About Dan Lavinder, Nmls# 183757
For more than 20 years, I’ve been helping homebuyers and homeowners throughout the Portland–Vancouver Metro area find the right mortgage solutions for their goals. My focus is simple — customers for life.
When you work with me, you’ll deal directly with one person from start to finish — no call centers, no passing you around. I handle everything personally: from your first questions to your loan approval and closing.
I specialize in FHA, VA, and Conventional programs, as well as Jumbo, Reverse, and Bank Statement loans for self-employed borrowers. Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, or exploring investment options, I’ll take the time to explain your choices and make the process clear, efficient, and stress-free.
My business is built almost entirely on repeat clients and referrals — people who trust me to take care of their families and friends the same way I took care of them. That’s what “customers for life” truly means.
I’m always available to answer your questions — by call, text, or email — and there’s never any obligation.

NO OBLIGATION "INSTANT" WRITTEN ESTIMATES
Free Written Mortgage Estimates — No SSN, No Credit Pull, No Obligation
Most lenders require a full loan application and your Social Security number before they’ll show you real numbers. I keep it simple.

• Estimated payment details
No credit check. No sensitive information.
And absolutely no obligation to move forward.
Reverse Refinance Mortgage
If you are over 62 and have substantial equity in your home, you could qualify for a Government insured refinance, payoff the current mortgage, take out cash and never make an interest mortgage payment for as long as you live in the home, And, regardless of the future value, you can never owe more than the home is worth. You are only required to pay your taxes, insurance and HOA dues. Qualifying is much easier and most of my customers qualify with just their social security income.
Reverse Purchase Mortgages
A Reverse Mortgage can also be used to buy a home. If you are over 62 and have enough equity from the sale of your home to put a little more than half down, you could qualify for a Reverse Purchase Mortgage for the balance and never make an interest mortgage payment for as long as you live in the home. And, regardless of the future value, you can never owe more than the home is worth. This amazing product for seniors will almost double your buying power If qualifying for a traditional mortgage if it's difficult to income qualify.
