About the
Team

Two loan officers who answer their own emails, one Portland team, and 35 years of deals between them. Here's the honest version of who you'd be working with.

David Chandler and Bri Lindley — The Lindley Team

David Chandler & Bri Lindley · The Lindley Team

David Chandler

David has done this for more than 20 years, and he explains it 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 — you're self-employed, you're building, the price tag says jumbo — he's closed a few hundred like it and knows exactly which lever to pull.

He invests in real estate himself, so he reads a deal like a buyer, not a brochure. Hundreds of five-star reviews suggest the approach works. Licensed in Arizona, Georgia, Oregon, and Washington.

Bri Lindley

Bri didn't find the mortgage business — she was raised in it. Her mom built The Lindley Team, and Bri grew up watching what it looks like when a lender actually takes care of people. When she took over the name, keeping that standard stopped being a value statement and became a family matter.

She's a Senior Loan Officer and a Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP®) — a designation only a handful of Oregon lenders hold. When a house is caught in a divorce, Bri works alongside the attorneys to untangle it: the buyout, the refinance, a clear read on what each person can afford next. It's exacting work, and the reason she does it is simple. At the end, someone keeps their footing — a home, a credit score, a next chapter that actually pencils.

She's also why clients never wonder what's happening with their file. Bri builds the team's systems herself — the updates, the follow-ups, the “here's exactly where things stand” messages — because silence from a lender is its own kind of stress, and she refuses to be that lender.

Our Story

Tammi Lindley, founder of The Lindley Team
Tammi Lindley · Founder

The Lindley Team started with Tammi Lindley. She built the name the slow way — one straight conversation at a time, until half of Portland seemed to know someone she'd taken care of. She's recently retired, but she's the founder, and the standard is still hers.

The two people you'll actually work with now are David and Bri — Bri came up under Tammi more than a decade ago. Same standard, more horsepower behind it.

Why Movement

Short version: David and Bri didn't change — their toolbox got bigger. At Movement, more loan programs sit in-house instead of getting shopped out to a wholesale lender, which means quicker answers, more control when a file gets hairy, and room to sharpen your pricing.

Bigger company, deeper bench, same two people on your deal. It's also an Impact Lender — a slice of every loan goes back into the community. Not the reason you'd pick us. Just a nice thing to be able to say about where your loan came from.
