Who Are Dean & Shanna Tucker?

When It Comes to VA Home Loans, We Are the Special Forces of the Mortgage Industry.
We both come from career military families and we each have more than 20 years of experience working with VA Home Loans and Military families.
We are committed to providing you with real answers, reliable loan approvals, quick closings, low fees and great rates. We will help you navigate the VA paperwork so that you can avoid gotchas, bumps and unnecessary delays. We understand the military and are committed to providing the American Dream for our American Heroes.
When you work with our team you won’t be put into a phone queue only to re‐explain your situation every time you call. We are real live people who want to get you real answers quickly (unless it’s the middle of the night, then we are probably sleeping because we aren’t a giant sales center… and that’s a good thing). We are small, but mighty.
Our heart is in the Pacific Northwest… it’s where we live, work and play. We specialize in helping Veterans in Idaho, Oregon and Washington.
