With more than 25 years of career experience in real estate mortgage lending, Scottsdale-based Shane Christopher serves as a Mortgage Loan Officer with Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation. There, he is renowned—and respected—for a hometown attitude of service with a smile and treating clients like family.

Shane notes: “Exceeding my clients’ expectations—both Realtor Partners and Borrowers—gives me pure satisfaction for the work that went into the loan and knowing we got to the finish line. Setting up clear expectations for clients and co-workers is essential to making the process stress-free.”

He was previously a Notary Public with Dean Notaries of Arizona, closing loans for the likes of Chase, Wells Fargo, Quicken Loans, Northstar, Flagstar and Peoples Mortgage—closing as many as 11 loans a day. That experience inspired Shane to pursue his current career as a Loan Officer, given his combined expertise in sales, service and the mortgage loan closing process.

Previous career stops include a Sales Consultancy role with CenturyLink, where Shane oversaw communications for both residential and home office businesses, including telephone, wireless, high speed Internet and DirecTV. He also managed the schedules and workloads for business and residential telephone communication product installation & repair technicians in 14 states.

He also worked as a Sales Associate for Allegra Marketing, Print & Mail-Rolling, managing the company’s client base for printing & marketing, including consult from start to finish, advice, upselling and managing vendors.

Shane earned a degree in Business Administration & Management from Phoenix College, and completed certification and licensing courses at the Arizona School of Real Estate and Business. Shane is a registered Notary Public, a licensed Loan Originator, holds an NMLS and is certified as a 2012 Home in 5 Advantage Mortgage Officer.

His personal interests include hiking, meditation, nature, traveling, culture and enjoying the simple things in life. He also maintains passion for civil rights & social action, animal welfare, arts & culture, the environment and education. His personal mantra is: “Yes We Can.”
