Sherry Riano has spent 25+ years doing one thing exceptionally well: helping North Carolina families get into homes, and keeping deals from falling apart along the way.
A Triangle native, Sherry grew up in Smithfield and Raleigh, attended Wake Forest High School, and has been serving this market for over three decades. She knows the neighborhoods, she knows the nuances of North Carolina lending, and she knows how to get creative when a deal needs a second look.
Sherry leads The Sherry Riano Team, a group of mortgage specialists based in Cary, NC, consistently ranked in the top 1% of lenders in the United States. The team's approach starts before the application, every borrower gets a strategy call first, so loans are structured correctly from day one. That one step prevents more deals from dying in underwriting than most people realize.
From first-time homebuyers and VA loans to self-employed borrowers, jumbo loans, and complex financial situations, Sherry and her team have the expertise and loan products to find a path forward. They serve buyers across the Raleigh–Durham–Chapel Hill Triangle, including Cary, Apex, Holly Springs, Wake Forest, Clayton, and beyond.
Sherry isn't just experienced, she's local in the way that actually matters. She's lived here, raised her family here, and yes, she's visited all 100 counties in North Carolina. So when she says she knows this market, she means it.
Ready to talk strategy before you apply? That's exactly how we do it.
