About Emily Caryl Ingram

I'm different than most mortgage lenders.

Most lenders will simply quote you an interest rate. I believe in addressing my customers' holistic financial condition. Your home is more than an interest rate. It's an investment, a retirement plan, a place to raise your children, and a refuge.

My focus is on relationships instead of volume. I'm not trying to close 25 loans per month. I probably won't ever make my company's "President's Club" for top salespeople. And that's OK with me. I'd rather close fewer loans and have deeper relationships with my customers. That's just how I prefer to work. I love the process of becoming a friend and an advisor to my clients and customers.

After the application is signed, I remain very involved in the process. I don't pass my customers off to an assistant or processor. I have an assistant and processor, but they work on the "back end" of things, handling appraisal, title, insurance, tax transcripts, etc. This frees up my time to be an advocate for my customers.

I also remain a vital point-of-contact after the loan closes. My customers don't have to call an 800 number if they have questions or concerns about their mortgage loan. They have my cell phone number. I frequently help customers replace lost tax paperwork, change automatic payment instructions, and confirm that property taxes are paid properly. I enjoy keeping in touch with customers after their loan closes.

Since 2001, I've played many roles in the mortgage industry. I've worked as a loan officer, processor, and I've even done some underwriting. I've worked for small mortgage brokers and monstrous megabanks. I've literally closed thousands of mortgage loans in my career.

I currently manage the Port Townsend, WA branch of New American Funding. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Math from Georgia State University. And serve on the boards of Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County and the Real Estate Professionals for Affordable Housing. Affordable housing is my passion.

You'll also find me teaching continuing education classes for REALTORS, hosting public "Lounge & Learns" to discuss various financial topics, and speaking at local events like Chamber of Commerce meetings.

I was awarded the Affiliate of the Year by the Jefferson County Association of Realtors in 2017. And I received the Associate Appreciation Award from the Jefferson County Home Builder's Association in 2014. I live in Port Townsend with two dogs, a bird, and a tortoise.

Are you Ready?
