Bryan LaFlamme – Movement Mortgage

Commission programs help families who thought homeownership would always be out of reach. There is absolutely nothing like telling someone, who never thought it was going to be possible, that THEY are going to have a home all their own! It’s what gets me out of bed in the morning, and the Commission’s programs are THE integral part in making that happen for so many people. I love pulling back the curtain and showing people how close they actually are to realizing their dream. As a father to three and a 10yr Army Veteran, I know what it means to serve. That is exactly what my team is here to do: Serve our community through homeownership. Contact Bryan at 253-214-7602 or thelaflammegroup@movement.com MLO #396723

Jose Zuniga – CMG Home Loans

I use the Commission’s programs because the Commission helps reduce the costs and obstacles often involved in home financing process. Oftentimes, the greatest hurdle a buyer can face is coming up with the down payment. The Commission provides various solutions to this problem with the amount of down payment assistance programs they offer, making homeownership more accessible for those who DREAM of owning their home. With many years in the mortgage industry, I’ve helped hundreds of families finance their first home. As a loan officer, I understand how impactful this process is and how important it is to have the right person guiding you. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to help everyone equally. I’m an avid hiker and landscape photographer with a degree in Biology. Prior to lending, I pursued a career in medicine. Now I wear a different cap, helping others realize their dream of homeownership. Contact Jose at (509) 305-3259 or jzuniga@cmghomeloans.com MLO #1211137

Kerwin Lyon – Guild Mortgage

One of the most common questions I hear from first time buyers is, “How much money do I really need saved for a down payment and closing costs?” It’s a fair question and often a question that discourages qualified homebuyers from buying a home. The Commission’s down payment assistance programs are great tools my team uses to combat common misconceptions around upfront costs when purchasing a home. By helping people understand how The Commission’s programs work, I’m often able to show them a realistic path to homeownership sooner than expected while keeping their out-of-pocket costs lower than they first thought. I’ve been in the mortgage industry for over 25 years, and what I continue to enjoy most is helping people take that first step towards homeownership with confidence. My role is to listen to your goals, explain your financing options clearly, and help you understand what’s required and what isn’t. I’m fortunate to work alongside a diverse, down-to-earth team that shares the same commitment I do making the home buying process feel approachable and well-supported from start to finish. Please call or text me at 425-652-3333 or email teamlyon@guildmortgage.net. MLO #275494

Estrella Sanchez – CMG Home Loans

I use Commission’s programs because they create opportunities that many buyers don’t realize exist and open doors that might otherwise feel out of reach. Many hardworking families simply need the right guidance and resources to make homeownership possible. Using programs that benefit my clients allows me to create real opportunities for them to build stability, wealth, and a future for their families. At the end of the day, my job isn’t just about closing loans — it’s about helping people change their lives through homeownership. I was born and raised in Yakima, Washington, and watching my parents sacrifice everything for us shaped my work ethic and purpose. Today, I’m driven to help families achieve homeownership while building a legacy for my children while honoring my parents. What sets me apart is the heart I bring to every client experience. I believe every family deserves to feel educated, supported, and celebrated throughout their homeownership journey. I’m fully committed to helping families access opportunities. Contact Star at (509) 367-4113, esanchez@cmghomeloans.com. MLO #2133039

With 10 yrs of experience as a Loan Officer, I am passionate about educating and guiding both first-time & returning homebuyers throughout the mortgage process.
