Andrew Usher

I’m Andrew, a loan officer in the mortgage business since 1998, based in Portland, Oregon. I originate loans across Oregon, Washington, and California, and I’m licensed in all three states.

Before mortgages, I spent my days as a wrangler and pack trip guide at dude ranches around Yellowstone and Jackson Hole. That job taught me how to stay calm when plans change, how to read a situation before it becomes a problem, and how to get people safely where they’re headed. A home loan has a lot in common with a long ride through unfamiliar country. Most people haven’t done it much, and they want someone alongside them who knows the trail.

Because ZYNG Mortgage is a broker, I’m not tied to a single lender. I can look across a wide range of options and find the loan that fits your life, instead of asking you to fit a product. I explain things plainly, answer my phone, and keep you in the loop from application to closing.

Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, renovating, or looking at a reverse mortgage to make retirement more comfortable, my goal is that you feel informed and confident at every step. I work with conventional and jumbo loans, FHA, VA, and renovation financing, and reverse mortgages for retirement planning, so the financing fits where you are in life.

Most of my business comes from referrals from partners and past clients. I don’t take that lightly. When someone trusts you with their people, you want to get it right.

Outside of work, I’m a dad, and that’s where most of my free time goes.
