About Me

I’m Jaime Lara — California born, raised in West Torrance, and a proud graduate of West High. After high school, I played soccer at Oregon State and had the chance to live and compete in Germany and Ecuador. Those experiences shaped more than my athletic career — they taught me how to adapt quickly, work with people from all walks of life, and show up prepared in any environment.

Today, I bring that same mindset to my work as a mortgage broker. I’m not here to push cookie-cutter loans; I’m here to design a plan that works for your situation, timeline, and goals. Being a broker means I’m not tied to one bank — I shop multiple lenders to find the best fit, and I keep the process straightforward so you’re never left guessing what comes next.

I’m also a father and a neighbor here in the South Bay. This is where I’m raising my family, where I know the streets, the schools, the parks, and the people. I take pride in this community because I’ve seen firsthand how much a home can mean — it’s more than walls and a roof, it’s the place where your life happens. It’s where your kids take their first steps, where neighbors become friends, and where you feel rooted. Helping my clients find that kind of home is personal to me, because I know what it’s like to have one.

Whether you’re buying your first place, upgrading, or refinancing, I’ll walk you through it step by step so you can focus on the exciting part — getting those keys.
