About me
Every morning when I wake up, I jump out of bed excited to start the day and head to the office. For many, getting a mortgage can seem overwhelming, but I take pride in simplifying the process and creating custom strategies that meet my clients' financial goals. Helping people achieve their dreams of homeownership is what truly fills my cup.
From serving two tours in Afghanistan as a Marine to earning my business degree from The University of Washington, the journey that brought me here has shaped how I serve my clients and partners at the highest level. Whether it's working on a deal, spending time on the golf course, hitting a CrossFit workout, or perfecting my lawn to look like a golf green, I strive for excellence in everything I do.
At the end of the day, the most important things in my life are serving Christ, & building a life with my wife, and two sons.
I look forward to serving YOU!

Testimonials
Very involved, very professional, very knowledgeable, very friendly.
I've had the pleasure of coaching Chris for the last 6 months. His mortgage IQ in incredibly high, but more important are his systems and dedication to his clients. Given my 30 years in mortgage banking, I cannot say enough kind words about Chris and his team. They are the best of the best.
Chris and his team made a great impression with my VA buyers who interviewed 2 additional lenders as well. From the very beginnng, Chris and his team were super knowledgeable and thorough in making sure my clients knew all of their options and felt comfortable each step of the way. Communication throughout the transaction was phenomenal and we closed on time. My clients even remarked what a great experience it as to work with Chris and his team and told me to make sure I continue to refer my clients his way. Great job team!
Chris Yeakel is a fantastic loan officer who goes above and beyond for his clients! From the very beginning, he communicated with us regularly over Zoom, making sure we always understood each step of the process. He even took time out of his days off to help us crunch numbers and explore several different options, ensuring we could make the best decision for our situation. We felt supported and guided through the entire process and he made sure the process was smooth and stress-free. We have worked with other loan officers in the past and feel that Chris' communication, patience, and genuine care sets him apart from the rest. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated loan officer!
Great communication during the process
Chris and his team were very communicative and made the process easy. They were available to answer questions at any time and took the time to explain, in detail, the homebuying process.
