about melinda kleyn

Local home loan advice, explained simply.

I have been the buyer too. Even with 20 years in this industry, when I bought my own home I checked the system constantly. I second-guessed everything. I was terrified. And when the approval came through I sat and cried, because I finally understood what my clients feel every single time.

That is why I do not treat applications like files. I treat them like the life-changing moments they are.

I fight for the ones everyone else has given up on. I make the call myself when the answer is yes. And I never forget that on the other side of that call is a real person whose whole world just changed.

That moment never gets old. It is why I do this.

Why I love what I do

The best part of my job is not the paperwork. It is not even the approval email.

It is the call.

When I dial that number and say “we got it”. I already know exactly what they are feeling on the other side. The screams. The tears. The disbelief. I have felt it myself.

That moment never gets old. It is the reason I keep doing this through every tough application, every decline and every setback.

Because the next approval is always worth it.
