Kurtis Kooiman brings over 30 years of experience in real estate and lending, having successfully navigated every kind of market—good, bad, and everything in between. That depth of experience shapes both his professional insight and real-world approach. Kurtis specializes in residential lending, helping buyers, homeowners, and investors with purchases and refinances.
With the ability to lend nationwide, he offers a true one-stop-shop experience as a Loan Advisor and Financial Counselor. He takes pride in not being your average Loan Officer—or, as he calls them, “order takers.” He’s deeply invested in each client’s success and brings thoughtful guidance to every conversation. In 2010, Kurtis trained directly with Dave Ramsey and became a Financial Counselor through Financial Peace University. That experience reshaped how he serves clients—going beyond rate quotes to deliver strategy-first advice. His recommendations are always tailored to each client’s goals, timelines, and habits. “I’ll tell you what you need to hear—not just what you want to hear,” he says. “Smart decisions only happen when you have the full picture.” His communication style is direct, honest, and rooted in long-term thinking. He works well with clients from all financial backgrounds, helping them feel confident every step of the way.
Kurtis was born and raised in Southern California and now lives in Orange County. He’s a full-time, single dad to two kids—Kooper (13) and Kenna (12)—and considers being a father his most important role. The best parts of his day are cheering Kooper on at baseball games and Kenna at soccer matches. At home, he enjoys cooking for them most nights, a skill he sharpened during the COVID lockdowns. He’s passionate about parenthood, professional TV watching, and financial education.
Whether working with a first-time buyer or seasoned investor, Kurtis shows up as a partner—not a salesman—and always puts long-term goals first, with his clients' success in mind.
