Direct Mortgage Funding
Helping Clients Achieve Their Dreams
Lynn Day, a Senior Loan Officer and Branch Manager of Direct Mortgage Funding, has been helping clients achieve their dreams for over two decades. Based in Nevada (licensed in NV, CA, and AZ), Lynn and her team pride themselves on their personal approach to lending, making sure that each client feels heard and understood.
Lynn's journey in the mortgage industry began when she moved to Nevada in 2001 and started working for a real estate company. While there, she worked closely with an in-house lender and asked her to teach her the trade. "Mortgages became a passion," Lynn said, "they’re ever-changing and evolving. There's so much to learn. I am never stagnant, even after 20 years."
When asked about her work in the industry, Lynn stated, "It's all about helping people in this industry, I feel like I get to help so many people, and sometimes it takes months and years to help them get their dreams, but with determination, we get there!" This passion for helping others is evident in the way Lynn and her team work with clients - Loan Officer, Kyle Day (also Lynn’s son), and Jennifer Hulet, their Processor who has been with Lynn for 3 years.
Lynn credits her work ethic and problem-solving skills as key factors in her development through her company, career, and industry. However, what truly sets Lynn and Direct Mortgage Funding (DMF) apart from similar businesses is their commitment to communication and education. "People never feel like they're in the dark when they are working with us," Lynn explained. "We try to make sure that people understand every possible option to make the choice that's right for them."
The team at DMF also specializes in hard loans, often referred to as rescue loans, that other lenders struggle to put together. With over 50 years of combined experience, Lynn and her team are dedicated to finding creative solutions to help clients achieve their goals.
Day’s team’s motto is "Make it happen," and "Don't wish for it, work for it." These principles are ingrained in the way Lynn and her team approach their work, putting in the effort to ensure that their clients' dreams become a reality.
Beyond her work, Lynn is also a devoted family woman. She has been married for four years to Brent Jones (her favorite appraiser who is well respected in the community), has two children of her own (Kyle and Carli), and four stepchildren (Nick, Sydney, Katie, and Michael). Lynn's family enjoys golfing and traveling together and has two shih tzu’s named Toby and Roxy. Lynn also loves cooking for her family, her passion for food started when she worked as a chef as a teenager.
For Lynn, compassion is essential in her work. "Realizing that everybody is different, everybody has a story, and realizing that there's a way to help everybody with feeling compassion - whether it's compassion for their specific situation, compassion for their needs, their dreams - without compassion, it's a cold world," she says.
Lynn's commitment to her clients, her family, and her passion for lending has allowed her to build a successful business that helps people achieve their dreams. As she says, "Even in the hard years, every year gets better. We help more people, and that's what it's all about."
