One of my favorite analogies to use when it comes to obtaining a mortgage is that it’s like a white-water rafting trip. I’m the boat captain and the borrowers are along for the ride. During our trip we expect mostly smooth water, but there will be some rapids. You may get wet. If you fall overboard I’ll get you back in the raft. But, we won’t go over the waterfall! We will arrive at our destination on time, and hopefully you will have had a good enough ride that you’ll want to tell your friends and family all about it.

• Originating mortgages since 2003.
• Conventional, FHA, VA, USDA, and Jumbo loan products.
• Renovation and rehab loans.
• First time home buyer programs and down payment assistance.

As your Mortgage Loan Originator, you can count on me for timely follow up, honesty, and integrity throughout the entire loan process. You can expect your phone calls to be returned promptly, and answers to your questions. Making the loan process as easy and stress-free as possible is just one of the many reasons the majority of my business comes from repeat clients and referrals from those clients.

We just used Chris Holden for a somewhat complicated, multi state loan and he knocked it out of the park and even closed earlier than we originally planned. He was super communicative, easy to get a hold of, and conscientious of both our time and our stress level. I'd absolutely use Chris again and will definitely refer him to friends and clients in the future.

Chris was amazing every step of the way. My wife and I just closed on our first home and were pretty clueless about everything that needed to happen to make our dream come true. Chris provided stability and guidance to us from the very beginning. He was always available to call or email whenever we had questions and was very prompt with all deadlines. We made it through the entire closing process without any issues and it was all thanks to him. I would recommend Chris to everyone!

Chris Holden was my Mortgage Loan Orginator for HomeBridge. He was incredibly helpful from beginning to end of the transaction. He was not only efficient, he was helpful. I would send him information on condo or home I was considering and he would crunch numbers to help me understand if it was "do-able" or a "stretch" financially. He also would answer my questions at night and over weekends. He was patient, gave clear information that I could easily understand. I could not have asked for a more considerate and helpful loan originator. I highly recommend Chris if you are looking for a new home.

I’ve spent weeks searching for words to accurately express my appreciation for Chris and how helpful he was. I decided I can’t without writing an essay. People remember how you make them feel, I feel this guy listened and cared about my personal circumstances AND took extra steps for my peace of mind. I knew I could txt Chris anytime and he would respond with a confident answer, even if it was 7pm or he was on vacation. This is not my first experience with a loan originator; from here moving forward I’ll only work through Chris. Even my Realtor was impressed with him and wants to refer all her clients to him. Thanks Chris! One of my coworkers should be reaching out to you soon.

Chris, I don't know where to start. The first thing that I wanted to say, THANK YOU MUCH for what you have done for me during the last stretch to the closing date. I believed that, having you and Richard gave me home that I will never forget, a place that my kids will call home. That Morning I received the call from Richard regarding US Bank, then me being being referred to you was a call I will never forget in a positive way. I knew that You were the person who is going to make this happen, I was confident that any referral coming from Richard is always successful because I feel that most people in his inner circle do their their job from their heart and has honesty. Further more, you have been truthful to me during the whole process. I will 100% recommend Home bridge Mortgage to any one looking to buy a home in referencing to you as a loan officer. Keep up the good job.
Thanks A lot, Jane.

Chris was absolutely amazing throughout the whole process of buying a house. He walked us through all of our options and gave great advice to help us make the best home purchase. Chris made himself available for questions day or night and always got back to us right away. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking for a great lending experience!

Chris was amazing to work with, he was able to negotiate some challenges that I thought would throw the whole sale. He is professional, calm and knows what it takes to finalize the sale. I will recommend him to all my friends and family members.

We felt like we had Chris’ full attention from the very first exploratory phone call to the day of closing on our new home. He communicated regularly throughout the process and handled each problem in such a way as to minimize our worry. This is the second time he’s helped us get into the home we wanted and although we don’t anticipate a third any time soon there is no one else we’d even consider using if that were to happen. Thank you Chris!

Chris has helped us and other family members with multiple home loans and refinances. He is always professional, organized, dependable, communicative, and kind. He knows the market well and has helped us save money by keeping us up-to-date on changes to interest rates and when to refi. We will definitely use him again in the future! We highly recommend Chris!

Chris Holden has done an amazing job helping first time home buyers like us! He was there every step of the way and answered all of our questions, even curious questions that didn’t apply to our situation but, he was able to give us a better understanding. Overall, Chris has been a huge help and I would recommend anyone to go with Chris and HomeBridge Financial. I really appreciate everything he has helped us with

Thank you!

I have worked with Chris on a new home purchase along with a few refi's. He goes above and beyond to meet all needs that arise and makes the whole process so smooth by detailing out everything he will need and each step of the process. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so! Thank you so much Chris!

Chris makes the mortgage process easy. Chris provided outstanding services every step of the way from initial lending approval letters to locking in the best rates. Chris is very responsive to tight deadlines as well taking the time to explain the process. I would definitely recommend to using Chris to anyone in the market.

Chris was beyond helpful during our search for a home and getting approved for a loan. Always prompt in answering all our questions, and keep in constant communication and updating us, while we were in escrow and through the closing of our house. We would recommend him to anyone looking for a great loan officer!

I can’t begin to adequately express how wonderful it is to work with Chris as I buy my next home. This is the second experience with him in five years. Both times he made the process seamless; asking for what he needed, always quickly responsive to my phone calls, and explaining anything about which I had questions. He is friendly, patient, and very willing to put his energy into my successful home purchase! Would I use him again? Yes, in a heartbeat! He is excellent. I have NO reservation!

From 1st mortgages to refinancing ; Chris has been their for us for over 20 years.
His knowledge of bond markets and mortgage rates have helped us make smart real-estate and financial decisions. From Oregon to Hawaii he's always been just a phone call away.

When my loan at another bank fell through due to some communication issues Chris was able to pick it up and put it back together and we only had to delay closing five days. It was an incredibly stressful situation with me having to suddenly think again about where my daughter and I were going to live if it crashed, but Chris pulled us through with calm. I am eternally grateful.

We were referred to Chris by our investment advisor. Usually I am a bit nervous about working with people I don't know especially when it comes to money. Our experience with Chris was great! The process was smooth, he stayed in contact with us, and we received a better rate than we had expected. I would recommend Chris to my family and friends without question!!

Home Refinance
We were referred to Chris by our Financial Advisor. We wanted to take advantage of the low interest rates and refinance our manufactured home to save more money. Manufactured homes have different rules and regulations than stick built homes, but Chris was very well informed on all of these. Chris was great to work with and was always quick in responding to every question we had. And we had quite few. Chris worked very hard to make sure we received the best options available, and that we understood the entire process. We are extremely greatful for all his hard work. We highly recommend Chris for your home refinance needs!

I have had the joy of working with Chris on a few transactions. I once tried another lender and was appalled at how horrible their service was in comparison to Chris and Homebridge. Chris had to save the deal. He has always represented integrity and a holistic approach to lending. We highly recommend him.

We have obtained a mortgage or refi from Chris Holden several times as has our daughter and her family. He is the most responsive person I have ever worked with. He returns calls and emails with answers so quickly. All our dealings have been accurate and easy. We highly recommend Chris if you need financing.
