Washington State Mortgages, Made Clear. Buying or Refinancing? Let's find the right loan together.
I’m honored to have been invited to participate on the panel at the Northwest Real Estate Summit and Mortgage Expo. This event is scheduled to take place September 13, 2013 at the Meydenbauer Center in Bellevue. To rsvp or for more information, visit www.mywamp.org.
You may or may not know that I started painting earlier this year for a new hobby. Most of my paintings have been on black velvet. I was thrilled when I was asked by Marlow Harris if I would contribute an Elvis painting to the Elvistravaganza! exhibit at Seattle Center.
My painting of Elvis getting ready to enjoy a peanut butter, bacon, banana sandwich is not quite finished yet. I just thought I’d share where I’m at with him right now. I’ll post an update when I’m finished with him.
This event takes place during Bumbershoot, Labor Day weekend, at the Seattle Center. Elvistravaganza celebrates the 50th anniversary of when Elvis filmed “It Happened at the Worlds Fair”.
Come check out the exhibit during Bumbershoot. You’ll find a whole lot of Elvis at the Seattle Center Pavilion.
At last year's Mortgage Tech Summit, I presented a session on my "talking" good faith estimates and rate quotes. This is something that I do for my clients to help review their personal mortgage scenario.
On February 9 and 10, I'll be in Scottsdale at MTS to share how I am able to work with clients I really enjoy from my blogging and other social media efforts. I'm often contacted by mortgage originators across the country wanting my advice on social media – here's your chance to learn from some of the folks I consider the best in our industry. I'm honored to be one of the speakers in this line-up and can't wait to attend the other sessions.
If you're a mortgage or real estate professional, I encourage you to check out this event. Learn more at www.mortgagetechsummit.com.
And of course, I will be checking my email and voice mail on breaks while I'm away.
I’m very proud of my employer, Mortgage Master Service Corporation, the Porter family and my co-workers for being recognized last night at the Washington Association of Mortgage Professionals (WAMP) 2011 Leadership Awards for Outstanding Lender (retail mortgage company).
Mortgage Master Service Corporation was established in 1976 by the Porter family (my in-laws) and it was such an honor to be there with Marilyn Porter, President of Mortgage Master, and my sister-in-law, to receive the award.
I’m honored to be one of four finalist for Outstanding Mortgage Originator in Washington State by WAMP.
Congrats to all the nominees and those who took home awards last night. It was a fun evening made extra special by enjoying it with my sister, Nicole Christy, Frank Garay and Brian Stevens, Anny Havland as just few of the fine folks at our table. And it was nice to so many old friends after being in the industry for 25 years.

The West Seattle Street Fair (aka West Seattle Summer Fest) is taking place right now (actually started yesterday) in "The Junction" on California Avenue. If you've never been to the fair, it's a lot of fun, food, arts, crafts and music. The fair ends tomorrow at 5pm and goes on until midnight tonight…so don't delay!
