The team
A whole operation. Not one guy with a phone.
Most loan officers hold the entire file together in their own head, which works right up until they're on a plane, out sick, or handling four closings the same week. We built this differently on purpose.
Dave Lesser
Dave runs a heavily purchase-focused practice built on referral relationships, repeatable systems, and being reachable when it actually matters. He ranks in roughly the top 1% of loan originators nationally — though what agents tend to mention is that he answers on a Saturday and calls listing agents on their offers.
He'd rather give you the honest version of a hard situation than the comfortable one. If a competitor's offer is genuinely better, he'll tell you.
Rochelle Lesser
Rochelle brings the Lesser Lending brand to life — marketing, content, events, and the overall client experience. She keeps the creative side of the business moving and makes sure the details don't get missed.
Who you'll work with
Everyone has a role, and knows it.
Taylor McGee
Taylor is often the first person you'll work with here. She guides clients through the early stages of the mortgage process, coordinates applications and documentation, and keeps communication moving between you and the lending team.
Ali Kees
Ali takes loans from approval to the finish line. She works closely with clients, agents, processors, and the rest of the team to keep every transaction organized, on track, and moving toward closing.
Filipp Laptev
Fil helps buyers understand their options and navigate financing with confidence. Straightforward, client-first, on every transaction.
This could be you
We're looking for a licensed loan officer who cares about process as much as production. Purchase-focused, referral-driven, and supported by a team that already handles applications, documents, and contract-to-close.
What we do
We do the loans other lenders send back.
Most of our business is purchase, and a lot of it is the files that got complicated. Veterans who were told their entitlement was used up. First-time buyers who assumed they needed twenty percent. Self-employed borrowers whose income didn't fit someone's box. Multi-unit, USDA, second homes, investment property.
None of that is exotic. It's just work that takes a lender who runs these regularly instead of once a year.
What you'll actually notice: nothing goes wrong. That's not luck — we go deep enough up front that the surprises get found before you're shopping, not three days before closing. On the rare occasion something does come up, it usually arrives with the solution already attached.
We're in it the whole way, not just at the start and the finish.
- The first call, before you're looking at houses
- Document turn-in, with someone actually reviewing it
- The pre-approval review, where the strategy gets built
- Real numbers on specific listings, not a generic max
- Structuring the offer and quoting the terms
- Talking to listing agents during negotiation
- Contract to close, with weekly updates throughout
Everyone leaves the pre-approval review educated, empowered, and genuinely excited. Nobody leaves guessing.
This is the team you’d be working with.
