Bridgett Menard is a Residential Mortgage Loan Officer with Ameri Dream Mortgage.   
I am licensed in the State of Louisiana through the National Mortgage Licensing System and Registry (NMLS # 1256447). I am passionate about making a first time homebuyer’s dream become a reality often taking the extra step of educating borrowers on the home buying process. I offer all residential loan types including Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA/Rural Development, Renovation loans and Manufactured loans.

I am a native of and still reside in Lafayette Parish.  I have the knowledge you need to explore the many financing options available and will continue to be your mortgage specialist for life!

I specialize in the VA home loan program and regularly teach and attend classes, both in person and online, across the U.S. to stay up to date on all the changes to the VA loan guidelines. This helps me provide veterans with the most accurate and current information. I’m also not afraid to reach out to the VA Regional Loan Center when necessary to help veterans. My goal is to make sure veterans and their families understand the VA home loan process completely, and I’m always here to answer any questions they may have. I’m dedicated to sharing all the details and clearing up any myths about VA loans because I believe they’re the best option for veterans. 

Since market conditions and mortgage programs change frequently, you need to make sure you're dealing with a top professional who is able to give you quick and accurate financial advice. I am committed to providing our customers with mortgage services that exceed their expectations.  I have expertise and knowledge you need to explore the many financing options available. I  hope you’ll browse my website, check out the different loan programs I have available, and Apply Now for a loan in just four easy steps with the short form application.  I am also available to chat with you if you prefer to do the application by phone.  

After you've applied, I will call you to discuss the details of your loan, or you may choose to set up a face-to-face appointment with me.   As always, you may contact me anytime by phone, text, or email for personalized service and expert advice. I have the knowledge you need to explore the many financing options available and will continue to be your mortgage specialist for life!  

What I enjoy most about being a loan originator is the gratification that comes from helping people, whether it is getting them into a new home, or just being available to answer questions about their existing loan. I love getting my clients to the closing table smoothly.

The financial aspects of home buying can be stressful and overwhelming—but they don’t have to be, not with a trained and caring professional in your corner.

I consider it a privilege to assist you with your mortgage financing needs. Let’s get started making your home-ownership dream come true.

I am married to Seth Menard we have three children. I am active in our community and I love helping people.  In my spare time we enjoy riding around town with our family in our 1952 Buick/Special, and spending time making memories with our family and friends on the lake.
