Joshua Donion
Certified Divorce Lending Professional (CDLP)

As a Certified Divorce Lending Professional, (CDLP^®), I focus my practice on helping divorcing homeowners make a more informed decision regarding their home equity solutions and the divorce team identify any potential conflicts between the divorce settlement, the mortgage, and the real property.

With over two decades of experience in the world of residential lending, since October of 2002, Josh is a true professional.  He understands that securing a mortgage is likely the largest financial commitment you may ever face.  While the industry tends to focus on 'qualification' (which simply meets the banks concerns of being paid back) Josh prefers to take a holistic approach and shift the conversation to 'affordability' and how the housing decision impacts a clients ability to save for the future and maintain a satisfying lifestyle in the present. 

Josh understands first hand how hard divorce can be, and the importance of having a MORTGAGE PLAN during the negotiation stage, PRIOR to a final Settlement Agreement.  Josh truly believes his clients best interests are his best interests

Josh was born and raised on Capitol Hill and currently lives in the Montlake neighborhood. He graduated from Tulane University's A.B. Freeman School of Business with a BSM in Marketing.
