### Christine Reiser

Senior Loan Officer | Revolution Mortgage

Hi, I'm Christine Reiser, Senior Loan Officer—licensed in Indiana, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan, Florida, and Texas. With over 10 years in lending (and 5 years as a Realtor before that), I bring a unique, behind-the-scenes understanding of the entire homebuying journey. I don't just know loans—I know what buyers, sellers, and agents need at every step to keep things moving smoothly. I'm famously (and proudly) obsessed with clean, on-time closings. Mortgages can be complicated, but my job is to simplify the process, listen closely to your goals, and deliver loan options that truly fit your needs. Clear communication, smart solutions, and availability you can count on are the standards I hold myself to every day. Have a question? I'll answer it. Need guidance? I'm here. Want a smooth loan experience? You're in the right place. Let's connect.

### John Ruiz

Lender | Preferred Rate

I've been helping people navigate the mortgage world since 2004, and I've built my business on simple principles: treat people with respect, be honest, pay attention to the details, and always be available when someone needs help. Most of my clients come from referrals, which means a lot to me—it tells me I'm taking care of people the right way. I'm a big believer in clear communication and making sure my clients never feel left in the dark. If you need me, you can reach me. I answer my phone, I respond quickly, and I make it a priority to be accessible because the mortgage process is stressful enough without wondering whether your loan officer is going to call you back. My goal is to make the loan process as simple and stress free as possible. I walk you through each step, explain things in plain language, and make sure you feel confident from start to finish. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing, or exploring your options, I'm here to guide you with care, transparency, and a steady hand.
