Duane Lockett has served as a loan officer for 15 years, delivering expertise in residential mortgage loan origination. He brings his experience to our Seattle, Washington, branch, serving his current clients and inviting new business.
Mortgages involve a lot of complexity and detail, and Duane has grown his client base through his great listening skills, attention to detail, and a reputation for getting things done. A mortgage is a process, and Duane is skilled in pulling the many inputs together to get the desired output.
Specializing in residential loans, Duane has helped many first-time homebuyers to navigate the mortgage process. On the other end of the buyer experience spectrum, he works with real estate investors with complex and jumbo financing.
Graduating with a B.A. degree in economics from the University of Washington, Duane combines his education with 16 years of loan officer experience to deliver superior service to his clients.
Life isn’t all work, though. Duane has a variety of hobbies and interests. He's an avid sci-fi/fantasy reader, back-country skier, burgeoning Duck Dodger, and spicy food connoisseur. However, those interests have taken a back seat lately to his new dad duties. He now enjoys playing peek-a-boo, counting from 1-10, bath time, and changing diapers with his 2 young boys.
