Meet Amanda LaRussa
A San Diego-based mortgage broker who believes getting a loan should feel calm, clear, and genuinely in your corner.
My story
I'm a San Diego-based mortgage broker and a mom of three — ages 18, 15, and 11. We moved here from Arizona, and putting down roots in a new community taught me how much the right guidance matters when you're making one of life's biggest financial decisions.
That belief in community shows up in how I work. Each month I host a Coffee & Donut neighborhood gathering on the first Monday — a relaxed way to connect with neighbors, answer questions, and talk through whatever's on your mind, no pressure and no sales pitch.
How I work
My approach is calm, patient, transparent, and educational — with the systems in place to keep your loan moving smoothly. I'll never rush you or talk over your head. My job is to explain your options in plain language so you can make a confident decision.
Why work with a broker?
As an independent broker, I shop your loan across many lenders instead of offering a single bank's products. Working remotely keeps my overhead — and your fees — low. The result is more options, competitive pricing, and a process that's built around you.
