One of the sure signs that you are pursuing the right path in life is when the work you carry out each day doesn’t really feel like work at all. Sure, there are challenging days and short nights, but as one of the top-producing agents in the region, you carry out your efforts on behalf of others — dedicating your experience and expertise to their cause. That’s why it means so much when you are able to partner with someone who shares your selfless approach.

 

That’s exactly what you can expect when you work with Mortgage Loan Originator Erica Dose and U.S. Bank.

 

“I really like to help homebuyers realize their dreams of homeownership,” Erica says. “As part of that, I enjoy educating them on their financing options, and making sure that they fully understand the mortgage they’re getting into.”

 

Erica got an early start in the mortgage business, beginning soon after her schooling was complete.

 

“I got into the business right out of college,” she says. “I wanted to go into real estate, but my mom told me I needed a job with benefits. So I started on the mortgage side, and I’ve been doing it now for 20 years. I love what I do.”

 

Erica grew up and went to college in Wisconsin. For the first 10 years of her mortgage career, she worked in Wisconsin, before she moved with her family to California and continued her career here in 2013. She has enjoyed being part of the U.S. Bank team for the last four and a half years.

 

Those who work with Erica never have to guess whether or not she is engaged in their plans and dreams. She is continually engaged with them.

 

“I love bringing a very personal touch to my work,” she points out. “I really enjoy meeting with and getting to know my partners and clients, either face-to-face or through a video call. For me, these are not just transactions. They are a chance to help people move forward to the next place in life.”

 

One of the most rewarding parts of Erica’s work is the fact that she gets to share the same path in life and business with her husband, Troy.

 

“My husband just joined me in the business. He has an extensive construction background. We will be working together and building our business as The Dose Team,” Erica says. “It’s something we’re both very happy and excited about.”

 

Away from work, Erica’s world is made truly fulfilling by the time she enjoys with her family. She and Troy have two children, 17-year-old Jayden and 15-year-old Tysen. They are also happy to be hosting an international exchange student, JJ, who is 16 years old and will be with them over the next couple of years. All three attend Santa Margarita Catholic High School.

 

“We are a close family. We have a family dinner every night and we travel as a family,” she says. “We enjoy being able to grow together.”

 

In their free time, Erica and her family have a strong love for football. Jayden and JJ compete for their high school team. They also are big fans of the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin Badgers. Other favorite pursuits include skiing and playing golf. In addition, Erica loves staying involved in the community that she and her family love, staying engaged and giving back.

 

Erica’s drive to help her clients achieve their goals is centered on her willingness to be there for them with a strong sense of open communication when they have questions. She also brings her extensive knowledge to those around her in a timely and resilient way.

 

“I’m going to deliver what I say I’m going to deliver,” she says. “This is a business that I can do forever. I like the aspect of building a business that will continue forward for years to come. In the process, it feels very good helping people get into their homes.”
