I’m a Loan Originator with Mortgage Up and a Realtor with Boss Lady Realty, based in Grandville, Michigan and proudly serving Grand Rapids and the West Michigan area—helping people make confident home-financing decisions that actually fit who they are and where they’re going.
Whether it’s your first home, your next investment, or a refinance that finally makes sense, I love helping clients align their choices with their goals — and grow wealth along the way.
I’m a strategist by trade but a people person at heart. I’ve worn a lot of hats — including pastry chef — and I bring that same blend of creativity and grit to everything I do. I’m the one who asks good questions, finds clarity in the chaos, and cheers you on while we get it done.
When I’m not talking strategy or mortgages, you’ll find me in my garden, reading a good book, watching a show, or splashing into a game of pool volleyball. I’ve got two dogs, ten chickens, and a small pond full of Koi that are living their best life. I love good wine, a fancy meal, and staying close to home these days — but if there’s a crowd, you’ll probably hear my laugh before you see me.

What People Say About Me
I've had the pleasure of working with Maria Tornga from Mortgage Up, and I can confidently say she is one of the best in the business. Her dedication to excellent service, clear communication, and creative problem-solving truly sets her apart. My clients consistently feel supported and informed every step of the way, and that's priceless. Highly recommend partnering with Maria for anyone looking to make their home financing process smooth and successful.
Maria was amazing! She knew we wanted the perfect "forever" home and she wouldn't stop until we got it. Any time day or night, Maria was available - whether it be an email or phone call. She helped us both sell our old home, and buy our new home. She is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of home buying and selling. She took into account all our needs, and delivered! I believe Maria went above and beyond, and I would highly recommend her for anyone looking to buy or sell a house!
Maria is a very gifted professional and personable agent. She is very knowledgeable and attentive. I had a very tight timeline and she took care of everything from start to finish. I would highly recommend her services.
I was referred to Maria from my very best friend and was far from disappointed. I was in a rush to buy and she met me almost every night for hours looking at every single house I sent her because I had no idea what I wanted. She got me into the perfect house for me and my daughter and as quickly as she possibly could. She even referred me to new financing for my mortgage which worked out so much better than the CU I was planning on using. I will always use Maria in the future and have already told everyone that would listen about how fantastic she is! Plus I made a new friend :)
