OREGON CITY, OR — September 2026: Freestone Mortgage is proud to announce that Becky Chambers, Mortgage Broker, NMLS #2814018, has joined the company with a clear mission: help more clients understand the mortgage and home equity options available to them, particularly those approaching or living in retirement.

Chambers was initially drawn to Freestone because of the opportunity she saw in the reverse mortgage space. Too often, she believes homeowners age 55 and older are never introduced to financial tools that could meaningfully change the way they approach retirement.

“I joined Freestone specifically because I wanted to help people learn about and obtain reverse mortgages,” Chambers said. “As I learned more about the industry and everything Freestone offers, I became excited about being able to help clients with so much more—from home equity products and vacation homes to traditional mortgages and commercial properties.”

For Chambers, joining Freestone means having more ways to solve problems instead of being limited to a narrow set of products or a one-size-fits-all approach.

Closing the Education Gap for Clients 55+

One of the biggest opportunities Chambers sees in the mortgage industry is better education, particularly for homeowners nearing retirement.

“I think one area many loan officers could improve is educating the 55+ and retirement-focused demographic about the products that are actually available to them,” Chambers said. “I am hoping to help close that gap.”

At Freestone, that philosophy closely aligns with the company’s broader approach to retirement lending: helping clients understand how housing wealth may fit alongside their other financial resources rather than treating the mortgage as an isolated transaction.

The goal is not simply to present a loan product. It is to help clients understand their choices so they can make informed decisions based on their individual goals, lifestyle and financial circumstances.

More Options, Better Client Conversations

Chambers’ move to Freestone also expands the range of solutions she can bring to her clients and referral partners.

“I want to make sure my clients are well taken care of from start to finish and that their loan process is as smooth, quick and stress-free as possible,” she said. “I am also passionate about finding the right loan and payment options for each client, and joining Freestone gives me more opportunities to do that.”

Freestone operates as a mortgage broker with access to a wide range of lending solutions, giving its mortgage professionals greater flexibility when evaluating a client’s needs.

That breadth of options is an important part of the company’s recruiting philosophy as well. Freestone is building a platform for mortgage professionals who want to move beyond simply taking applications and instead become trusted advisors capable of solving a broader range of client challenges.

Data-Driven Tools With Heart-Led Service

Technology was another important factor in Chambers’ decision to join Freestone, but not because she believes technology should replace personal service.

Quite the opposite.

“I work best with data-driven tools and heart-led service,” Chambers said. “My favorite mortgage experiences have been with professionals who made me feel like they were truly on my side and who were always prepared with options. That is how I want to model my own business.”

Freestone’s approach combines technology, automation and data with a highly personal advisory model designed to give mortgage professionals more information while creating more time to focus on the people they serve.

For Chambers, that balance creates the kind of client experience she wants to provide: informed, prepared and personal.

A Culture Built Around Solving Problems

Beyond products and technology, Chambers says the culture at Freestone immediately stood out.

“Freestone starts every day with a smile and a positive message, and the team stays focused on solving problems for clients while providing full support to its mortgage professionals,” she said. “I really appreciate the client-first approach.”

That support is intentional.

Freestone provides its mortgage professionals with access to diverse lending products, technology, marketing resources, business development strategies, education and operational support designed to help them spend more time advising clients and building relationships.

“Becky represents exactly the type of mortgage professional we are building Freestone for,” said Riley Anderson, Founder of Freestone Mortgage. “She wants to educate people, understand what they are trying to accomplish and then find the right solution for them. Our job is to make sure she has the products, tools, technology and support to do that at the highest possible level.”

Building a Different Kind of Mortgage Career

For mortgage professionals considering their next move, Chambers’ decision reflects a larger shift in what loan officers are looking for from their companies.

Competitive products matter. Technology matters. Marketing matters.

But so does having the freedom and support to build a business around the way an individual loan officer serves clients best.

Freestone’s model is designed for mortgage professionals who want to broaden their expertise, develop new referral relationships, serve more types of borrowers and build a business that is not dependent on a single product or market cycle. "We are building for the future and creating a platform for Loan Officers to excel as money lenders" says Riley Anderson, Owner and Senior Loan Officer with Freestone Mortgage.

For Chambers, that means starting with reverse mortgage education while having the ability to grow far beyond it.

Her move to Freestone represents exactly what the company hopes to provide its mortgage professionals: more ways to help clients, more resources to grow their businesses and a team invested in helping them succeed.
