About Blake
Born and raised in Portland, I’ve called the Pacific Northwest home my whole life. I know this region, its neighborhoods, and the people who make it special, and I love helping my neighbors put down roots of their own.
As a mortgage loan originator with Barrett Financial Group, I’m proud to be part of I’m proud to be part of one of Barrett Financial Group’s leading teams for funded loan volume in 2026. I specialize in guiding first-time home buyers through every step of the process, making what can feel overwhelming simple, clear, and even exciting. I also work with self-employed borrowers and clients whose finances don’t fit a traditional mold. If your income is unconventional, I have access to non-QM loan programs designed to look at the full picture, not just a checklist.
My approach is straightforward: listen first, explain everything in plain language, and find the loan that truly fits your life and goals.
When I’m not helping clients get the keys to their new home, you’ll find me on the basketball court, out on the golf course, or cheering on the Ducks. Go Ducks!

Adam · Portland, OR Blake was great to work with and I couldn’t have been more pleased with his service. He diligently answered my questions, of which there were a lot, or sought out answers to make sure I understood every step of the loan process. Blake also saved me a significant amount of cost over the life of my loan by keeping me up to date on rates as I approached closing and advised me of the risks of waiting vs locking in my rate in advance. Ultimately, I was able to lock in my rate at the floor (comparing to the year prior) and avoid an almost full percentage increase less than a week later. I would highly recommend Blake and will be working with him again on any future loans.
Matthew Working with Blake was seamless and precise. His communication made the process clear and helped keep it all on track. Fully plan on working with him at any future opportunity and highly recommend the same to anyone looking for a mortgage professional to guide them.
