A HOME SEARCH STARTS WITH YOUR LIFE

A new role. A new city. A place that feels like yours.

Finding a home in Seattle or on the Eastside is about more than a listing. It’s the commute, your everyday routine and the kind of space you want to come home to. Then come the financial questions: What would the payment look like? How much cash would you need? What are your options?

That’s where Emily Allen and I bring complementary perspectives. Emily helps you understand the homes and the market. I help you understand the financing behind the move.

Emily is a Compass broker with more than 20 years of experience in Seattle-area real estate. Her background spans residential and commercial sales, leasing and property management. Her focus today includes tech professionals, first-time buyers, new construction and relocation.

Education is central to her approach: helping buyers understand each decision before they make it.

25+ years in mortgages · NMLS #742281

Emily and I started working together about 10 years ago. We connected over a shared approach: educate our clients, communicate clearly and work together so buyers understand what comes next.

Many of our clients are drawn to new construction. Emily’s knowledge of the homes and market complements my experience helping tech professionals understand how their income fits a mortgage plan.

I bring more than 25 years of mortgage experience, including 14 years as an in-house lender in real estate offices. Today, through Seattle Wholesale Mortgage, powered by O C Home Loans Inc., I compare options across the wholesale mortgage marketplace.

I look for competitive financing and help you compare it with other offers. Together, our goal is a clear, well-coordinated path to closing.

Helping tech professionals find their footing.

Emily works with Amazon, Microsoft and other tech professionals buying and selling in Seattle and the Eastside. For someone arriving for a new job, choosing a neighborhood can be as important as choosing a floor plan.

She helps buyers connect their priorities, including commute and lifestyle, with a focused search. Her relocation work includes new hires and transferees getting to know the area.

On the mortgage side, we can bring the payment and cash-to-close conversation into the search early. That gives you another way to compare homes, beyond the asking price.

Company names describe the clients Emily serves, not employer endorsements or a corporate partnership.

From a first home to a newly built one.

For a first-time buyer, even a promising home can come with unfamiliar decisions. Emily can help you understand the property, the offer and the negotiation. I can help you review loan choices, estimated costs and what’s needed for pre-approval.

New construction brings its own questions. Emily’s work includes representing buyers in builder negotiations and working with new residential projects. As you consider a home, we can help you look at purchase terms, financing choices and timing together.

The goal is a decision you understand, with room to ask questions along the way.

The home and the financing belong in the same conversation.

A good home search connects the property, the financing and the timing. Here’s how Emily and I can help you bring those decisions together:

  • Before you shop: connect your search with a comfortable payment, available cash and a plan for pre-approval.
  • When a home stands out: Emily can assess the home and offer with you while I estimate financing for that property.
  • From offer to closing: with your permission, we can coordinate financing milestones and contract dates so you know what’s needed next.

You choose your real estate agent and mortgage provider. Working with either of us does not require working with the other.

IN OUR CLIENTS’ WORDS

Another move we helped make happen.

A NEW HOME. OPTIONS FOR LATER.

Emily and I guided Brendan and Laura Bettinger through a new-construction purchase. I aligned their loan with a recast option if they chose to apply proceeds from a home sale later.

A recast was an option, not a completed step; lender requirements apply.

“Emily is the best! She got us our dream house way under asking.”

Individual experiences vary. No particular price, loan terms or closing outcome is promised.

COMPARE THE WHOLE OFFER

Have a workplace mortgage offer?

Send the written terms. I’ll compare the rate, fees, credits and cash to close with available wholesale options, using the same loan amount, type and lock period where possible.

Share your offer securely

Matching depends on current pricing and eligibility. Matched offers can’t be combined with other advertised promotions. Employer benefits may be limited to the original lender.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Two perspectives. One coordinated plan.

Emily Allen at Compass brings the real estate perspective. Seattle Wholesale Mortgage brings the financing perspective. Together, we help you connect the home, the numbers and the next step.
