DON BURNS

I began my career as a loan officer in 2000 and started with a loan company that was nationally known, after 6 years working with clients and experiencing frustrations over limited or restricted loan products, higher rates and what I felt were higher corporate fees added to loans for borrowers. I obtained a broker’s license and opened my own office in 2006. I no longer have monthly quotas and can now focus my lending time and energy on assisting borrowers to obtain financing based upon their individual needs and to be able to offer them better rates and more loan products while providing them with excellent customer service. My #1 priority is my client needs and goals. 95% of my clients come from referrals of satisfied clients that refer me to their friends, family and co-workers and I am thankful for the client support that I receive.

Brandon Torres

Hey there, I'm Brandon Torres, your friendly neighborhood mortgage lender, and here's a little peek into my world.

First and foremost, I'm a proud father of four amazing kids—two boys and two girls. Family time is everything to me, and you'll often find me soaking up every moment with them, whether it's playing sports, swimming, or just hanging out at the beach or a theme park.

When I'm not busy being a dad, you'll catch me pursuing my personal passions. I'm a health enthusiast and working out is my go-to hobby. There's something about pushing myself physically that just energizes me and keeps me focused.

But let's talk business. As a mortgage lender, I take immense pride in what I do. My priority is always putting my clients first, ensuring that their needs are met every step of the way. At H.O.M.E. Lending, we're all about transparency and honesty. We're not just another lender—we're your local go-to, offering rates that are lower than most of the competition.

When you work with me, you can expect prompt service. Our pre-approvals take a minimum of 10 minutes or less, and I'm available seven days a week to assist you. We understand that every individual's financial situation is unique, which is why we offer compromise payment options tailored to your budget.

But beyond all the numbers and paperwork, what sets us apart is our commitment to integrity and authenticity. I believe in being real with my clients, building trust through honesty and genuine care.

So if you're ready to take the next step towards your homeownership goals, I'm here to guide you through the process with a smile and a whole lot of dedication. Let's make your dream home a reality, together.

Ruth Awan

As a Mortgage Loan Officer deeply ingrained in the fabric of the Central Valley, I bring not only professional expertise but also a rich tapestry of personal experiences to my work. I'm not just a Mortgage Loan Officer; I'm also a mother of three children and a dedicated wife. Balancing these roles alongside my career, I understand the importance of flexibility and efficiency.

Outside of work, my family and I thrive on spontaneity, often embarking on adventurous outings. Whether it's impromptu beach trips or leisurely boat rides out on the Delta, we relish in the beauty of our surroundings and the joy of shared experiences. Wearing multiple hats isn't always easy, but it's a challenge I embrace wholeheartedly, driven by a desire to excel in all aspects of my life.

Despite the demands of juggling family and work responsibilities, I remain steadfast in my commitment to serving our community and helping clients achieve their homeownership dreams. It's this blend of personal passion and professional dedication that fuels my drive to get the job done – efficiently, effectively, and with a genuine smile.
