Vantage celebrates 14 years in business

van-tage (n);  a position giving a strategic advantage, commanding perspective, or comprehensive view

It was the summer of 2007.  The mortgage industry was going through a reckless lending period and our leadership knew it could be done better.  Integrity and ethics were a prerequisite many seemed to forget in the primary mortgage market, which continues today.  Going against the grain, Vantage Mortgage Group went ‘all-in’ before, during, and now after the 2008 financial crisis creating national influence by doing what seemed impossible now continuing to thrive 14 years later.  The leadership team supported wholesale lending when most others fled, who were manipulated by lenders to work for them versus working directly for the consumer.  Clearly, this was fueled by special interests and creates a direct conflict of interest.  Vantage has become one of the top independent brokerage and true fiduciaries in the country (serving Oregon and Washington exclusively).  All original and newer VMG team members are extremely grateful for the loyal clients, business partners, and ongoing referrals.  They appreciate those that understand the value in what VMG offers, embracing facts and math only when making important financial decisions.  The team is excited to continue on this journey together!

About Vantage Mortgage Group, Inc.

Established in 2007, Vantage Mortgage Group is one of the only independent mortgage firms in the Pacific Northwest today (serving Oregon and Washington consumers).  Locally owned and operated in Lake Oswego, Oregon, Vantage has become a nationally recognized company from the impact made within the industry and unique consumer-focused platform.  As many can imagine, the regulatory environment has greatly changed in the mortgage and housing industry in recent years.  As a result, awareness and adaption on consumer impact must control the vision of a mortgage company now and in the future through collecting data and facts over all else.  Vantage Mortgage Group has embraced these changes with their vision and experience and relies on their clients’ positive feedback and price advantage to produce more referrals.  They align their clients in the best position they see possible which is as a true mortgage broker without steering to one lender or corporate special interests.  Because of this, Vantage persistently educates consumers and colleagues on understanding the indisputable math and data around mortgage operations rather than the hard sales pressure that many consumers and others receive in the primary mortgage marketplace.

“Our main objective is to educate consumers on how residential mortgage financing works in the United States. We do not have salespeople, we have mortgage professionals that persistently educate our clients. We embrace only math and facts rather than sales terms and strategies. We rely on indisputable data to attract those that wish to be in a better financial position with their mortgage liability. When it comes to math, combined with our reputation, our position is also indisputable. We are the only channel in the primary mortgage market that works exclusively for our clients. The more educated the consumer, the greater chance they will become a Vantage client when comparing mortgage providers.”

“Obtaining a new loan for the purchase or refinance of a home is a very important financial decision. We have created a smooth, informative, and stress-free loan processing system we have found to best suit whatever lending climate we are facing. We believe that every client requires our full attention so that no details are missed and loan options are specifically customized for each borrower. Positive client reviews is our driving motivation.”

“Low overhead, effective systems, and heightened industry-related education requirements allows our clients the ability to experience more qualified representation at a lower cost.”

– Andy W. Harris, President
