For over 20 years Alysha's focus in life and business has been sharing her talents to empower others and help them attain their goals.

Starting in the Financial Industry at the age of 17, she quickly gained a passion for all things related to monetary strategies. Playing with numbers all the time, she explored cause and effect, budgets, compounding interest, costs, gains, and more. Although she has been involved in Real Estate, Business, and Finance for over 20 years, when she specifically entered the Mortgage Industry only seven years ago, it was like she found the next level of her passion began so many years prior.

Becoming a mortgage professional for Alysha was first about being able to be a mom. The career change provided the opportunity to provide extras in life for her family and still be able to show up in their life daily.

She continues to combine the pursuit of excellence with the desire to share her knowledge with those around her and help them rise. She is the perfect example of someone in the position to serve with the right heart and intention. Every year she has grown and surpassed new levels both personally and professionally. She is deeply connected to her communities, her family, and her faith.

Alysha is also passionate about helping women - wives and mothers - succeed in rewarding careers without giving up the desire to be present for those they love, and to show one truly can have it all.

For Kim, being a Woman with Vision is two-fold: having passion and continued learning. She is passionate about process efficiency, technology, customer experience, and constant investment in knowledge. She talks about these topics at every opportunity!

Like many in the industry, Kim thinks modernization is overdue. The term is used frequently, but she doubts many think the industry delivers a modern experience. It costs approximately $11,000 to originate a loan, on average. It still takes 45 days, is sequential in nature, hyper manual, difficult to scale, and prone to errors.

Kim wants to see mortgage approval take less time than at present. She is focused on seeing this as an end goal for the mortgage industry. Kim’s former and most-admired boss once told her, “if you aim for the moon, at least you’ll get your tail off the ground.” Kimberly is excited about the future, seeing a lower approval time, and believes leveraging technology can make this a reality.

Her vision is to see a fully automated mortgage loan process. Buyers are focused on the joy of homeownership; the industry can make this a reality.

Kim’s other passion is learning and the importance of continued education to serve clients. Kim’s vision for women in the industry is a bit baffling due to the current state of the industry. She said it feels worse than the subprime meltdown, with the number of displaced people and, the loss of opportunity. Unsure of what the industry will look like regarding size and opportunity is unknown, but knowing the industry provides a great service to the overall economy, she is certain this will pass. When it does, Kim hopes the industry is at a point where women know no bounds! It won’t be about male or female it will be about impact. It’s up to women to find their voice, be fearless, and take the position at the head of the table. Power is taken, it’s not given, and it’s time more women take it. The quote from Joan of Arc hangs in Kim's office. She says of it, "If I had a tattoo, it would say this! I often find myself enveloped in the negative brain swirl of “what if” stating this brings me back to the reality of the moment." Kim is thankful to be part of this industry and able to make a difference in many people’s lives. “It’s beyond words, and what a privilege it is to be a Mortgage Banker.”
