DISCOVER A PERSONAL APPROACH TO MORTGAGE LENDING WITH RICK VALDEZ

 

 

I am a California native, and I’ve lived in Oregon for almost 30 years. I’m a proud girl dad, father to three princesses, and I have two grandkids. I have fallen in love with the Pacific Northwest and consider this my forever home.

I love to travel, listen to music, and vibe out to old-school R&B and reggaeton! When business permits, I try to travel at least once a quarter. My favorite destinations include Florence, Italy; Cancun, Mexico; and San Diego, California.

I focus on eating healthy, whole foods as a non-meat-eating pescatarian. I love to meditate and go to the gym every day. Family is everything to me. As the firstborn son with several younger siblings, I’ve always valued those close relationships.

My mortgage journey started in 2006, and since then, I’ve developed a passion for helping people find solutions as a master problem solver. It brings me complete joy to help families achieve the American dream of becoming homeowners, building wealth, and leaving a legacy.
