Hi, I’m Kara Kelley! You’re probably reading this because you’re interested in some type of home loan and you clicked on my blog post! I want to share with you why I do what I do- my why for getting up in the morning. It all starts with a desire for a sense of belonging- for me and for my family- something all of us long for. Which, if you’re looking to put roots down and buy a home, you can most likely identify with that.
My husband and I had a desire to care for vulnerable children in need of a place to belong. So we started doing foster care in Kitsap County- where there is a huge need for nurturing and stable families to provide care to children and youth. On our journey, we ended up adopting 4 of the kids who came into our care and now they are part of our forever family. This was a long journey with many points of heartbreak. We could not have made it through without the support from our foster care agency out of Port Orchard, Community & Family Services Foundation.
The agency’s level of support to families taking in abused and neglected children was crucial to our children’s as well as our family’s success. Community and Family Services (CFSF) licenses and supports foster families all over the state of Washington to provide care for children age birth to 21 who might be typically developing, have high needs, are at risk, developmentally disabled, medically fragile or pregnant and parenting teens, among other needs. Their well-trained staff offers training to parents to support the placements of the children in their care- ranging from short to long term.
I have the privilege of linking my passion for foster and adoptive families to be supported with what I do in the mortgage industry. How does this relate and how does it benefit you? For every loan closed with me at Evergreen Home Loans, I have dedicated to donate $300 to Community and Family Services Foundation. I believe it is a symbol of hope and solidarity for families who strive to provide a place of belonging for vulnerable children and youth. When you choose me as your loan officer, you are partnering with me on that support!
Moreover, my skills in advocating for the needs of children in my care translates over to
my role as a mortgage lender. That same persistence, education, and empathy are what I strive to bring all of my clients. I am a strategic problem-solver, ensuring you’re your individual needs and goals are at the forefront. With me as your loan officer, you can trust that you are not just securing a loan but also gaining a dedicated ally who will go above and beyond to ensure YOUR financial well-being and peace of mind.
