MEET THE TEAM

Our Regional Team has one job - supporting YOU!


We act quickly to deliver the tools, technology and education necessary for success.

 

With more than a dozen branches in the region, our localized approach allows for an originator to focus on building their business while we handle the rest.

Kaylee started in the real estate industry in 2015 and became part of the Prime Family in 2019. Her official title might be Regional Production Coordinator but from marketing to sales support she's your go-to-girl when learning the ropes at PrimeLending. 

Born and raised in Dallas, Kaylee loves to spoil her dog, Gracie, is an avid Jeopardy! fan, and is the Football Commissioner of the #PrimePickEm league.

VP / Manager - West Division Underwriting

I've had the privilege of working at PrimeLending for the last 6 years. They have treated my family and I with care and respect.

This is an organization that I believe is gritty, nimble, and has the stamina to withstand various market conditions. The stabilitycomradery, and the sales focused platform I need to succeed is all here for me. These are values why I love working here!

I have 5 beautiful children and wife of 17 years. When I'm not reaching out to talented originators across the Pacific Northwest, you'll find me with my "Rod Squad" or "Table for 7"! We love taking walks, riding bikes, fishing, hiking, camping, or gathering with our church family and friends.

Life is a gift and I do my best giving it.

Regional Marketing Coordinator

I have been in the mortgage industry for the last 30 years, and I am incredibly grateful the last 13 have been with PrimeLending.

As Regional Operations Manager in the Pacific Northwest region, I take to heart our "One Team, One Purpose" ethos with great passion. We truly have a cohesive network of support available, providing resources including, but not limited to technology, marketing, training, and loan level assistance. I truly believe we have the best team who are not only amazing in their respective roles, but who are selfless, encouraging, and supportive of each other, and everyone else.

In my down time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and dog, and relaxing at home with a great book or movie.

What I love most about PrimeLending is our people-centric culture, and how we operate more as a family. We support each other's successes and celebrate each and every win.

When I am not at my computer, I volunteer as an EMT / Firefighter with L.C.F.D. 10 in Packwood, WA.
Any opportunity to give back to my community is a huge passion of mine.
