About Laura
A 37-year mortgage industry veteran, who serves as Senior Loan Advisor, Laura Lee has been involved in many aspects of the mortgage business. After receiving a real estate finance degree from the University of Southern California, she went to work for a mortgage broker in Orange County. Originally, she was trained as a loan processor and then as an assistant underwriter. However, after a few years of serving in the operations side of the mortgage business, she found herself wanting to work more closely with home buyers, helping them realize their dream of home ownership. As a senior loan officer, Laura Lee’s underwriting knowledge enables her to provide exceptional service to her clients. In addition, she helps guide and educate them to ensure the home financing process is smooth and efficient. This level of experience and product knowledge is vital to succeed in today’s mortgage industry and helps ensure a satisfied credit union member.
Laura Lee has spent the last 25 years of her 38 years in the mortgage business, focused on establishing and growing relationships with national and local credit unions. She is actively involved in the credit union industry and regularly attends various credit union alliances and conventions each year. This motivated Laura Lee to become a trusted resource for credit unions and help them invest in the communities which they serve. Her passion is to help credit union members and outside community to achieve the dream of home ownership using credit union financing.
Laura Lee is also the credit union connector for mortgage loans. By way of outside the box financing provided by credit unions, she has created a unique lending ability by leveraging several portfolio investors that offer an array of different products. This allows her to obtain loans for well-qualified borrowers that do not normally meet the requirements at larger institutions.
This gives her a niche that is much needed in today’s market. This is why credit unions, and other mortgage bankers, brokers, and realtors come to Laura Lee to help their clients.
