More Than 20 Years of Experience in Home Loans
I started in the mortgage industry in 1996. At the time, I was performing data entry for one of the largest wholesale mortgage lenders in the country. In that role, I learned the ins and outs of lending disclosures and income documentation for borrowers.
That foundation helped me move into a new role as a very knowledgeable loan officer in 1999. I’ve loved every minute, and haven’t looked back since. As the markets have changed over the years, I have evolved with them, moving from the wholesale side of banking to the retail side.
In my current role as a mortgage broker, I get to work with customers directly—which is absolutely one of the most satisfying parts of my job.

My husband and I just purchased our first home last month! We were referred to Shannon by our close friend and I am so thankful she was our guide through this process. Shannon was positive and... personable from the moment we spoke. She alleviated our concerns over securing a loan by reassuring us EVERY step of the way that we were on track. She always responded promptly and kindly to my numerous calls and texts, and her confidence was the kind that only comes from someone with years of experience. But for those of you who aren't looking for hand-holding and just want to get the job done, Shannon works so QUICKLY! She and her team moved things forward in a streamlined manner and we were closing escrow in no time. This is EXTREMELY important in a city like Los Angeles where you have to move quickly on your dream home because there are always 20 other offers. I can't say enough good things about Shannon.

Shannon and team did a yeoman's job pulling my re-fi through in these challenging times. I had had another loan officer trying to work through the underwriters for months on end to little to no... avail. Then I engaged Shannon on a local reference, and she unlocked the key to the underwriters, whatever it was. My re-fi came through with a fantastic rate saving us a ton every month.read more

So two guys own a duplex together in LA and wanted to re-fi in 2020, but then both of these Canadians fled up north to escape COVID and wildfires, that immediately made the process international and... MUCH more complex. Luckily though, Shannon's patience, upbeat outlook and ingenuity totally got us through it all. She's the best - highly recommended.read more

We’ve worked with Shannon and her team twice and both experiences were stellar. The first was buying our first home and she walked us through the process and explained everything along the way to... help us get quickly up to speed. The second time we were going for a refi in maybe the most turbulent mortgage market ever as COVID hit. She guided us through all the hurdles and worked double time to satisfy all the lenders new requests. We got a rate a full percent lower. I can’t recommend this team highly enough.read more

Shannon Christenot is the most amazing lender we’ve ever had. As a matter of fact this is the second time we’ve used Shannon to do a mortgage with us. She held our hand every step of the way. She... made the whole process stress-free as well. And when we were coming down to the wire to finish our escrow within the 30 days she got us an extension Without even asking. Now we are locked into a very low rate. We’ve saved hundreds of dollars per month for the next 30 years. We cannot Thank Shannon enough. I would recommend Shanon to anyone thinking of buying a home or refinancing.read more

I always go back to Shannon because she is one of the best in the business! I've worked with Shannon over the years, however, she outdid herself in my last deal. She was so professional, caring... and effective that my clients were comparing everyone else in the deal to Shannon. More importantly, we were ready to fund in less than two weeks. Once again, Shannon affirmed my belief in her that she always rises to the occasion. Thank you for being the best!read more

Shannon just closed a SUPER hard deal for me when nobody else could! I too am in the lending industry however, the company that I work for didn't have the program or product that I needed to close... this loan. Knowing that Shannon does a lot of 'out of the box' financing, I decided to give her a shot. She not only got the loan approved and closed for me, but her service and attention to detail completely knocked it out of the park! Her 20 + years in the business SHOWS! I highly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, affordable lender to close their loan!read more
