PROFESSIONAL PROFILE
Amit Z. Baruch
https://www.fairwayindependentmc.com/Amit-Z-Baruch
A simple Google search could find you hundreds of local, qualified mortgage professionals, but you’re looking for more than another professional. You need a friend, a leader, a protector, an experienced Sherpa. You need someone who will quickly and painlessly guide you from needing a mortgage to having the perfect solution for your needs. After all, this is going to be one of the largest and most complicated financial transactions of your life – why would you leave anything to chance? As a senior loan officer with nearly two decades of experience, Amit (pronounced ah-MEET) has seen every situation a client can have, and he’s found successful solutions for each of them.
Amit uses his knowledge, his communication expertise and his negotiation skills to turn the financial intricacies and business jargon into a process that feels simple and streamlined to his clients. The people of western Washington have embraced Amit, and he gives back to the community in many ways. Most visibly through his self-defense classes for law enforcement and real-estate professionals, his sexual-assault prevention classes for women and his safety-and-awareness classes for middle-school children. He also volunteers for Children’s Hospital of Seattle and other vital nonprofits, as well as several Realtor associations. When he’s not working as a senior loan officer at Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation or instructing a class, you can probably find him skiing, surfing, traveling or touring a local winery with his wife, Anita.
