About Cola

Proudly serving clients across Virginia and North Carolina.

Renovations loans are my passion. With America’s aging housing, there is more and more need for renovation financing, and it’s my goal to make sure every homebuyer out there knows that this opportunity exists. I started my mortgage career in 1973 and worked on the operations side until 1983, when I became a Loan Originator. I am very knowledgeable about VA, FHA, and Conventional loans, with a specialty in renovation loans.

From day one, Cola Gavin helped me get a better rate with no fees like other lenders. She helped explain any processes I was unclear on, and responded very quickly. She helped make this first-time home buyer experience seamless. Would strongly recommend Cola Gavin and Homespire!

Cola was very helpful in every way. When I had a question all I had to do is to call her. She made it seem very simple. She was the one that made my purchase of this house happen almost 12 years ago. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a professional to act as your agent. Thank You Cola!

Cola is one in a million! The type of service you just don’t get anymore. Passionate hard working, extremely focused on getting the mortgage closed AND at the best price for you. Amazingly, covers all bases at the same time. Very rare, if you ever get the chance to work with Cola , you will understand. Wouldn’t do another mortgage without her.

Mrs. Cola was willing to fight for us the whole way. She did her best to save our house buying process after a previous mortgage lender messed it up. We almost lost our chance to get our house and Mrs. Cola was able to save it.
