Opes Advisors was founded by three leaders in their respective industries:
Susan McHanMortgage industry leader.
Mark DuvallChartered Financial Analyst and wealth management
expert.
In 2004, these pioneers recognized a number of key shifts in the real estate purchase and sale industry. Responding to these trends, they designed a company to better serve buyers and sellers.
Driven by innovative entrepreneurs.
Jonathan LeeTechnology entrepreneur and a
pioneer in cloud computing.
We are living longer. That’s great, but means we must finance longer retirements.
Traditional retirement strategies with guaranteed lifetime payments are a thing of the past. We are now more responsible for funding our own retirement.
Real estate purchases and sales are typically among the most significant financial decisions we make in our lives, yet most people go through these without any financial planning advice.
Opes Advisors has developed the first Real Estate Decision Technology to fuse wealth ser-vices with mortgage lending services. This unique approach provides clients with a personal financial model that empowers more effective life decisions, such as buying a home.
What makes Opes different?
When it comes to signing on with a new lender that claims to meet both your career needs and the needs of your clients, you have a variety of choices. But only Opes gives you the unique advantage of proven Real Estate Decision Technology and the support of asset management services to provide a better real estate financing experience, one that has their future personal goals in mind.
A client was considering how to downsize. Together, we modeled a variety of scenarios and settled on her buying a smaller replacement home that enhanced her overall net wealth. Afterwards, the Realtor® shared his appreciation of how we took care of his client. As a result, we have a tremendously closer referral relationship!Ann Timoney | Mortgage Advisor | Los Gatos, CA Erin Whalen | Wealth Advisor | Cupertino, CA”
