience that’s confident, transparent, and built around what matters most…protecting equity, creating options, and helping clients move forward with a plan.
