Senior Loan Officer, phone 206.442.5328 HomeStreet Seattle Metro Home Loan Center NMLS# 628499I'm a third-generation native of Seattle and I'm so proud to call this beautiful city my home. And I absolutely love that my job is to help my clients finance their homes -- whether it's here in the great Pacific Northwest or throughout the West.
I'm also thrilled to be part of an incredible team here at HomeStreet. We've seen great changes since the Great Recession of 2008, and now unprecedented challenges with the current COVID pandemic. But at HomeStreet we have the people and the resources to make the buying and refinancing process smooth and easy. HomeStreet has been a local company based right here in Seattle since 1921. We've grown quite a bit these last few years, but our DNA is still that of a Community Mortgage Bank who makes service to our customers our absolute top priority.
Finding the right mortgage solution is like finding the perfect-fit custom-made skis. No two mortgages are alike. Guiding my clients through the process from initial conversation all the way to closing and beyond -- it's what I do and it's why you need an experienced, trusted mortgage advisor.
I'm a top-producing loan officer at HomeStreet, earning President's Club honors from 2009 through 2023 and the Circle of Excellence in 2009 and 2011-12. I'm also a 12-year Five Star Mortgage Professional Award winner (2010 and 2012-2023).
I live on beautiful Bainbridge Island with my wife, daughter, and chocolate lab. I love to golf, run, ride, paddle board, and read a good book.

Ryan Maxwell was a great help to us during our home search. Ryan was always available to answer questions and help understand different parts of the mortgage process. We felt very comfortable and in good hands. We will definitely continue to work with him in the future and highly recommend him to others.

Ryan worked very hard for me to make my HELOC loan a success, which it was. The process was complicated, even for me with my experience and education, but he explained clearly what was needed to accomplish this effort. He has integrity and genuine caring. I was completely impressed with his professionalism and aplomb. He is a great banker.

Ryan Maxwell knows what he is doing, is communicative, and does not try to put you in a situation you can't handle. I felt comfortable chatting with him about my goals, and he put together several strategies for how I could get there. During escrow he kept me updated, explained everything remarkably well, and facilitated everything moving through underwriting efficiently. I would absolutely recommend working with him.

Ryan was an obvious choice after interviewing a number of loan officers. He did not disappoint either. He was clear and consistent in his communication throughout the process. Ryan also did an excellent job giving unbiased advice which helped us ultimately make the best decisions leading up to and through closing. I would highly recommend Ryan to anyone embarking on this journey!

Ryan is an impeccable loan officer! It was evident from our first meeting with him that his skill set superseded that of others in his field. He made the lending side of home buying digestible, he was communicative, prompt, and flexible. My partner and I changed our minds on more than one occasion and Ryan unbegrudgingly made those changes happen. We're happy that we chose to work with Ryan to purchase our first home. It makes buying in the future easier because we already know who we would choose as our lender. Thanks for everything, Ryan! Shout out to your team as well for their contribution!

In the incredibly fast paced home buying environment of the Seattle market, it really meant a lot to us that we were able to build a relationship with Ryan over a couple of years as we went back and forth on our readiness. Ryan was informative, responsive, creative, and so understanding at every step of the process. No question was too small, and each of our worries and wondering were met with compassion and expertise through years of experience. And when the time came to get everything together so quickly for our home, Ryan and his team were at the ready to make the process smooth and seamless. We would not hesitate to recommend working with Ryan.

Ryan was extremely pleasant to work, and helped me through the somewhat difficult and confusing process of obtaining a loan to purchase a condo. His company website was sophisticated and easy to interact with. Ryan was very responsive and prompt in replying to any questions that I had, and he was proactive in telling me what to expect, so there were no unpleasant surprises. I found him to be straightforward and trustworthy, and would recommend him highly to others without any reservations.

Working with Ryan was so great! As a first-time homebuyer, I had so many questions, doubts, fears, and dreams -- and Ryan was there to help me through all of it. He was super responsive, especially when it really mattered, like putting in an offer in a time crunch. He worked with me on the numbers and made sure I understood everything and felt comfortable moving forward. I am so grateful to Ryan for helping me get my dream home!

Ryan was amazing to work with! He offered us many options and had a lot of flexibility with his products. This was essential for us as we were building our home because there were delays. We were able to not only lock a great rate, but extend its expiration date. He and Zach were great to communicate with and were efficient. Ryan is just an all around great guy and it has been a pleasure to work with him!

I worked with Ryan to purchase my first home in Seattle and his work was exceptional. As a first time buyer, he welcomed all of my questions and concerns about the lending process.

Ryan was available.
The process of buying my new place didn't follow a 9-5 schedule. It mostly happened after hours on weekends - and Ryan was a phone call or text away to assist at every point.
Ryan was focused.
In the context of a single email, I might have had 7 different questions. Ryan took the time to focus on and answer each one.
Ryan was knowledgeable.
Ryan's knowledge is manifest. He's able to break down complex issues into bit-size pieces, that are readily understandable.
Ryan was thoughtful.
Available, focused, knowledgeable - and thoughtful. Ryan is a thoughtful partner, and I was pleased with my experience - Thank you Ryan!

Ryan was wonderful to work with, especially as first time home buyers!

Ryan is phenomenal at his job. As first time home buyers, my partner and I had so many questions about how the process worked and how we could maximize our buying potential while being realistic about what we could spend each month. Ryan helped us understand all the pieces that go into calculating down payments and monthly payments and we felt secure in our understanding of what we could afford. We ended up purchasing a home that we love and still feel financially secure. We are recommending Ryan to all of our friends who are looking to buy their first home!

Ryan is a fantastic person, he patiently explained me the entire loan process and helped me throughout my application. He went above and beyond by creating a tool that helped me understand different interest rates and how will they play into monthly payments and provides long term saving. He helped me secure the best possible interest rate in this economy and made sure that the process goes smoothly. He kept me informed and provided references for insurance as well. Overall If you’re a first time home buyer, I would highly recommend Ryan!

Ryan was amazing to work with on our recent home purchase! He was responsive, detail-oriented, available, and very patient answering all of our questions.
When at the last minute we thought we might want to relock and get a better rate, he immediately took time out of his day to rework the numbers for us and explain the options to figure out what was best for us.
Throughout the whole process, he did an amazing job communicating and coordinating with our buying team (agent, title, etc.) and was a joy to work with. Thank you Ryan!

We had put our house search on hold and let our pre-approval lapse when our dream house came on the market. Ryan and his team scrambled to get us fully underwritten within days, enabling us to make an early offer and get our perfect home. Ryan is both incredibly knowledgeable and extremely personable, making the financing process smooth and simple. I had an 8-week old baby, and Ryan was exceedingly patient with whispered phone calls, frantic text messages and abrupt goodbyes. He kept my scattered brain on track, clearly communicating deadlines and being as flexible as possible. We are so grateful to Ryan and would recommend him over and over again to anyone who will listen!

Working with Ryan was wonderful. As a first time homebuyer, I had a constant list of questions and concerns, all of which Ryan was able to answer efficiently while minimizing the stress of the homebuying and loan process. When it really came down to it and I found the place I absolutely loved, Ryan acted quick and professional. I truly don't think the process would have been nearly as seamless if it weren't for working directly with Ryan. I would recommend him to any first time homebuyers out there!

It was a true pleasure working with Ryan. From our first contact to the closing of our purchase Ryan has been extremely responsive. He has shown his deep expertise around all aspects of funding a home purchase and was always ready to walk us through each step of the process. I would definitely work with Ryan again in the future.
