About Me

I’m Jaime Lara — California born and raised in West Torrance, and a proud graduate of West High. After high school, I played Division I men’s 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. No two clients share the same goals or circumstances, which is why every lending plan I create is built intentionally around you. 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. Home means a great deal to me — not just as a place you live, but as the foundation your life is built on. It’s why I approach this work with a tremendous sense of responsibility.

Whether you’re buying your first place, moving up, or refinancing, I’ll make sure each step feels manageable and understood — so you feel taken care of from start to finish
