A pilot by trade, in 1999, Bob had an idea about creating a network of real estate agents who would serve as cultural contacts for LDS church members around the country. This idea became “LDSAgents.com,” an Internet-based service that connects clients with more than 3000 real estate professionals around the country.
In addition to the many LDS agents associated with LDSAgents.com, the company has hundreds of non-LDS agents on its database, and this has worked out great in areas where there are few LDS members. LDSAgents.com advertises on BYU-TV and in other venues commonly seen by church members. The company has assisted nearly 5000 clients in the last ten years.
Bob is a very people-oriented person who makes a conscious effort to employ gospel principles in his relationships with the many people he meets in the course of business. He works himself nearly to death every day talking to clients and agents, and managing referrals around the country and in Canada. He is married to Carol Lavender, a native Texan, and they are the parents of four children.
Bryan has spent the past 30 years in the lending industry. During that time he has been a Financial Analyst, Loan Underwriter, managed banks, served as a legal representative for two of the nations largest banks, in-house lender for a large real estate company, Loan Operations Manager and most recently President of a multi-state mortgage corporation. Through it all he says that one of the things he likes best is to work directly with clients to help them find the best possible financing for their home.
