Glenn Leach  GLENN LEACH, Cobalt Mortgage, Puyallup

Glenn’s House Key bio is best expressed with stories of real people: Janna cried when Glenn told her the loan had closed and the house was hers. She had lived a hard life of poverty, poor choices, and unlucky breaks. Discouraged, unemployed, poor credit, raising a child with a severe developmental disability, she longed for a better life and owning a home someday. She came to one of my homebuyer classes and learned about House Key and what she needed to do to qualify for a loan. Inspired and determined, she got a job, worked on her credit, and saved her money. It took awhile, but combining her hard work with House Key and 4 different down payment assistance programs, her homeownership dream became reality, and the tears flowed. People have asked Glenn why he is so dedicated to working with many low-income, disabled, Section 8, and credit-challenged borrowers. His answer: “These programs don’t just help people buy houses – these programs can literally change people’s lives. I love being a part of that!” Contact Glenn at 253-268-1089 or glenn.leach@cobaltmortgage.com.
