"A big shout-out to Kristi Olson! We reached out to around 15 lenders and she came through for us… 10 days from application to money in our account. Great rate, no appraisal, nothing up front. If you want a HELOC or need a mortgage loan, she's your gal."

"Having her as both our realtor and mortgage broker made the entire home-buying process seamless and stress-free. It's rare to find someone who can handle both sides so efficiently, but Kristi exceeded every expectation."

"Kristi went above and beyond when she caught an error in our loan that would have cost us more than $3,000 — her attention to detail saved us a significant amount of money. We felt supported every step of the way. Highly recommend!"

Common questions

Questions people ask about Olson Home Group

Who is Kristi Olson?

Kristi Olson, MBA is an independent mortgage broker (NMLS #1459928) and a licensed Arizona Realtor, based in Show Low in the White Mountains. She has been in mortgage lending for more than 15 years and has processed over 1,000 mortgages. Her mortgage licence is sponsored by Barrett Financial Group, L.L.C. She is not a bank employee and does not work for a single lender.

Is Olson Home Group a bank or a mortgage broker?

A broker. That is the whole difference. A bank can only offer you what is on its own shelf, so if your file does not fit that shelf the answer is no. As a broker Kristi shops more than 100 wholesale lenders and places each loan with whichever one actually fits the borrower. It matters most on the files banks decline — self-employed income, land, manufactured and park-model homes, cabins and rural property.

Can the same person be my realtor and my mortgage broker?

Yes, and Kristi is both. It means there is no gap between your agent and your lender: no property type that surprises the underwriter, and no pre-approval that turns out never to have been underwritten. Up here that is usually what ends deals. You are never required to use both sides — plenty of clients use one.

What areas does Olson Home Group serve?

Show Low, Pinetop-Lakeside, Lakeside, Snowflake, Taylor, Heber-Overgaard, Springerville, Eagar and the surrounding White Mountains of Arizona. Kristi originates mortgages in Arizona and Missouri, and through Barrett Financial's multi-state network can connect you with a licensed loan officer in much of the rest of the country. Real estate representation is Arizona only. There is no walk-in office — Kristi lives here and meets clients locally or remotely.

What kinds of loans can Olson Home Group do?

Conventional, FHA, VA and USDA; self-employed programs that qualify on bank statements, 1099s, profit-and-loss or assets instead of tax returns; first-time buyer programs and down payment assistance; reverse mortgages including buying a home with one; cash-out and HELOC; jumbo, bridge, construction and renovation; manufactured and park-model homes, including homes that have been moved; vacant land; investor and DSCR; physician; and Section 184.

How do I get started?

Start with a conversation — call or text 602-737-1045, email [email protected], or book a call. There is no fee to talk and no obligation. If a file is not ready yet, Kristi will say so plainly and tell you what would make it ready. Loan approval is subject to underwriting; nothing here is a commitment to lend.
