Olson Mortgage Group at Eureka Mortgage Planning
Calm expertise for
complex financing.
For 35 years, I have guided buyers, builders, and agents through the moments that matter most. Construction development, remote closings, and the kind of steady counsel that turns a stressful transaction into a confident one.
"Serving my client and agent partners."
That is not a tagline. It is the principle behind every transaction, every conversation, every late-night closing in 35 years of lending.
The experienced hand behind complex deals.
Most lenders push clients toward the simplest conventional product. After 35 years of originating loans, I handle the scenarios that require real expertise: construction development loans, FHA, VA, HELOC, DSCR, remote closings, and unique property issues that stop other lenders cold.
For builders and developers, I support both horizontal construction and vertical construction with a deep understanding of draw schedules and phased financing. Whether you are a first-time buyer in Tualatin or a family building a custom home in Lake Oswego, you get a loan officer who has seen it before and knows how to navigate it.

Serving the greater Portland metro, from Lake Oswego luxury to Oregon City heritage.
When the deal has moving parts.
People reach out when they need more than a rate quote. These are the moments where 35 years of pattern recognition becomes the difference between a smooth close and a stressful one.
Building or buying a non-standard home
New construction, unique properties, or features that scare off average lenders. Horizontal and vertical construction loans, draws, earnest-money timing.
Major life transitions
Fresh starts, right-sizing after kids leave home, divorce, or relocating. Clients need both financing options and steady advice through big decisions.
Home equity & debt restructuring
HELOC, cash-out refinance, or home-equity strategies tied to improvements, consolidation, or investment opportunities.
Investment properties & DSCR loans
Occupancy-intent situations, rental properties, and multi-property portfolios. Understanding the rules and the risk is what experience delivers.
Remote & split-location closings
One spouse overseas, one at home. UWM virtual close turns what used to be a logistical nightmare into a seamless, professional signing experience.
Realtor-driven & time-sensitive deals
When the financing looks complicated, the timeline is tight, or agents need someone who stays tightly coordinated with the rest of the transaction.
"Travis did not just get our loan done. He made a complicated, high-pressure situation feel manageable."
We were buying while one of us was working overseas and the other was still in Oregon. Most lenders either said it could not be done cleanly or made the process feel like a series of obstacles. Travis was different from the first conversation.
He explained every step clearly, stayed ahead of issues before they became problems, and coordinated tightly with our realtor so we never felt like we were chasing updates.

What 35 Years of Traditional Mortgage Lending Taught Me About Financing New Construction
Most people think a construction loan is just a regular mortgage with a longer timeline. After three and a half decades in the business, I have learned it is a completely different animal. Here is what experience teaches you about draws, underwriting, and keeping a build on track.
