Most people come to us with the same feeling: they want to buy a home, but they're not sure where to start, what their options are, what they can actually afford, or who they can trust to give them a straight answer.

That's exactly why we built this team.

"Real estate is a team sport. And like any team sport, winning starts with choosing the right teammates."

Sean and Margie Hennessey are the husband-and-wife duo behind Signing Home Loans™, powered by Waterstone Mortgage. Since 2003, their approach has been the same: educate first, build the strategy together, communicate clearly, and never leave a client guessing about what comes next.

What Makes This Team Worth Choosing?

Margie Hennessey — A proud CODA — Child of Deaf Adults — who grew up with ASL as her first language, is a licensed mortgage professional with over 21 years of experience, and the founder of Signing Home Loans™. She spent 15 years as a nationally certified ASL interpreter before entering the mortgage industry, and those roots are woven into everything this team does.

This is the first mortgage team built from the ground up to communicate in your language — whether that is spoken English or ASL. Deaf and hard-of-hearing clients work directly with Margie, without relying on an interpreter or waiting for information to be passed through someone else. Direct. Clear. In your language.

Margie’s commitment to creating greater communication access in mortgage lending was featured as the cover story of the August 2026 issue of Mortgage Women Magazine, highlighting her journey and the mission behind Signing Home Loans™.

Margie also holds an ICF Life Coach accreditation, which shapes the way she guides clients and leads her team — with empathy, intention, and a genuine investment in each person's success.

Sean Hennessey — Before entering the mortgage industry in 2003, Sean graduated from Johnson & Wales University, trained in acclaimed kitchens in New York, Washington, D.C., and France, and became a Certified Executive Chef. That background still shapes the way he approaches lending today: with preparation, precision, teamwork, and a clear plan for every client.

Together, they offer what every homebuyer deserves and rarely finds — honest guidance, clear communication, and a relationship that does not end at the closing table.
