STACIA WEISHAAR
Senior Loan Officer
A business coach and a book changed Stacia Weishaar’s life. She was so moved by “Start With Why” by Simon Sinek that it inspired her to end her career as a software executive, and propel her back into the mortgage industry after a 10-year hiatus. Her WHY in all she does in life is about building and fostering relationships with a foundation of transparency so that everyone she loves, likes, and knows is safe.
As a young child at the age of six, she was at risk of losing her own life. Now, Stacia lives each day with joy and a deep intention of keeping those she cares about safe. Because of her deep values of transparency and safety, she leads every interaction with her clients and partners with a drive to educate. Stacia and her team lead their mortgage practice with mindfulness. From the first point of contact through closing and beyond, she educates her clients based on their specific mortgage financing needs with a goal of managing the asset – their home.
Stacia is a national top performer. Her goal in business is to partner with like-minded people to effortlessly expand their referral networks while strengthening existing relationships with customers, partners, and peers. Her industry vision is to create a delightful refuge surrounding one of the most emotional, sizeable, and financially impactful purchases of their lives.
DAN WHITE
Sales Manager
Owning a home is one of the most important things you can do for your family, your finances, and your lifestyle. I grew up in Dayton, OH as the youngest of 7 and raised by two Teachers. We had a family home that my Mom and Dad owned for nearly 50 years. It was a hub for the family and a great source of pride for my parents. I entered the mortgage business in 1995 and moved to Phoenix in 1998. For 25 years I have truly enjoyed helping people with their home purchase or refinance. I have a number of hobbies, including the Arizona Cardinals, Barbecuing, and exercise. My biggest joy, however, is having family and friends over to the house for a get-together. Since entering the mortgage business, I have never forgotten how important this process is for our clients because it has proved to be so important in my own life. We always will remember the feeling of getting the keys for the first time to a new home. I am married to my wife Robin, we have 5 children (a new Grandchild), and have helped 3 of them buy their first home. It’s both exciting and can be a little nerve-racking at the same time. But that is why we are here. To take away some of the stress and make the process smoother. We would love to help you or anyone you know to purchase a home or refinance their existing mortgage.
