Janna McLaughlin

SPRINGFIELD — AnnieMac Home Mortgage announced the hiring of Janna McLaughlin as a new branch manager, strengthening the company’s growing presence across Western Mass. A longtime Western Mass. resident, she brings professional expertise and deep local roots to her new role.

Advancing through increasingly responsible roles since 2018, McLaughlin works with buyers across the spectrum, but her specialties include helping first-time homebuyers and working with real estate investors and self-employed borrowers with DSCR (debt service coverage ratio) loans. Her knowledge of these specialized programs has made her a trusted resource for clients navigating non-traditional lending scenarios.

“What keeps me going, especially in the tough moments, is seeing people’s lives change through homeownership — particularly when they didn’t think it was possible,” McLaughlin said. “Getting past barriers, finding creative solutions, and helping clients reach the finish line is what I find most gratifying.

“I’ve seen how AnnieMac’s innovative programs and creative solutions are changing the industry, and I’m glad to be a part of it,” she added. “It’s always a team effort, and I enjoy collaborating with a trusted professional network to give my clients the best experience possible.”

McLaughlin concentrates her efforts in Hampshire and Hampden counties, serving clients throughout Western Mass., and is also licensed in Connecticut, South Carolina, Florida, and Virginia.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Janna to our team in Western Massachusetts,” said Angela Tourville, a fellow branch manager of AnnieMac Momentum Group. “Her experience, dedication to her clients, and strong community ties make her a perfect fit for AnnieMac and the borrowers we serve.”

I can relate to my clients on a personal level, and I do everything I can to help them through each step.”

Known for her persistence and problem-solving mindset, she is especially motivated to overcome obstacles that stand in the way of her clients’ homeownership goals. “I never like giving bad news, so I work twice as hard to find solutions,” she said. “Whether it’s helping someone boost their credit or identify the right loan program, I’m all in.”
