Lynn was absolutely wonderful during our process of obtaining our loan! She is very detailed oriented and emailed specific steps along the process from start to finish. We never needed to question what was required next! She always made herself available to us via text, phone or email. Our insurance agent was impressed with the email sent from Lynn as to what was needed from said agent due to the clarity of requirements stated! We are extremely satisfied and grateful that Lynn was our loan officer and would highly recommend her!
Lynn Marie Oates is a Mortgage Loan Officer with more than 35 years of experience in banking and mortgage lending. Over that long career, she's had the privilege of helping hundreds of individuals and families navigate the home financing process with confidence.
What Lynn is known for is patience and teaching. She takes the time to educate her clients, answer every question, and guide them through each step of the mortgage process. In her book, there's no such thing as a silly question, and her goal is simple: that every client feels informed, comfortable, and confident in their decisions. Getting a mortgage, she'll tell you, should feel personal, not rushed or transactional.
Relationships have always been at the heart of what she does. Lynn is passionate about serving her community and stays actively involved through volunteering and local organizations, connections that let her give back, meet incredible people, and make a positive impact both inside and outside of her work.
She also writes Lynn's Blog, where she works to make mortgages easier to understand, sharing practical tips and straightforward information on topics like credit, down payments, underwriting, escrow accounts, refinancing, and what to expect throughout the loan process. Her goal there is the same as it is with every client: to take the mystery out of mortgage lending so you can make informed decisions with confidence, whether you're buying your first home, your next home, or simply exploring your options.

It was fantastic to work with Lynn. She is an excellent communicator, and I knew I could reach out via text, call, or email and hear back from her quickly. I felt like a priority to her during the process. She was patient with and very helpful to me as a single mom buying my home on my own. She was always friendly and professional, and she made the entire mortgage process much easier. I would highly recommend Lynn to anyone!
