Origin Point
A curated network of financial and professional resources that may support buyers, sellers, investors, and homeowners across Greater Seattle and the Eastside.
Cindy Kelly's Professional Resource Network
Buying, selling, owning, or investing in real estate can involve professionals beyond the real estate agent. Depending on the situation, a client may want to speak with a lender, accountant, financial advisor, exchange professional, or attorney.
Cindy Kelly & Associates has compiled this Greater Seattle and Eastside resource network as a practical starting point for clients who need an additional professional connection during or beyond a real estate transaction.
Each profession serves a different purpose. Browse the categories below, then contact the professional directly to confirm current availability and whether their services fit your individual needs.
Home Financing Resources
A mortgage or loan professional can be a useful resource when a buyer wants to understand the financing process, required documentation, available pathways, or next steps for a particular purchase.
Origin Point
TOMO Home Loans
City National Bank
Absolute Mortgage
Directors Mortgage
Buyers often start by sharing their home-search goals, preferred property type, expected timing, and broader financing questions so a lender can explain its own process.
A condominium, detached home, investment property, or other property type may lead to different financing questions. A lender can explain how its programs and process apply to a particular purchase.
Financial Professionals
Real estate can intersect with a client's broader financial picture. Cindy's directory includes accounting, financial planning, and business payment-service contacts for clients who need conversations outside the scope of real estate representation.

ACCPC
An accountant and a financial advisor serve different roles. If you are unsure which type of professional fits your question, briefly describe what you are trying to understand when you make initial contact.
Investment Property Resources
Investment-property transitions can involve specialized professionals beyond the real estate team. Cindy's directory includes two contacts identified specifically with 1031 exchange services.
1031 Exchange
Leader Bank - NW 1031 Exchange Advisor
A 1031 exchange is a specialized area that can involve several professional disciplines. If it is relevant to your real estate plans, speak directly with the appropriate exchange, accounting, or other professional about your individual circumstances.
Business & Commercial
Commercial and business-related financing can involve a different process from a typical residential mortgage. Cindy's directory includes a separate commercial lending contact for clients who need a starting point in this area.
Banner Bank Bellevue
Understanding the Network
These professionals may all become part of a broader real estate conversation, but they do not perform the same work. Matching the question to the appropriate specialty can make the resource directory easier to use.
A resource for questions about residential financing, application steps, documentation, and the lender's own process for a planned home purchase.
A resource when a client's real estate plans intersect with accounting, record keeping, or tax questions specific to their own financial circumstances.
A resource for broader financial-planning conversations that extend beyond the purchase or sale of a particular home.
A specialized resource for clients whose property plans involve an exchange-related conversation.
A legal professional focused on real-estate-related matters when a client has a question that calls for legal guidance.
Business, landlord-tenant, family, and estate matters may call for an attorney whose practice focuses on that specific area.
Homeownership Planning
Insurance is another professional conversation that can become relevant when purchasing or owning a home. It is separate from mortgage lending, real estate representation, accounting, and legal services.
Property characteristics, intended use, and a homeowner's own needs can influence the questions they bring to an insurance professional. For policy-specific information, work directly with the insurance professional you choose.
Professional Legal Resources
Cindy's directory includes attorneys across several specialties. Organizing them by practice area makes it easier to identify which contact may be most relevant to the type of question you have.

From Search to Homeownership
Not every transaction involves every professional on this page. The right resource depends on the client, property, ownership structure, and questions that come up along the way.
Buyers may choose to begin a financing conversation before narrowing down homes and communities.
Questions involving financing, ownership, business interests, or another specialty may lead to an additional professional.
Accountants, advisors, attorneys, or exchange professionals may become relevant depending on the owner's plans.
Some of these professional relationships may remain useful as ownership, investment, business, or estate needs evolve.
Before You Reach Out
You do not need to have every detail figured out before contacting a professional. A little context can help them understand what kind of conversation you are looking for.
Share whether your question relates to buying, selling, owning, investing, business, or another need.
If a property is involved, provide the location and basic property type when it is useful to the conversation.
Make sure the professional's area of work matches the question you are trying to address.
Professional availability and service areas can change, so coordinate directly with the contact you choose.
