About Jeanne

An honest lender who makes the process simple

In today's market, it matters to work with an experienced professional you can trust — someone qualified to help you find the right loan product for your life, not just any loan. I take real pride in being an honest loan officer and in making the mortgage process as simple as possible.

My strong commitment to customer service and thorough product knowledge mean you'll always know where your loan stands, what happens next, and why. Clients tell me the thing they value most is that I answer every question and explain every step — so that's exactly what you can expect.

How it works

Four clear steps from "just curious" to keys in hand

No jargon, no surprises. Here's the path we'll walk together — and I'll be reachable at every point along it.

We talk

A no-pressure conversation about your goals, budget, and timeline. Bring every question you have — that's what this call is for.

Get pre-approved

A quick, secure application gives you a clear budget and a pre-approval letter that makes your offers stronger.

Find the right loan

Conventional, FHA, VA, jumbo, renovation, and more — I'll compare real options side by side and explain the trade-offs in plain terms.

Close with confidence

My team and I keep everything moving and keep you informed, so closing day arrives on time and stress-free.

Client reviews

What clients keep saying

Communication, patience, and finding the right fit come up again and again. Here's a sample from more than 150 five-star reviews.

Jeanne always made time to answer my questions and make sure I understood the process, and as a result I felt informed and confident throughout.

"Jeanne is incredibly knowledgeable and detail oriented and was able to help me in all aspects of the loan process. I can't thank her enough for explaining in detail the process and taking the time to go over requirements and explain why certain things are needed. She was available when I had questions and went above and beyond to help me understand and move forward very educated and confident in my purchase. I look forward to referring a friend to her and working with her in the future. I highly recommend working with her. She has expert experience and is a master at her job."

Beyond the office

Rooted in West Seattle

When Jeanne isn't walking clients through loan estimates, you'll likely find her out enjoying the Pacific Northwest with Scout — her four-legged co-pilot and the unofficial branch morale officer.

Giving back is part of the job, too. Jeanne proudly supports New Beginnings, Legal Voice, and the West Seattle Food Bank — local organizations working to end domestic violence, advance legal rights for women and families, and keep West Seattle neighbors fed. Through CMG Cares, she and her colleagues also support the MBA Opens Doors Foundation and the Cancer Support Community.
