I was born and raised in Massachusetts before my family moved to Palm Coast, Florida, in 2006. After graduating from Flagler Palm Coast High School, I enlisted in the United States Air Force, where I deployed overseas in support of Operations Enduring Freedom and Inherent Resolve. Following my military service, I spent more than six years in law enforcement, serving as an undercover detective, SWAT operator, and FBI Task Force Officer.
In 2020, I took a leap into a completely different career and entered the mortgage industry, helping build Select Professional Mortgages. Since then, I’ve been incredibly fortunate and humbled to grow into one of Florida’s top-producing mortgage loan originators, receive numerous national production awards, and build an amazing team of experienced mortgage professionals and one of Northeast Florida’s leading independent mortgage brokerages.
When the franchise that helped us get our start closed in 2026, my team and I saw an opportunity to take everything we had learned and built over the years and begin our next chapter: Unreal Mortgage.
Today, Unreal Mortgage is built on experience, relationships, relentless work ethic, and a commitment to delivering a level of service that is simply Beyond The Expected.™
Outside of mortgages, I’m happily married to my wife, Mary Capela, a top-producing RE/MAX Realtor whose brokerage is led by my mom, Pam Capela. Mary and I have two kids, a little girl and a little boy who keep us plenty busy when we’re not working!
When I do find some free time, I’m an avid golfer and love being on the water, especially in the Bahamas.
That’s enough about me though 😂 I’d much rather hear about you and what you’re looking to accomplish. Whether you’re buying, building, refinancing, investing, or just have a mortgage question, please don’t hesitate to reach out. My team and I are always here to help.
Hello!
I'm Theresa, but you can call me T. I’m a 35-year-old Flagler County native, born in Daytona Beach and raised in Palm Coast. After graduating from Flagler Palm Coast High School in 2007, I took a brief detour to Dahlonega, Georgia, but quickly realized there’s no place like home and returned to Florida without a second thought. Now, I’m a proud mom of two teens: my 14-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter. Though life with my kids was already incredibly fulfilling, a new layer of love and happiness was added when I met my husband and gained two bonus daughters. Spending time with my family is something I truly value and look forward to.
Flagler County is a hidden gem, and I’m passionate about sharing its charm. With nearly 20 years in customer service, I’m here to make your lending process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Whether you need local recommendations or help with a move, I’m excited to lend a helping hand in making Florida your home! Pun very much intended!
As an experienced professional in the financial industry, I have dedicated over two decades to empowering my community through financial education and helping people achieve the American dream of homeownership. Being a native of St. Augustine, I steadily advanced within a local credit union, progressing from a teller to a branch manager. Along the way, I honed my expertise in lending, underwriting, and project management. Now, I am applying my passion for numbers and commitment to assisting people in realizing the American dream as a mortgage loan officer. I have guided countless individuals, including first-time homebuyers, through the complexities of homeownership. As a mother of two, I understand the importance of financial security and am dedicated to making a lasting impact through genuine connections and a solution-oriented approach. Known for my meticulous organizational skills, I approach every challenge with an investigative mindset, always seeking the root of the issue to devise the best solution. My driven and purposeful nature makes me a trusted partner in navigating the intricacies of home buying and financing. With my extensive experience and unwavering commitment to helping people, I am the ideal partner to guide you through the homebuying process and help you achieve your goals. I am excited to put my skills to work for you.
