Helping Colorado Springs veterans, active-duty military, and first-time buyers navigate the mortgage process with confidence.
Helping Colorado Springs veterans, active-duty military, and first-time buyers navigate the mortgage process with confidence.
I'm Linnea Clayton — a Colorado Springs mortgage broker with 35 years of experience and a straightforward philosophy: you should always know what you're doing, why you're doing it, and how it benefits you.
I don't work with everyone. I specialize in two groups of buyers I'm deeply passionate about: veterans and active-duty military using their VA loan benefit, and first-time homebuyers taking their first step toward building real wealth through homeownership.
My job isn't to sell you a mortgage. It's to become your most trusted resource — the person you call when you have questions, when you're not sure what you qualify for, or when you just want someone to give you a straight answer.
If you're thinking about buying in Colorado Springs — whether that's six months from now or next week — I'm always happy to have a conversation. No application required. No pressure. Just clarity.
Have a question? Call or text me directly at 719-200-1171
I'm not a call center. When you call, you talk to me directly, no call screening, no gatekeepers, you get me.
Before you ever make an offer, your financing is fully vetted, your loan is strategically structured, and you walk in to your Realtor, or an open house, with a Buyer Pass in your Apple or Google Wallet. These upfront steps certainly win offers.
I'm a 36-year Colorado Springs resident who knows this market, these neighborhoods, and what it takes to compete here. Whether you're at Fort Carson, Peterson SFB, Shriever, or the Academy I'm the Colorado Springs VA loan expert you need in your corner.
Or perhaps, you're buying your first home in the Pikes Peak region and you need someone with expertise in Down Payment Assistance. You need someone who can help you find the assistance you need.
You'll never walk away from a conversation with me confused. I take time to explain you options, your numbers, and your strategy, so every decision you make is an informed one. Then I go one step further and put it all into charts and graphs so you can see it.
Eveyone one takes in information differently. Some people are audio learners and learn by listening, others learn by visually seeing something. I make sure we go through this process by doing what is most comfortable and advantageous for you.
You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk. Most people don't. All you need is a question and 30 minutes. We'll take it from there.
