e launched his mortgage career at the age of 20,
and Brett McDonell maintains that he’s in the
industry “for life.” He explains, “Real estate is in
my family’s blood. My parents were successful agents
working throughout Huntington Beach and my uncle has
managed several local mortgage companies throughout
the past twenty five years. I’ve been around the business
for many years, and have always known I wanted to be a
part of it.”
His enthusiasm has shaped Brett’s business, propelling
him in his relationship-driven approach and motivating
him to consistently offer an exceptional level of client
care. His focus, he says, remains firmly fixed on accomplishing
each individual’s unique long-and short-term
goals. “I love structuring financial plans,” he asserts.
“My business isn’t transactional; I’m not just providing
a mortgage. Instead, I partner with CPAs and financial
planners to assist clients in preparing for their futures.”
Brett is a solution-oriented mortgage banker who
works with new home purchase loans as well as
refinances. His ample product knowledge and communicative
style have earned him the trust and respect
of consumers, real estate professionals and industry
specialists alike. Supporting the collegial relationships
Brett has cultivated with his referral partners is imortgage,
a mortgage banking company established with a
specific understanding of the needs of industry professionals.
On the cutting-edge of technology, imortgage
offers a wealth of products designed to meet the needs
of a range of real estate consumers.
He joined imortgage in May 2011, and Brett explains
how the company’s localized approach to lending
has made a difference. “With in-house processing,
underwriting and funding, we are able to significantly
expedite the process of securing mortgage loans for our
customers,” he says. “imortgage is truly dedicated to
conducting business, even during challenging financial
times.”
In addition to an array of competitively-priced loan
and refinance products, imortgage also offers real estate
professionals the advantage of co-branded marketing and
advertising, educational seminars and outreach tailored
to consumers, and the company’s history of excellence
in client care. With an experienced and knowledgeable
leadership team, imortgage continues to explore new
opportunities to assist consumers in achieving their real
estate-related goals.
“While we are an approved direct lender for traditional
loans such as FHA and VA as well as state and
government loan programs, imortgage also works with
independent investor groups,” states Brett. “Our relationships
allow us to offer exceptions on loans that
might not fit with traditional banks, and to provide
creative solutions for our customers’ unique situations
and needs.”
Brett adds that he appreciates the support of a knowledgeable
and dedicated team of professionals who
uphold the imortgage standard of care. “Our company is
structured to ensure not only that consumers’ needs are
consistently met, but that mortgage planners have the
resources and assistance necessary to allow us to focus
on developing and maintaining client relationships. We
have what we need to create our own success.” Brett’s
dedication to his business has yielded notable results; he
reveals that his business is thriving thanks to a growing
base of repeat and referral clients.
A dedicated professional, Brett is an active member
of the Newport Beach Association of Realtors® and the
Orange County Association of Realtors® as well as the
Financial Planning Association of Orange County. He
has funded in excess of $250 million in loans throughout
the course of his career, working with a spectrum of
clients including first-time buyers and high net-worth
individuals. The Orange County native is also a family
man who enjoys spending time with his wife Autumn
and son Cruz.
