Welcome to Move Smart Mortgage, where we turn dreams into reality. I’m Leah Bunning, the heart and soul behind this journey. My mortgage career began in 2014, and little did I know, it would become the beacon that saved my life and transformed it beyond measure.

Survivor of domestic violence, I found my refuge in the mortgage industry. It not only empowered me with the knowledge to become a homeowner early on but also gave me the strength to stand tall. Today, I’m here, sharing my story to inspire others and bring change.

In 2023, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) revealed that single women accounted for 17% of all homebuyers. Yet, women like us are underrepresented in the leadership of the mortgage industry, despite our growing presence as homeowners. As a female-owned mortgage company, we aim to usher in a fresh and innovative perspective, one that serves the needs of ALL people.

Move Smart Mortgage is more than just a business; it’s a testament to resilience and the unwavering belief that homeownership is a powerful force for transformation. Join us on this journey as we guide you toward your homeownership dreams, creating a brighter future for all.

I’m Kelli Miles, and I’m thrilled to be your go-to mortgage advisor. Originally from the beautiful state of Tennessee, I made the move to sunny Florida in 2016! As a trusted loan officer, my goal is to make the home buying process accessible and understandable. I’m dedicated to bridging gaps and guiding clients every step of the way.

 I believe that owning a home is not just about acquiring property; it’s about laying down roots, building a stable future, and creating a place where life’s most cherished memories are made. My approach is grounded in empathy, education, and empowerment, ensuring that each client feels confident and informed throughout their journey.

Moving to Florida has allowed me to immerse myself in its diverse culture, build meaningful connections, and expand my understanding of what different families need to feel at home. Whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to refinance, my goal is to ensure you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy exploring Florida’s vibrant culture, connecting with my community, and continuing to grow both personally and professionally.

With me by your side, you’re not just getting a mortgage advisor—you’re gaining a dedicated partner committed to turning your homeownership dreams into reality. Together, we can open doors to new possibilities and create a foundation for your future.

Hello, I’m Stephanie Canas, your native Florida real estate professional. Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of helping families invest in their future through homeownership. Whether working with a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned investor, I’m passionate about guiding individuals and families toward turning the dream of owning a home into a lasting family legacy.

My work is enveloped in genuine care for the community I serve, along with providing clear, transparent guidance and education throughout the home financing process. I believe that when people feel informed and supported, they are empowered to make confident decisions. My goal is to help every client understand their options and create opportunities for long-term stability and generational wealth through homeownership.

As a mother, I personally understand how meaningful it is to have a place that offers security, comfort, and a sense of belonging. That experience has shaped my passion for helping others build a strong foundation for their families and their future.

To me, a home is more than just property—it’s where the magic of life unfolds and the foundation for the future is built.

I’m Amanda Deal, a detail-driven professional with over 20 years of experience in customer service, operations, and retail management. Throughout my career, I’ve built trust through consistency, organization, and clear, thoughtful communication. I thrive in fast-paced environments where accuracy matters, problems need solving, and people rely on steady follow-through.

Outside of work, I’m a devoted mom who values balance, growth, and being fully present for the people who matter most. Parenting has deepened my patience, resilience, and ability to remain calm under pressure—qualities that naturally carry into my professional life. I lead with empathy, maintain strong boundaries, and believe the best environments are built on support, clarity, and mutual respect.

I grew up in Southern California, spent eight years in South Florida, and now reside in Southern Oregon following a recent divorce—a chapter that strengthened my independence, clarity, and sense of purpose. As I continue building this next season of life, I’m finding my way back to sunny Florida, where my heart truly belongs.

At my core, I value meaningful connections, personal growth, and lifelong learning. Whether I’m supporting a team, guiding clients through a process, or navigating life with intention, I show up with consistency, integrity, and heart—and I take pride in doing things the right way.
