Meet Karen Hines
I am thrilled to introduce myself as your Comprehensive Financial Strategist. I am a lifelong resident of the Dallas area, graduating from Plano East Senior High, the University of Texas @ Dallas (BSBA), and East Texas A&M University (M.Ed.). I bring a unique blend of corporate and educational experience to my role.
After starting my career at Texas Instruments and transitioning to an Elementary Teacher, I am now committed to helping my fellow neighbors navigate all of life's financial stages, from starting a family and buying a home to planning for retirement.
As a dedicated wife, mother, sister, daughter, and member of this community, I strive to provide exceptional, personalized service to every client. Regardless of your stage in life, I will guide you through every step of the process to help you achieve your goals with customizable financial solutions.
Do You Know What Your FIN Number is?
FIN stands for Financial Independent Number. It is the amount of money you will need to live monthly, according to your current income, from retirement to death.
Did you know the average time spent in retirement is 18 years? This is based on the U.S. Census Bureau. The average age of retirement is around 63, with the typical retiree living to around 81.
Do you have enough money to live that long without having to go back to work?
Mortgage Loans
What To Look For With A Mortgage Loan Originator
DON'T JUST CHASE THE LOWEST RATE
Interest Rate (The Cost) sets your monthly payment, but the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) reveals the true, full cost of the loan. Learn how to compare both to save the most money.
YOUR FINANCES ARE UNIQUE - YOUR LOAN SHOULD BE TOO
The Right Fit (The Program)
Whether you're a first-time buyer with a low down payment or looking for a VA loan, the right program is the foundation for a successful purchase.
IN A COMPETITIVE MARKET, A SLOW LENDER CAN COST YOU THE HOUSE
Reliability (The Process)
Choose a partner who will be with you from application to close, with a smooth, on-time closing so your offer is the one sellers trust.

Life Insurance
Consider This When Shopping
affordability / price
If you are focused on cost and making sure the premium fits your budget, and want to know you are getting the best price for the coverage you need, then you are in the right place to receive a free quote that is customizable to you and your family.
COVERAGE AMOUNT / FINANCIAL SECURITY
The primary purpose of life insurance is to provide a financial safety net. How much coverage do you need to replace lost income, cover debts (like a mortgage or credit cards), and pay for final expenses? You will want to know that you have enough life insurance to protect your loved ones.
Type of Policy / Flexibility
There are many policy options to choose from, but which one is right for you? We teach our clients to buy pure life insurance (Term Life) and invest the difference. We teach you how to read your policy, and give you the tools needed to make educated decisions about what's right for you and your family.
