Based in Kirkland, I work with clients across the greater Seattle metro — from first-time buyers in Redmond to investors in Bellevue. At OriginPoint, I bring the resources of a national lender with the personal attention of a local advisor.
My approach is straightforward: I listen first, then build a lending strategy that fits your finances, not the other way around. No pressure. No jargon. Just clear communication and honest recommendations at every stage.
We discuss your goals, timeline, and financial picture. I answer your questions and outline what to expect — no obligations, just clarity.
I review your options, pull your numbers, and get you pre-approved so you know your budget and can act with confidence in a competitive market.
Once you're ready, I guide you through the application process and help gather everything needed — keeping things organized and on track.
From appraisal to underwriting to your closing table, I stay in touch and keep you informed. After closing, I'm here if you ever need anything.
