Meet David & Bri
Our story →You get David or Bri. That’s the whole org chart.
David Chandler
Apply →Loan Officer · NMLS 265974 · Movement
Twenty-plus years in, and David explains a mortgage like someone with nothing to hide — plain, patient, down to the decimal. Most loans are simpler than the internet makes them look, and he'll tell you so; when yours isn't — self-employed, building, the price says jumbo — he's closed a few hundred like it. He invests in real estate himself, so he reads a deal like a buyer, not a brochure.
Bri Lindley
Apply →Senior Loan Officer · CDLP® · NMLS 1367416 · Movement
A Southwest Portland local and one of the few Certified Divorce Lending Professionals in Oregon — the person attorneys call when a house is stuck in the middle of a divorce. She got into this because nothing sets people up for long-term wealth like owning where they live: it turns a necessity into an investment without much extra effort, and almost nobody says that part out loud. Before mortgages she trained surgeons on medical devices, which is about how she reads your file — carefully, out loud, until it makes sense.
Between them: 35 years on Portland mortgages, and a client list that’s mostly referrals.

How it actually goes
We talk numbers
Yours, real ones — before you fall for a house you can't swing. No credit pull to start, and no pitch.
You get a real answer
Usually inside 24–48 hours. If you qualify, it's the kind of pre-approval letter a Portland seller doesn't squint at.
We close on time
When we said we would. We handle the paperwork and the moving parts; you handle picking a couch.
“This team is amazing. We went through the entire process of buying our home with ease. I really appreciated how honest and upfront they were with me being a first time home buyer. Even conversations of ‘if you were my daughter this is what I would suggest’ — it put my mind at ease. The Lindley Team is a must.”
