Brandon Haefele

Brandon launched Sacramento-based Catalyst Mortgage in 2005, with a vision of offering a truthful, transparent, client-advocate approach to mortgage lending. His clients report that they have experienced lower closing costs and received more accurate information about their specific lending needs from Catalyst Mortgage than they received from other lenders.

Since 2015, Brandon has served his profession as a board member of the California Mortgage Bankers Association, the leading statewide advocate for fair and ethical lending practices in the finance industry through educational programs, services and industry engagement.

Brandon is a highly sought resource for mortgage expertise on breaking news stories and has been featured in live interviews on Fox 40, ABC 10 and KCRA 3 among other media. He is a weekly contributor to a mortgage feature segment on KFBK radio discussing mortgage news. His perspective on the mortgage industry and real estate market has been sourced on topics ranging from taking advantage of lower interest rates to home mortgage refinancing to legislative policies impacting consumer home loans. His primary focus is on the consumer’s bottom line; analyzing often complex public policy and market trends to highlight how the information impacts the borrower.

Brandon resides in Sacramento, California.
