A seasoned loan officer with four years of experience in the mortgage industry, Ryan Van Auken is deeply dedicated to his career. He entered the field after working in commercial lending, where he learned how to build his own book of business through self-generated relationships. This experience taught him resilience and persistence — qualities that would serve him well in his new career.
Van Auken sought a more scalable profession where he could have a direct impact on his clients’ lives. He now finds purpose in helping individuals navigate one of the biggest decisions they will make —buying a home. The joy of closing deals, especially with first-time homebuyers, has been a driving force in his career.
Van Auken’s business approach revolves around building genuine relationships. His clients appreciate his transparent, patient and highly communicative nature. Rather than treating each transaction as a mere deal, he aims to create lasting friendships. His commitment to availability sets him apart, as he proactively stays in touch with clients throughout the mortgage process, ensuring they are well-informed at every step. This personalized approach has earned him a stellar reputation, with many clients reaching out to him directly after seeing his many five-star reviews on Zillow.
His professional success is evident in his recent achievements, including making the President’s Club for the second consecutive year and being named a Top Originator by both Scotsman Guide and Mortgage Executive Magazine last year. Van Auken’s business is built entirely on referrals, a testament to the trust he cultivates with clients and networking partners alike.
Outside of work, Van Auken is an active member of his church community. He enjoys golf and spending time with his wife and daughter. He looks forward to the future, grateful for every opportunity to serve his community and clients in his career as a loan officer.
