Today we’d like to introduce you to Ellen Frazier.
Hi Ellen, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
With over two decades of unwavering dedication to the mortgage industry, I am a seasoned mortgage professional and entrepreneur, fearlessly navigating the ever-evolving landscape of finance. Recently adorned with the title of a Mortgage Broker, I am on a mission to redefine the narrative around home financing while weaving mindfulness and balance into both my professional and personal realms. Having honed my skills for over 20 years in the mortgage industry, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to every transaction. From traditional lending practices to pioneering innovative solutions, I have been an advocate for transforming challenges into opportunities, ensuring my clients achieve their homeownership dreams.
As a female entrepreneur, I’ve embraced the spirit of innovation, founding and leading ventures that transcend the conventional boundaries of the mortgage sector. My commitment to excellence has not only fueled my professional success but has also allowed me to create spaces where creativity and client-centric solutions thrive. Beyond the boardroom, my journey transcends numbers and interest rates. A proud advocate of mindfulness, yoga, and meditation, I’ve discovered the profound impact these practices have on both my professional acumen and personal well-being. As someone celebrating over a year of sobriety, I believe in the power of balance, not only in finances but in life as a whole. I am passionate about weaving mindfulness into the fabric of finance. By combining the precision of numbers with the serenity of mindfulness, I aim to guide my clients towards not just a mortgage, but a holistic financial experience that nurtures stability and growth.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
We evolve in every challenge and we can use obstacles as lessons toward our growth. I have failed, I have thrived, and both have taught me more about myself. We learn who we really are when faced with adversity. And we also learn how we handle success when we celebrate those moments. Leaning in on my intuition has helped guide me through time of challenge when obstacles need to be overcome.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Recently adorned with the prestigious title of Mortgage Broker, I am excited to amplify my impact and further tailor solutions that resonate with the unique needs of my clients. This designation empowers me to bring a personalized touch to the mortgage experience, creating a bridge between dreams and reality. My focus is on first time homebuyers, veterans, and real estate investors. I find so much joy in helping a family find their dream home. I love helping veterans because I come from a military family and it is my way of giving back. Recently, I shifted my focus to real estate investors as I have began investing in rentals more myself.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
I grew up in Valle Crucis NC not far from the blue ridge parkway. Winters were cold and long but the spring and summer was full of all kinds of magical moments. My mom and I used to pick blackberries off of our land when I was a little girl. We would sell gallons of blackberries to the local bed and breakfast. They would make blackberry cobbler for their guests. If you have ever picked blackberries then you know that they live among briars and have thorns. My mom would stand on the road beside our house and point to the best blackberries and I would go get them. Well, one day I must have had enough because I remember getting tangled up in those briars and I dropped all of the blackberries that I had worked so hard to pick. I thought my mom would be mad that I lost the blackberries. Of course she was more concerned about me and why I was crying. I told her that I dropped the blackberries and she comforted me letting me know it was OK and then she helped me fill my bucket so fast! When we work together as a team we can accomplish so much more. And I am sure all of the woodland animals had a ball with the blackberries that fell on the ground.
