Paul W Thompson - Background on BrightFuse

About Me

Top sales producer for the largest mortgage originator in the country, Wells Fargo Home Mortgage. I am a strong advocate for first-time home buyers and am really pushing the unconventional products such as FHA, VA, and Rural Housing Guarantee. I have developed staff over the years and have recruited personnel with no prior lending experience, trained and developed them into successful mortgage professionals who have gone on to become extremely successful.
I am a Toastmasters member, member of the Vancouver Chamber of Commerce, and also coach youth sports at the recreation level.

What makes me unique is my burning desire to help those who otherwise were not helped by others or were unable to be helped by others.

I have an extremely high work ethic with excellent morals, values, and customer service achievements.
