For Attorneys and Financial Professionals

A Lender Who Understands Your Client's Whole Picture

When your client is going through a divorce, settling an estate, retiring, or changing careers, a mortgage is rarely straightforward. I work with attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors in Oregon and Arizona to find home financing that fits complicated situations. I coordinate with your team so nothing gets missed and your client is never left guessing.

Where I Can Help

  • Divorce, including buying out a spouse, qualifying on support income, and buying a new home after a settlement

  • Estate and probate, including financing a home that is part of an estate or an inherited property

  • Retirement, including qualifying on savings, investments, and retirement income

  • Self-employed clients whose income is not fully reflected on their tax returns

  • Investors and business owners who are buying, refinancing, or restructuring

  • Clients starting over after a major life or career change

How I Work With Your Team

With your client's permission, I keep you informed and work from the same timeline. I will ask for what I need early and explain it clearly, so your client is not handling the same request twice. I can give you a straightforward read on what they qualify for, what is likely to get in the way, and what needs to happen first, so you can advise them with real numbers in hand.

What You Can Expect

  • A clear, honest assessment of what your client can qualify for before they make decisions

  • Complete, well-documented files so underwriting moves without surprises

  • Plain explanations of the loan structure and costs, with no jargon

  • Steady communication with you and your client from application through closing

  • Respect for how sensitive these situations are

I take the time to understand each client's full picture, and I have never believed a complicated situation should mean being turned away.

Let's Work Together

If you have a client who needs a lender who will listen carefully and communicate clearly, I would welcome the chance to connect.
