Who We Are
Brian and Morgan spent eight years working side by side at a large mortgage lender, where they saw firsthand what worked—and what didn't. Together, they shared a vision of creating a brokerage that put clients first by offering better rates, personalized service, and a simpler, more transparent mortgage experience.
Brian founded Arete Mortgage NW in 2017 to bring that vision to life, and Morgan joined as a partner in 2020. Today, they combine more than 30 years of industry experience with a shared commitment to helping every client make confident, informed financial decisions
