History

Established in 2003.

Ken Kondziela and Resa Gutierrez-​Tufts have worked in the mortgage industry, in a variety of capacities, for over 17 years. In April of 1998, they began working together in the mortgage department of a local bank and eventually branched off on their own to form NW Premier Mortgage, Inc. in 2003. Their goal was to create a better way to help clients navigate the often-​confusing world of residential lending.

For over a decade now, NW Premier Mortgage has worked hard to build a reputation for honest business practices and integrity. Our experienced and friendly team strives to provide a high level of personal service, and we never fail to remember that it is our clients that make our business a success. As a result, the majority of our client base comes from referrals and repeat business, and we look forward to adding you to the list!

Meet the Business Owner

Ken K.

Business Owner

After earning a finance degree from Oregon State University, Ken spent four years working as a stockbroker before deciding that getting out of bed at 4:30 am each day was not his cup of tea. The purchase of his first «fixer» home triggered an interest in the mortgage industry, leading him to employment as a loan officer at a local bank. Though he rejoiced at the more amenable office hours and gained invaluable experience from some excellent mentors, he yearned for the flexibility, freedom, and direct client contact that would allow him to provide what was truly best for his borrowers.

In 2003, he formed NW Premier Mortgage with the goal of doing just that. He has earned the trust, friendship, and repeat business of countless clients over the years by providing honest feedback and recommendations, and guiding them through the obstacle course of options that is the lending industry.
