Bill Lewis, Choice One MortgageOk, ok – this shot is a little dated. That’s me circa 2010 and now I am a little older and grayer – but oh so much wiser!

My amazing wife Judi and I have been married for over 28 years. Judi is also an expert in Real Estate and Mortgage Finance and together we make a formidable team. We have a wonderful daughter named Savannah who is currently getting her PhD at Stanford University. We are truly blessed!

Having been through the highs and lows of the mortgage industry since 1995, I can tell you it’s been a wild ride. But the industry is a better place for honest pros like us who built their business by doing what’s right for people. I like to think I have a little George Bailey in me – well at least I try to!

“Helping people find and afford their dream home is an amazing thing. I consider it an honor when families put their trust in me, and I will not let them down!”
