Brenda Brand-Straubel

Born and raised in Oregon, I went to college in California then finished up at Western Oregon University. I raised four children and now have 4 beautiful grandchildren. Two of my kids were in the military and the youngest two have just finished college and are ready for life’s challenges. I recently married my college best friend that I hadn’t seen for 35 years. We like to dance, study history, read, hike, bike and spend time with family.

I have been truly blessed and feel that gratefulness has been my overwhelming experience looking back on my full life and dreaming about our up-and-coming future. I love our country and am fully appreciative of my faith and how I’ve been guided through very tough times in order to be here now for others that may need a hand.

My lending career began in 2005 and today, as a Mortgage Loan Officer, I continue to combine my passion for financially helping families with the desire to provide them with a superior lending experience. From initially estimating to overseeing all the transactional details throughout the process and all the way through closing I care about the customer having a smooth as possible experience.

My promise to every client, whether a first-time home buyer or repeat purchaser of investment properties, is that I will always work toward what is in their best interest by presenting different options and possibilities of their transaction.
