Team Leland-Walsh
We Help Our Clients Grow Wealth Long After Their Loan Closes
A team approach for an amazing client experience.
Michael founded Mortgage Trust in 2000 with the goal of helping individuals with their real estate and financial goals. In addition to staying involved with clients in that way, he now gets a ton of satisfaction from helping our employees achieve their financial and life goals and dreams.
Erin is always happy to help. This is more than just her business motto – it’s her promise to take the best possible care of you and your mortgage transaction. From initial estimating through final signing, she is always available to answer questions. Erin will not only help gather information to ensure all documents are complete and accurate, but she also makes sure there are no surprises at closing.
Together we redefine what it means to work with a mortgage broker or loan officer.
Our approach for more than twenty years has been to view your mortgage as an integral part of your overall wealth-building strategy. We've observed that a majority of borrowers are on less-than-optimal financial paths, potentially impacting their retirement. With this in mind, we don't just secure your mortgage – we align it with your broader financial objectives.
Our services are designed to provide you with the tools and knowledge necessary for long-term success. This includes access to our network of trusted financial professionals to ensure you have the support you need for all areas of your financial life.
Our dedication to your financial well-being extends far beyond the closing day.
We provide regular updates on your home's equity and local real estate conditions, enabling you to make informed decisions when buying, selling, or refinancing. Our annual check-ins track your financial progress, a commitment that sets us apart in the industry.
Furthermore, our holistic approach includes teaching you how to leverage home equity and invest in rental real estate, positioning you to increase your wealth. Choose Team Leland-Walsh for a mortgage experience that goes beyond the transaction to ensure your life-long financial success and peace of mind.
Vanessa holds a degree in finance and built her career in banking and consumer lending, rising quickly through the ranks before moving into home lending. She has a gift for turning mortgage jargon into plain English, so clients understand every step and decide with confidence, whether buying, refinancing, or investing. A Pacific Northwest native, she’s a first-generation American whose parents immigrated from the Philippines.
Jennifer brings more than 20 years in mortgage and has worked loans from every seat: transaction coordinator, processor, and loan manager. More than eight of those years were here at Mortgage Trust. After other professional adventures, she’s back, and she’s a familiar face. She knows what a file needs before anyone has to ask, and she keeps everyone informed from application to closing.
Laurie has processed loans for more than a decade, routinely handling 30-plus files a month across conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, jumbo, and non-QM programs. She knows income, asset, and compliance review inside and out. She has trained and mentored processing teams, and she works hand in hand with underwriters and loan officers to keep even complex files moving toward a smooth, on-time closing.
